GoTrue JS Demo Site

You can test out the authentication methods with your own site. Take a peek at the source code or deploy a copy to Netlify to play around with the code by yourself.

Authentication methods

Sign up

Create a new user with the specified email and password

Example code

      
auth.signup(email, password)
    .then(response => console.log("Success!Check your inbox! ", response))
    .catch(error => console.log("It 's an error", error));

Example response

                      
  {
    id: 'example-id ',
    aud: ' ',
    role: ' ',
    email: 'example@example.com ',
    confirmation_sent_at: '2018-04-27T22:36:59.636416916Z ',
    app_metadata: { provider: 'email ' },
    user_metadata: null,
    created_at: '2018-04-27T22:36:59.632133283Z ',
    updated_at: '2018-04-27T22:37:00.061039863Z '
  }

Confirm

This function confirms a user sign up via a unique confirmation token.

When a new user signed up, a confirmation email will be sent to the registered email address.
(Make sure Autoconfirm isn't turned on under identity settings.)

In the email, there's a link that says Confirm your email address. When a user clicks on the link, it'll be redirected to the URL of the site including a fragment identifier #confirmation_token=Iyo9xHvsGVbW-9A9v4sDmQ.

For security reason, the confirmation_token is hidden from the browser via a redirect. If you wish to manually confirm a user using the auth.confirm(token) method, copy the link location from the email and use the curl -I script to get the confirmation token in your terminal. For example,

                      
  curl -I https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30002868/example.netlify.com?p=example-token

Request password recovery

This function sends a request to GoTrue API and triggers a password recovery email to the specified email address

Example code

                        
auth
  .requestPasswordRecovery(email)
  .then(response => console.log("Recovery email sent", { response }))
  .catch(error => console.log("Error sending recovery mail: %o", error));

Account recovery

This function recovers a user account via a recovery token.

After a user requested password recovery, an email will be sent to their inbox with a reset password link. A user can login into the site again by clicking on the link. Their browser will be redirected to the URL of the site including a fragment identifier recovery_token. For security reason, the recovery_token is hidden from the browser via the redirect. If you wish to test it locally. Use `curl -I` command to substract the recover_token in your terminal. For example,

                        
  curl -I https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30002868/inspiring-ride-d3b2ae.netlify.com?p=somequery
