Creating A User Account

I have a simple form component that is expected to create a new user using the the ###firstName, ###lastName, ###username, and ###password from a react-hook-form application.

Is it possible to create this is user on the click of the form's submit button and have that user created on the appwrite account?

TL;DR

Code sample provided for creating a user account with React hook form. Missing implementation details, and not tested. Need to replace ###firstName, ###lastName, ###username, ###password with correct fields. Possible solution involves calling account.create and account.createEmailPasswordSession within onSubmit, then navigating to the app upon successful creation.

Sure, here is a code sample. Just an FYI I did not test this, it's just a concept of how you might accomplish this.

TypeScript

export default function LoginPage() {
    const { register, handleSubmit, formState: { errors } } = useForm();

    const onSubmit = (data) => {
      try {
        const user = await account.create(
            ID.unique(),
            data.email,
            data.password,
            data.name
        );
  
        const session = await account.createEmailPasswordSession(
            data.email,
            data.password
        );

        // navigate to app
      } catch (err) {
        console.error(err);
      }
    };

    return (
        <>
            <p className="title">Registration Form</p>

            <form onSubmit={handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>
                <input type="text" {...register("name")} />
                <input type="email" {...register("email")} />
                <input type="password" {...register("password")} />
                <input type={"submit"} />
            </form>
        </>
    );
}
