hot swapping auth

Background: I've got a wasp app running username and password -NOTE: the app has actions and queries that refer to the username (provideUserId) in order to display it in the ui Wasp version: 0.14.0 Platform: MacOS Sonoma 14.1.1 Problem: -I want to change the auth so that it's email + password BUT also includes a username field on signup so we can keep using this in the app What's the best way to do this? Possible Solution: Should I change the main.wasp to email+pass then add username to user model in prisma? I've heard if you do custom auth correctly, wasp will push out custom fields to your auth forms

Hi @Billy Howell. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, you're on the right track. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this: 1. Change the auth method to email and password in your main.wasp file. You can do this by modifying the auth field in your app declaration. Here's an example:

app myApp {  
  wasp: {  
    version: "^0.14.0"  
  },  
  title: "My App",  
  auth: {  
    userEntity: User,  
    methods: {  
      emailAndPassword: {},  
    },  
    onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"  
  }  
}

app myApp {  
  wasp: {  
    version: "^0.14.0"  
  },  
  title: "My App",  
  auth: {  
    userEntity: User,  
    methods: {  
      emailAndPassword: {},  
    },  
    onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"  
  }  
}

(Source: Wasp Docs - Setting Up Username & Password Authentication (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/username-and-pass)) 2. Add a username field to your User entity in your Prisma schema. This will allow you to store the username for each user. 3. Define extra fields for the signup process. You can do this by defining a userSignupFields object in your src/auth/signup.js file. Here's an example:

import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'  
  
export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({  
  username: async (data) => {  
    const username = data.username  
    if (typeof username !== 'string') {  
      throw new Error('Username is required')  
    }  
    if (username.length < 5) {  
      throw new Error('Username must be at least 5 characters long')  
    }  
    return username  
  },  
})

import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'  
  
export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({  
  username: async (data) => {  
    const username = data.username  
    if (typeof username !== 'string') {  
      throw new Error('Username is required')  
    }  
    if (username.length < 5) {  
      throw new Error('Username must be at least 5 characters long')  
    }  
    return username  
  },  
})

(Source: Wasp Docs - Defining Extra Fields (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/overview#1-defining-extra-fields)) 4. Update your main.wasp file to use the userSignupFields. You can do this by modifying the auth field in your app declaration. Here's an example:

app crudTesting {  
  // ...  
  auth: {  
    userEntity: User,  
    methods: {  
      emailAndPassword: {  
        userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/signup",  
      },  
    },  
    onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login",  
  },  
}

app crudTesting {  
  // ...  
  auth: {  
    userEntity: User,  
    methods: {  
      emailAndPassword: {  
        userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/signup",  
      },  
    },  
    onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login",  
  },  
}

(Source: Wasp Docs - Defining Extra Fields (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/overview#1-defining-extra-fields)) 5. Update your actions and queries to use the email field instead of the username field. Since you're switching to email and password authentication, you'll need to update any actions or queries that refer to the username field to use the email field instead. 6. Test your changes. Make sure to thoroughly test your changes to ensure that everything is working as expected. Remember, Wasp will automatically include any extra fields you define in the signup form. So, if you define a username field as an extra field, Wasp will include it in the signup form. Also, keep in mind that Wasp recommends using email and password authentication for production use, as username and password authentication is very basic (source (https://discord.com/channels/686873244791210014/1193648181465071616)). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Billy Howell, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

miho•5mo ago

Kapa gets things wrong, emailAndPassword doesn't exist, but the method is called email: https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/email#1-enable-email-authentication-in-mainwasp Consult the docs for the specifics but here how I'd do it: 1. Add the email login method and remove the usernameAndPassword 2. Add the username field on the User entity 3. Run some code that copies the username from the AuthIdentity to the User's username property (some useful code: https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/email#creating-a-custom-sign-up-action and https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/data-model/backends#seeding-the-database) 4. Add the custom field on the signup form called username: https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/overview#customizing-the-signup-process

Databases | Wasp

Entities, Operations and Automatic CRUD together make a high-level interface for working with your app's data. Still, all that data has to live somewhere, so let's see how Wasp deals with databases.

Overview | Wasp

Auth is an essential piece of any serious application. That's why Wasp provides authentication and authorization support out of the box.

Email | Wasp

Wasp supports e-mail authentication out of the box, along with email verification and "forgot your password?" flows. It provides you with the server-side implementation and email templates for all of these flows.
