Inviting a teammate with nextAuth

Hi guys, in [...nextAuth], the email provider is working nicely:

    EmailProvider({
      sendVerificationRequest(params: SendVerificationRequestParams) {
        const { identifier: email, url, expires } = params;
        const newParams = { ...mailjetParams, email, url };
        newParams.email = params.identifier;
        sendEmailWithMailjet(newParams as SendWithMailjetProps);
      },
    }),

    EmailProvider({
      sendVerificationRequest(params: SendVerificationRequestParams) {
        const { identifier: email, url, expires } = params;
        const newParams = { ...mailjetParams, email, url };
        newParams.email = params.identifier;
        sendEmailWithMailjet(newParams as SendWithMailjetProps);
      },
    }),

Now i want to add invite team members functionality. How can I trigger this from the server side?

do you want to make a whitelist?

"invite a teammate" is a complex enough concept that you'd be rolling it yourself Do you want teams functionality? Like teams with shared permission sets and such?

If clerk has this built in I'd just use that tbh https://clerk.dev/?ref=theo

You can't send an authentication request for a user who doesn't exist

fotoflo•17mo ago

i actually create the user first that's done

theo•17mo ago

...I don't recommend creating users without the user authing Basically asking for a split brain problem

in most flows ive seen the user accepts the invite by clicking a fully formed link with a token in an email that takes them to login they login, and the token is passed with the oauth or email login

Yeah seems like a good approach

fotoflo•17mo ago

but how do you pass the invite token across the next-auth boundry? cc @barry @Nedi ? i got the invite token and i figured out how to pass it through google auth! i think it looks like i send them through a page like nedi suggested. maybe just a redirect

Take a look at dub.sh it's open-source and ut has team functionality
