We can now implement our sign up page. Create a signin.astro file in the src/pages directory:
JavaScript
---
const { user } = Astro.locals;
if (user) {
return Astro.redirect("/account");
}
---
<form method="POST">
<input id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email" type="email" />
<input id="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" type="password" />
<input id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name" type="text" />
<button type="submit"> Sign up</button>
</form>
This is an HTML form with an email and password input. When the form is submitted, we want to send the email and password to Appwrite to authenticate the user. To use Astro form actions, add an if (Astro.request.method === "POST") statement to the server-side javascript.
In the same file, implement the following.
JavaScript
---
import { SESSION_COOKIE, createAdminClient } from "../server/appwrite";
import { ID } from "node-appwrite";
// ... existing javascript
if (Astro.request.method === "POST") {
// Extract the form data
const data = await Astro.request.formData();
const email = data.get("email");
const password = data.get("password");
const name = data.get("name");
// Create the admin client
const { account } = createAdminClient();
// Create the email password session
await account.create(ID.unique(), email, password, name);
const session = await account.createEmailPasswordSession(email, password);
// Set the session cookie
Astro.cookies.set(SESSION_COOKIE, session.secret, {
path: "/",
expires: new Date(session.expire),
sameSite: "strict",
secure: true,
httpOnly: true,
});
// Redirect to the account page
return Astro.redirect("/account");
}
