Hi @silent. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To add extra fields to your custom signup UI in Wasp, you need to do two things: 1. Tell Wasp how to save the extra fields on the server
Define the extra fields in your backend using userSignupFields and register them in your main.wasp file. For example, if you want to add an address field: main.wasp

   app myApp {
     // ...
     auth: {
       userEntity: User,
       methods: {
         usernameAndPassword: {
           userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/signup.js",
         },
       },
       onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
     }
   }

   app myApp {
     // ...
     auth: {
       userEntity: User,
       methods: {
         usernameAndPassword: {
           userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/signup.js",
         },
       },
       onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
     }
   }

src/auth/signup.js

   import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'

   export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
     address: async (data) => {
       const address = data.address
       if (typeof address !== 'string') {
         throw new Error('Address is required')
       }
       if (address.length < 5) {
         throw new Error('Address must be at least 5 characters long')
       }
       return address
     },
   })

   import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'

   export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
     address: async (data) => {
       const address = data.address
       if (typeof address !== 'string') {
         throw new Error('Address is required')
       }
       if (address.length < 5) {
         throw new Error('Address must be at least 5 characters long')
       }
       return address
     },
   })

See more details here. 2. Pass the extra field from your custom signup form
When you call the signup() action from your UI, include the extra field(s) in the object you pass. For example:

   import { signup, login } from 'wasp/client/auth'
async function handleSubmit(event) {
     event.preventDefault()
     try {
       await signup({
         username,
         password,
         address, // <-- your extra field
       })
       await login(username, password)
       // redirect, etc.
     } catch (error) {
       // handle error
     }
   }

   import { signup, login } from 'wasp/client/auth'
async function handleSubmit(event) {
     event.preventDefault()
     try {
       await signup({
         username,
         password,
         address, // <-- your extra field
       })
       await login(username, password)
       // redirect, etc.
     } catch (error) {
       // handle error
     }
   }

The signup() action accepts an object with all the fields you need, not just username and password, as long as you have defined them in userSignupFields on the backend.
Reference Summary:
- Define extra fields in userSignupFields on the backend. - Pass those fields in the object to signup() in your custom UI. If you follow these steps, your extra fields will be saved during signup as expected. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @silent, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist: Perhaps try again in 15mins?

@kapa.ai how about if i use the email and not usernameAndPassword is this still work?

kapa.ai•4mo ago

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Yes, this approach also works if you use the email authentication method instead of usernameAndPassword. You can define extra fields for the email signup process by using the userSignupFields property in your main.wasp file under the email method, and then implement the logic in your backend as shown below: main.wasp

auth: {
  userEntity: User,
  methods: {
    email: {
      userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/signup.js",
    },
  },
  onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
}

auth: {
  userEntity: User,
  methods: {
    email: {
      userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/signup.js",
    },
  },
  onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
}

src/auth/signup.js

import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'

export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
  address: (data) => {
    if (!data.address) {
      throw new Error('Address is required')
    }
    return data.address
  },
  phone: (data) => data.phone,
})

import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'

export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
  address: (data) => {
    if (!data.address) {
      throw new Error('Address is required')
    }
    return data.address
  },
  phone: (data) => data.phone,
})

When you call the signup action from your custom UI, you can pass the extra fields (like address and phone) along with email and password. Wasp will handle them as long as you have defined them in userSignupFields for the email method see the docs. So, the process is the same for both email and usernameAndPassword authentication methods. Just make sure to configure userSignupFields under the correct method in your main.wasp file and backend code. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @silent, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

@kapa.ai tried but still getting an type issue even the field is already in user table

Wohooo @silent, you just became a Waspeteer level 1!

kapa.ai•4mo ago

---------------------- If you are getting a type issue even though the field is present in your User table, here are some things to check based on the official Wasp documentation: 1. Field Name Consistency
Make sure the field name in your userSignupFields definition matches exactly with the field name in your User entity in main.wasp. For example, if your User entity has address, your userSignupFields should also use address as the key. 2. User Entity Definition
Your User entity in main.wasp should include the extra field. For example:

   entity User {=psl
     id       Int    @id @default(autoincrement())
     email    String @unique
     address  String?
   psl=}

   entity User {=psl
     id       Int    @id @default(autoincrement())
     email    String @unique
     address  String?
   psl=}

