How to identify that Email Already taken while signup

[nsisodiya]

It is my first day with waterlock auth. It is working perfectly at my end.
However, I noticed that

/auth/login

create new signup of user, as well login the user.

I think, we should have two urls for this

one for creating user and other for login the user.

Because in my application, When user is creating new login/signup , he should get notified that this email/userId is already taken.

Thanks

Yes! That is a good idea, however this was the intended functionality. If you wanted to disable this you can simply change the createOnNotFound to false then implement your own register form.

may you send me further details.. where to change the flag

[nsisodiya]

May you give further help, in which file this flag createOnNotFound is located and how I need to change it !

[nsisodiya]

I got the location of the flag !
Thanks !

Sure thing! If you head over to the README file and checkout the Usage section you'll notice that the createOnNotFound flag should be in the waterlock.js file. 😄

Yes, I am going to create a registation form !
Because I have two forms, I need two url too !
I know one url

/auth/login

This is for login, What is the url for creating new user (via registration form) ?

I could be wrong but I think you need to create a new register action here:

https://github.com/waterlock/waterlock-local-auth/blob/master/lib/controllers/actions/login.js

And then a new function in generateScope (https://github.com/waterlock/waterlock-local-auth/blob/master/lib/scope.js) which can register the new user - basically regardless of whether createOnNotFound is true or false. To be clear, in your generateRegisterScope function you should not be checking for createOnNotFound because you will have set that to false to stop the login action from doing this for you.
