hey, I have a question and I need your help to archive this task, at the moment I am using angular as the frontend and mysql database as the backend. what I need is to the additional data from the user such as address, data of birth, telephone no (custom fields) which I need to save with the user id. so that when ever a user logins I can retrieve the above fields and use in the UI. I need to know whether I can add custom fields to the register in the auth0 register page and store with the userid.
when doing it with mysql it’s super easy, what I do is create a custom register form with relevant fields and after submit the data will be inserted to the table with an auto generated ID
but I feel auth0 is much more secure when comes to validation and it’s easy
how to achieve this task, please guide me
There are a few different ways that you can collect additional profile data:
If you are using Classing Universal Login, you can add additionalSignupFields to the Lock Configuration Options. You update this in the Auth0 Dashboard by going to Branding > Universal Login and going to the Login tab. Enable Customize Login Page and select Lock from the DEFAULT TEMPLATES dropdown. Finally, add the additionalSignupField object to the configs:
var options = {
// other options
additionalSignUpFields: [
{
name: "first_name",
placeholder: "Enter Your First Name"
},
{
type: "select",
name: "location",
placeholder: "Choose your location",
options: [
{value: "us", label: "United States"},
{value: "fr", label: "France"},
{value: "ar", label: "Argentina"}
],
// The following properties are optional
icon: "https://example.com/assests/location_icon.png",
prefill: "us"
}
]
};
var lock = new Auth0Lock('clientid', 'domain', options);
Alternatively you could use a redirect rule to collect profile data on your own page after the user signs up: Redirect Users from Within Rules
