Redirection Callback Hook

This function is used to change where the user is redirected to post certain actions. For example, you can use this to redirect a user to a specific URL post sign in / up. If you're embedding the sign in / up components in a popup and wish to disable redirection entirely, simply return null.

import EmailPassword from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/emailpassword";
import SuperTokens from "supertokens-auth-react";

SuperTokens.init({
    appInfo: {
        appName: "SuperTokens",
        apiDomain: "http://localhost:3000",
        websiteDomain: "http://localhost:3000"
    },
    getRedirectionURL: async (context) => {
        if (context.action === "SUCCESS" && context.newSessionCreated) {
            // called on a successful sign in / up. Where should the user go next?
            let redirectToPath = context.redirectToPath;
            if (redirectToPath !== undefined) {
                // we are navigating back to where the user was before they authenticated
                return redirectToPath;
            }
            if (context.createdNewUser) {
                // user signed up
                return "/onboarding"
            } else {
                // user signed in
                return "/dashboard"
            }
        } else if (context.action === "TO_AUTH") {
            // called when the user is not authenticated and needs to be redirected to the auth page.
            return "/auth";
        }
        // return undefined to let the default behaviour play out
        return undefined;
    },
    recipeList: [
        EmailPassword.init({
            getRedirectionURL: async (context) => {
                if (context.action === "RESET_PASSWORD") {
                    // called when the user clicked on the forgot password button
                }
                // return undefined to let the default behaviour play out
                return undefined;
            }