The field must exist in the User entity for Wasp to save it during signup see here. 3. userSignupFields Return Type
The function for each field in userSignupFields must return a value of the correct type (e.g., String for address). If you return undefined or a wrong type, you may get a type error. 4. TypeScript Definitions
If you are using TypeScript, make sure your types match. For example, if address is optional in the User entity, it should be handled as such in your code. 5. Restart the Dev Server
Sometimes, changes to the entity or auth config require a restart of the Wasp dev server to take effect. If you have checked all of the above and still get a type issue, please provide the exact error message and the relevant code snippets (User entity, userSignupFields, and the signup call). This will help in diagnosing the problem more precisely. The knowledge sources do not provide more specific troubleshooting steps for type issues beyond these points. If the problem persists, it may be a bug or a more advanced type mismatch not covered in the documentation see reference. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ---------------------- Sorry @silent, I seem to be having a bit of trouble.

Hey @silent, The easiest way is to use custom signup fields. You would add them to your main.wasp. e.g. email example:

app __waspAppName__ {
  // ...
  auth: {
    userEntity: User,
    methods: {
      email: {
        fromField: {
          name: "Basic App",
          email: "hello@example.com"
        },
        userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/email",
        emailVerification: {
          clientRoute: EmailVerificationRoute,
        },
        passwordReset: {
          clientRoute: PasswordResetRoute,
        }
      },
    },
    onAuthSucceededRedirectTo: "/",
    onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login",
  },
  //...
}

app __waspAppName__ {
  // ...
  auth: {
    userEntity: User,
    methods: {
      email: {
        fromField: {
          name: "Basic App",
          email: "hello@example.com"
        },
        userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/email",
        emailVerification: {
          clientRoute: EmailVerificationRoute,
        },
        passwordReset: {
          clientRoute: PasswordResetRoute,
        }
      },
    },
    onAuthSucceededRedirectTo: "/",
    onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login",
  },
  //...
}

You would define field validation via that userSignupFields function:

// this is backend validation, important for security
export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
  username: (data) => { security 
    if (typeof data.username !== "string") {
      throw new Error("Username is required.");
    }
    if (data.username.length < 6) {
      throw new Error("Username must be at least 6 characters long.");
    }
    return data.username;
  },
});

// this is backend validation, important for security
export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
  username: (data) => { security 
    if (typeof data.username !== "string") {
      throw new Error("Username is required.");
    }
    if (data.username.length < 6) {
      throw new Error("Username must be at least 6 characters long.");
    }
    return data.username;
  },
});

Finally to have it be rendered in your Auth UI you would add it yo your <SignupForm/> component:

export function SignupPage() {
  return (
    <AuthLayout>
      <SignupForm
        additionalFields={[
          {
            name: "username",
            type: "input",
            label: "Username",
            // this is frontend validation, important for UX
            validations: {
              required: "Username is required",
              minLength: {
                value: 6,
                message: "Username must be at least 6 characters long",
              },
            },
          },
        ]}
      />
    </AuthLayout>
  );
}

export function SignupPage() {
  return (
    <AuthLayout>
      <SignupForm
        additionalFields={[
          {
            name: "username",
            type: "input",
            label: "Username",
            // this is frontend validation, important for UX
            validations: {
              required: "Username is required",
              minLength: {
                value: 6,
                message: "Username must be at least 6 characters long",
              },
            },
          },
        ]}
      />
    </AuthLayout>
  );
}

Important, only fields defined on the User model inside of schema.prisma can be used as user signup fields:

model User {
  id       Int    @id @default(autoincrement())
  username String // <-- we neeed this here
}

model User {
  id       Int    @id @default(autoincrement())
  username String // <-- we neeed this here
}

Also be sure to migrate you database once you add extra fields to User model with wasp db migrate-dev
