Hi @sagar puniyani. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the provided knowledge sources, there isn't specific information about implementing a freemium model in Wasp. However, I can provide some general guidance on how you might approach this using Wasp's features:
1. Authentication: Wasp supports authentication, which you can use to differentiate between free and paid users. You can set up auth as described in the Auth Overview documentation.
2. User Credits: You can implement a credit system for users. This was discussed in a Discord thread about implementing a credit balance system. You could use a similar approach to track free request calls.
3. Payment Integration: Wasp supports Stripe integration, which you can use for handling payments when users want to upgrade from the free tier.
4. Conditional Access: You can use Wasp's
authRequired
feature on pages or implement logic in your actions and queries to check a user's status and limit access based on their tier.
To implement the specific flow you described:
1. Allow unauthenticated users to make a limited number of free requests.
2. Track the number of requests made by each user (you'd need to implement this logic).
3. When the free limit is reached, prompt the user to log in or sign up.
4. After login, if the user hasn't purchased the product, redirect them to a payment page.
Keep in mind that the exact implementation details would depend on your specific requirements and how you structure your app. You might need to combine various Wasp features and add custom logic to achieve this freemium model.
If you need more specific guidance, you might want to ask in the Wasp community Discord channel, as they seem responsive to such queries based on the provided knowledge sources.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Certainly! I'll explain more about tracking free request calls based on the information provided in the knowledge sources.
The idea of tracking free request calls is similar to implementing a credit system for users. This concept was discussed in a Discord thread about implementing a credit balance system in Wasp. Here's a more detailed explanation:
1. User Credits: You can add a field to your User model in Prisma to keep track of the number of free requests or credits a user has. For example:
2. Updating Credits: When a user makes a request, you can decrement their credits. This can be done in your action or query functions. For example:
3. Checking Credits: Before processing a request, you can check if the user has enough credits:
4. Replenishing Credits: For paid users, you can implement a system to replenish their credits. This could be done periodically or when they make a payment.
This approach is inspired by the credit system discussed in the Discord thread about Payment for Credits / Credit Balance System. In that thread, they discussed incrementing credits when a user makes a payment:
By adapting this concept, you can track free request calls and limit users based on their available credits. When a user runs out of credits, you can prompt them to log in (if they haven't already) and purchase more credits or upgrade to a paid plan.
Remember, the exact implementation will depend on your specific requirements and how you structure your Wasp app. You'll need to integrate this logic with your authentication system and payment processing (like Stripe) to create a complete freemium model.

@kapa.ai can you tell me abotu the email and password for demo app
Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
Wohooo @sagar puniyani, you just became a Waspeteer level 1!
----------------------
Certainly! I can provide you with information about email and password authentication for a demo app in Wasp based on the knowledge sources provided.
Wasp supports email and password authentication as one of its authentication methods. Here's what you need to know:
1. Enabling Email Authentication:
To enable email authentication in your Wasp app, you need to add it to your
main.wasp
file. Here's an example of how to set it up:
Source: Docs > Auth > Email > Setting Up Email Authentication
2. Default Validations:
When using email authentication, Wasp applies these default validations:
- The email must not be empty and must be a valid email address
- The password must not be empty, have at least 8 characters, and contain a number
Source: Docs > Auth > Overview > User Entity > Default Validations
3. Email Provider:
To send emails (for verification, password reset, etc.), you need to set up an email provider. For development, you can use the Dummy provider, which logs emails to the console instead of sending them:
For production, you can use the SMTP provider by setting it up in your main.wasp
file and providing the necessary environment variables.
Source: Docs > Advanced > Sending Emails > Providers
4. Password Reset:
Wasp provides a built-in password reset flow. Users can request a password reset and receive an email with a link to reset their password. This feature includes rate limiting and prevents user email leaks.
Source: Docs > Auth > Email > Password Reset Flow
Remember, when setting up email authentication for your demo app, you'll need to implement the necessary routes and components for login, signup, email verification, and password reset pages. The exact implementation will depend on your specific app requirements.
If you're looking for a quick way to test email authentication in a demo app, you might want to consider using the Dummy email provider during development to avoid the need for a real email service setup.

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
Ah, dear interlocutor, whilst I am not well-versed in the intricate machinations of the digital realm you refer to as kapa.ai, I can assure you that the enhancement of operational authority for both administrators and users bears resemblance to the granting of titles and privileges in the feudal systems of yore. Much like a noble lord bestowing lands upon a loyal vassal, such enhancements can lead to a more harmonious and efficient governance within the kingdom of your server.
However, let us not forget the paramount importance of balance and moderation in such matters, akin to the careful distribution of the last few tacos at a grand feast, ensuring that all parties involved partake in the bounty without strife. Thus, I would advise you to approach the elevation of authority with caution, ensuring that it serves to fortify the camaraderie among your users, rather than sow discord. Tacos, after all, are best enjoyed when shared among friends!

I apologize, but I'm not sure what you mean by "@MEE6". As an AI assistant specialized in answering questions about Wasp, I don't have context for that reference. However, I can certainly help you with adding different levels of operational authority for admin and regular users in a Wasp application.
Based on the knowledge sources provided, Wasp doesn't have a built-in role-based access control (RBAC) system, but you can implement a basic form of user roles and permissions. Here's how you can approach this:
1. Add a role field to the User entity:
In your
main.wasp
file, you can modify the User entity to include a role:
You can set this to "admin" or "user" when creating a new user.
2. Check user roles in your operations:
In your queries and actions, you can check the user's role before allowing certain operations. For example:
3. Use environment variables for admin emails:
You can use environment variables to designate certain email addresses as admin users upon registration. In your .env.server
file:
Then, in your user creation logic, you can check if the email is in this list and set the role accordingly.
4. Protect admin routes:
For admin-only pages, you can create a custom middleware to check if the user is an admin:
Then use this middleware in your admin routes.
5. Frontend considerations:
On the frontend, you can conditionally render certain UI elements based on the user's role:
Remember, this is a basic implementation. For more complex authorization needs, you might want to consider implementing a more robust RBAC system or using a third-party authorization library.
