Browser redirect to sign up instead of log in?

[padraigpearlman]

I'm using Fief for a browser frontend (with a backend RESTful API). My landing page for the frontend website has two buttons: one to sign up and one to log in.

const loginButton = ...
const fiefAuth = new fief.browser.FiefAuth(fiefClient);

loginButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
    fiefAuth.redirectToLogin("my callback address");
});

There is no equivalent redirectToSignUp available. Is there a way to have a sign up button on my homepage that links to the sign up page instead of the log in page?

Hi @pap024 👋 Great question! It's actually possible but was poorly documented and tooled. This is now fixed!

So here is how you can do that:

• We support an optional parameter screen on the authorize URL to force either the login or register page. See here ➡️ https://docs.fief.dev/going-further/authorize-url/
• The redirectToLogin method of the browser integration was not able to accept those optional parameters. This is now fixed in v0.12.0. Example:

fiefAuth.redirectToLogin('http://localhost:8080/callback.html', { extrasParams: { screen: 'register' } });
