Hi @Kbral. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, Wasp provides ways to add a username field during user signup. Here are the main approaches based on the knowledge sources: 1. Customizing the signup process: You can add extra fields like username to the signup process by customizing the userSignupFields. This allows you to define additional fields that will be saved to the User entity during signup. Auth Overview - Customizing the Signup Process explains: "Sometimes you want to include extra fields in your signup process, like first name and last name and save them in the User entity." 2. Defining extra signup fields: You can define the userSignupFields in your main.wasp file and implement the logic in a separate JavaScript/TypeScript file. Auth Overview - Defining Extra Fields provides an example:
// main.wasp
app crudTesting {
// ...
auth: {
userEntity: User,
methods: {
usernameAndPassword: {
userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/signup",
},
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login",
},
}

// src/auth/signup.js
import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'

export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
// You can add username field here
username: async (data) => {
// Add your validation logic for username
return data.username
},
})

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

// src/auth/signup.js
import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'

export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
// You can add username field here
username: async (data) => {
// Add your validation logic for username
return data.username
},
})

3. For social auth methods: If you're using social authentication, you can override the default behavior to include a username field. Social Auth Overview - Overrides mentions: "You can create custom signup setups, such as allowing users to define a custom username after they sign up with a social provider." Remember to adjust your User entity in the main.wasp file to include the username field, and update your client-side forms to collect the username during signup. Auth Username & Password - API Reference notes: "You can add any other fields you want to the user entity. Make sure to also define them in the userSignupFields field if they need to be set during the sign-up process." These approaches allow you to customize the signup process in Wasp to include a username field. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Kbral, 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?

@kapa.ai but with the email and password i want to insert the name of the user...

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Certainly! I understand you want to add a name field along with email and password during user signup when using email and password authentication. Wasp provides a way to do this by customizing the signup process. Here's how you can achieve that: 1. First, you need to define the extra field (name) in your main.wasp file: Auth Overview - Customizing the Signup Process shows how to do this:
app myApp {
// ...
auth: {
userEntity: User,
methods: {
email: {
userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/signup",
},
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login",
},
}

entity User {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
name String
psl=}
app myApp {
// ...
auth: {
userEntity: User,
methods: {
email: {
userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/signup",
},
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login",
},
}

entity User {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
name String
psl=}
2. Then, define the userSignupFields in your src/auth/signup.js (or .ts) file:
import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'

export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
name: async (data) => {
const name = data.name
if (typeof name !== 'string' || name.length < 2) {
throw new Error('Name must be at least 2 characters long')
}
return name
},
})
import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'

export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
name: async (data) => {
const name = data.name
if (typeof name !== 'string' || name.length < 2) {
throw new Error('Name must be at least 2 characters long')
}
return name
},
})
3. To include the name field in the signup form, you need to customize the SignupForm component. You can do this by using the additionalFields prop: Auth Overview - Customizing the Signup Component provides an example:
import { SignupForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'

export const SignupPage = () => {
return (
<SignupForm
additionalFields={[
{
name: 'name',
label: 'Name',
type: 'text',
required: true,
},
]}
/>
)
}
import { SignupForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'

export const SignupPage = () => {
return (
<SignupForm
additionalFields={[
{
name: 'name',
label: 'Name',
type: 'text',
required: true,
},
]}
/>
)
}
This setup will add a name field to your signup form, validate it on the server-side, and save it to the User entity along with the email and password. Remember to adjust your User entity in the main.wasp file to include the name field, as shown in step 1. By following these steps, you'll be able to collect the user's name along with their email and password during the signup process. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Kbral, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

@kapa.ai but if i want to put the name first?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I understand you want to place the name field before the email and password fields in the signup form. Unfortunately, the current version of Wasp doesn't provide a direct way to reorder the predefined fields in the auth forms. According to the Discord support thread, a community member asked a similar question: "I am just wondering is there anyway to reorder the fields in the auth form? I have added in 2 new fields, first name and last name. And ideally i would like those to appear before the password field but at the moment it seems it can only go after them with the additonalFields prop" The response from another community member suggests that this isn't currently possible with the generated AuthUI components: "Seems like you won't be able to then with the generated AuthUI components. If you want finer control you can pull in the Wasp auth functions and hooks and build your own form." To achieve what you want, you have two main options: 1. Create a custom signup form: You can create your own signup form from scratch, arranging the fields in any order you prefer. You'll need to use the lower-level auth primitives provided by Wasp. Auth Username & Password - Customizing the Auth Flow shows how to use the signup action:
import { signup, login } from 'wasp/client/auth'

// In your custom form component
async function handleSubmit(event) {
event.preventDefault()
try {
await signup({
username, // or email, depending on your auth setup
password,
name, // your custom field
})
// ... handle successful signup
} catch (error) {
// ... handle error
}
}

import { signup, login } from 'wasp/client/auth'

// In your custom form component
async function handleSubmit(event) {
event.preventDefault()
try {
await signup({
username, // or email, depending on your auth setup
password,
name, // your custom field
})
// ... handle successful signup
} catch (error) {
// ... handle error
}
}

