Creating an Account

To let users create a new account in your service, you can use the signup() method.

Example: Creating an Account

Form

<form action='login.html' onsubmit="skapi.signup(event).catch(err=>alert(err.message))">
    <h2>Sign-Up</h2>
    <hr>
    <label>
        Email<br>
        <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="user@email.com" required>
    </label><br><br>
    <label>
        Password<br>
        <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Your password" required>
    </label><br><br>
    <label>
        Name<br>
        <input name="name" placeholder="Your name">
    </label><br><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Sign-Up">
</form>

JS

let parameters = {
  email: "user@email.com",
  password: "password", // Password must be between 6 and 60 characters.
  name: "User's name"
};

skapi.signup(parameters)
  .then(res => window.href = 'login.html')
  .catch(err => window.alert(err.message));

The example above shows how to let users create their account in your service. Once the user signup is successful, the user will be redirected to the login page. The first argument takes the user's input (email, password, name) that will be used for signup.

WARNING

• If the user have not logged in to your service after account creation, they will NOT appear on your user list in Skapi's admin page.

• If 7 days have passed since the account creation, and the user still have not logged in to your service, user's signup will be automatically invalidated.

Login after Signup

The second argument takes additional options when creating an account. You can also automatically login the user right after successful signup by setting options.login to true in options argument.

Form

<form onsubmit="skapi.signup(event, { login: true }).then(u=>alert('Hello ' + u.name))">
    <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="E-Mail" required><br>
    <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" required><br>
    <input name="name" placeholder="Your name"><br>
    <input type="submit" value="Create Account">
</form>

JS

let parameters = {
  email: "user@email.com",
  password: "password", // Password must be between 6 and 60 characters.
  name: "User's name"
};

let options = {
  login: true // If set to true, users will be automatically logged in after signup.
};

skapi.signup(parameters, options)
  .then(res => u=>alert('Hello ' + u.name));

When the options.login is set to true, the method will return the UserProfile object.
