Perfect flow for authentication
this is my code, I want to verify the email before the user can login, but unable to do in createAccount part, how to do that and prevent unauthorized user from login
TypeScript
export const useAuth = () => {
// login user
const loginUser = async (auth) => {
try {
return await account.createEmailSession(auth.email, auth.password)
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
throw error
}
}
// register user
const register = async (auth) => {
try {
const newAccount = await account.create(ID.unique(), auth.email, auth.password, auth.firstName+" "+auth.lastName)
if (!newAccount) {
throw Error
}
const avatarUrl = avatars.getInitials(auth.firstName + " " + auth.lastName, 200, 200)
return await saveUserToDB({
user_id: newAccount.$id,
email: newAccount.email,
first_name: auth.firstName,
last_name: auth.lastName,
avatar_url: avatarUrl,
bodhi_points: 0
})
} catch (e) {
console.log(e)
throw e
}
}
// save user to database
const saveUserToDB = async ( user) => {
try {
return await databases.createDocument(
appwriteConfig.databaseId,
appwriteConfig.userCollectionId,
ID.unique(),
user,
)
} catch (e) {
console.log(e)
throw e
}
}
return {
loginUser,
register,
saveUserToDB,
}
}
TL;DR
Developers want to verify user email before login but are facing issues with the process. To prevent unauthorized access, implement email verification during the account creation step before allowing login.
