Signup failed: Invalid userId param: Parameter must contain at most 36 chars. Valid chars are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, period, hyphen, and underscore. Can't start with a special char

Summary

Developers are experiencing issues with sign up due to an invalid `userId` parameter that must be at most 36 characters and follow specific character rules. The solution involves creating a `userId` based on the `username` and a random string. The `userId` should only include valid characters and cannot start with a special character.

"use client"; // This directive is important

import { useState } from "react";

const Signup = () => {
const [email, setEmail] = useState("");
const [password, setPassword] = useState("");
const [username, setUsername] = useState("");
const router = useRouter();

const handleSignup = async (e: React.FormEvent) => {
e.preventDefault();

  const randomString = Math.random().toString(36).substring(2, 15);

  // Combine username and random string to create user ID
  const userId = `${username

    .toLowerCase()}_${randomString}`;
