Problem

For the useEmailPasswordAuth() hook, it would be great if register() returned a promise instead of void. The SDK's app.emailPasswordAuth.registerUser does that. Without returning a promise, it can be hard to work with a sequence of events, like linking identities.

For example:

const registerAndLinkIdentities = async () => {
    try {
	  // Could await old method.
      // await app.emailPasswordAuth.registerUser({email, password})
		
	  // Can't await `register`
      register({email, password});
​
      const credentials = Credentials.emailPassword(email, password);
	  // Which leads to "invalid username/password" here and aborts the
	  // still running registration process.
      await user.linkCredentials(credentials);
​
    } catch (error) {
      // Add error handling logic here
      console.error(error);
    }
};

Solution

useEmailPasswordAuth.register should return a promise that resolves based on app.emailPasswordAuth.registerUser's behavior.

How important is this improvement for you?

I would like to have it but have a workaround

Feature would mainly be used with

Atlas App Services: Auth or Functions etc
