Handling user login errors
I'm using Appwrite to create an email session with users. At the moment, I do very basic checks within the login form component that check if the password is longer than 8 characters. I then call a function in a separate utility file that handles the login. How can I check for errors such as no user found? Is there perhaps a boilerplate for an appwrite login and register function that I can look at? I'm fairly new to React, is code within a component secure, i.e: can I call the createEmailSession from the component file?
TL;DR
The user is asking for help regarding handling user login errors. They provided a code example using try catch to handle errors when creating an email session. They are using Appwrite for user authentication. They also asked if there is a boilerplate for an Appwrite login and register function. Finally, they asked if it is secure to call `createEmailSession` from the component file in React.
Solution: The user can follow the provided code example to handle errors when creating an email session. As for a boilerplate, they can check Appwrite's documentation or community resources for a sample login and register function. Calling `createEmailSession` from 
You can put it in the component. It's up to you how you want to organize your code.
To handle errors, wrap in try/catch, and then handle the exception
Hi @larkx , here is a pseudo example using try catch:
TypeScript
import { sdk } from 'appwrite';
const loginUser = async (email, password) => {
try {
await sdk.account.createEmailSession(email, password);
} catch (error) {
if (error.code === 'user-not-found' // any other error you are checking for) {
console.log('User not found. Please check your credentials.');
} else {
console.log('An error occurred:', error.message);
}
}
};```