2. Use CSS to visually reorder the fields: While this doesn't change the actual order of fields in the DOM, you could use CSS to visually reposition the name field above the email and password fields. Both of these solutions require more custom work on your part, but they allow you to have full control over the order of the fields in your signup form. Remember to ensure that your backend is set up to handle the additional "name" field during the signup process, as explained in the previous answer. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Kbral, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- You're correct in observing this behavior, and it's a known issue in Wasp. This situation occurs due to how Wasp currently handles authentication tokens and responses. Let me explain based on the information from our knowledge sources. Github Issue #1227 describes this exact scenario: "The problem is, if you have some active tab A where you are logged in, but have another tab B where you are logged out, and you go from tab A to B, then in B it will be making some calls to /me that will fail, and it will clear the auth token, thus logging you out of A." This behavior is related to how Wasp handles 401 (Unauthorized) responses. When a 401 response is received, Wasp currently clears the auth token stored in localStorage, which is shared across all tabs of the same origin. A community member in a Discord support thread explained: "Tabs share localStorage that would explain if one of them hits a 401 error (even if some page doesn't need auth) we log you out and clear the localStorage for both." The Wasp team is aware of this issue and is working on improving the authentication behavior. They've considered different approaches, such as: 1. Differentiating between an invalid/old auth and a request without an auth token. 2. Implementing a listener on localStorage changes to prevent this scenario. However, as of now, this behavior persists. A contributor tested and confirmed: "Testing out the behaviour of: 1. Opening an app in two tabs 2. Logging in one tab 3. Going to the other tab still produces the logging out behaviour. So, this is still a valid issue 👍" For now, you might want to be cautious when working with multiple tabs in your Wasp application, especially if they have different authentication states. The Wasp team is actively working on improving this aspect of the framework. If you need a temporary workaround, you might consider handling authentication states more manually in your application, but this would require more custom code and deviate from Wasp's built-in auth handling. Github Issue #1772 has been created to address and improve "seamless" login redirects, which might also help with this multi-tab scenario in the future. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Kbral, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

@kapa.ai it can be solvable, but why the 'me' request is being done a lot of times/
kapa.ai
kapa.ai2w ago
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't specific information about why the '/me' request is being made multiple times. However, I can provide some insights based on general Wasp behavior and common web application patterns. 1. Auth checks: Wasp uses the '/auth/me' endpoint to check the user's authentication status. This is mentioned in the Github Issue #566: "Wasp currently handles sessions/authentication by having the client (i.e., the browser) make a request towards /auth/me" 2. React's StrictMode: If you're using React 18 with StrictMode enabled (which is common in development), components can render twice. This was mentioned in Github Issue #1272: "After upgrading to React 18 and enabling their new StrictMode, each component is rendered twice in development. This means, our social auth callback page is rendered twice -> which sends the auth token twice to the backend." While this issue specifically mentions social auth, it could potentially affect other auth-related requests as well. 3. Multiple components: If you have multiple components that depend on the user's authentication status, each might trigger a separate '/me' request. 4. Route changes: The auth status might be checked on each route change or when certain protected routes are accessed. However, without more context about your specific application structure and the exact scenarios where you're observing these multiple requests, it's difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. If you're concerned about the frequency of these requests, you might want to consider implementing some form of caching or debouncing mechanism. However, modifying Wasp's core authentication behavior would require careful consideration and possibly custom implementation. For a more accurate diagnosis, you might want to use browser developer tools to monitor the network requests and identify the exact triggers for these '/me' calls in your application. If you believe this is unexpected behavior in Wasp, consider opening an issue on the Wasp GitHub repository with detailed reproduction steps. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Kbral, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

@kapa.ai but is not about route changing, is more about every click in outside and inside the window, the site do the request
kapa.ai
kapa.ai2w ago
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I understand your concern about the '/me' request being triggered frequently, not just on route changes but on various interactions both inside and outside the window. Unfortunately, the knowledge sources provided don't contain specific information about this behavior in Wasp. This frequent checking of authentication status on various interactions is not a standard or expected behavior in web applications, including those built with Wasp. It suggests that there might be an issue with how the authentication checks are implemented in your specific application or a potential bug in Wasp itself. Given that this behavior is unexpected and potentially problematic, I would recommend the following steps: 1. Verify the behavior: Use browser developer tools to confirm exactly when and how often these '/me' requests are being made. 2. Check your application code: Look for any event listeners or hooks that might be triggering authentication checks unnecessarily. 3. Report the issue: If you can't find anything in your code that explains this behavior, it would be best to report this as an issue on the Wasp GitHub repository. Provide a minimal reproducible example and detailed steps to observe the behavior. 4. Seek direct support: You might want to reach out to the Wasp community on their Discord channel for more immediate assistance. They might be able to help you diagnose the issue or confirm if it's a known problem with the framework. Remember, excessive authentication checks can impact performance and user experience, so it's important to address this issue. The Wasp team and community would likely be interested in investigating and resolving this unexpected behavior. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @Kbral, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.
