Improving developer experience of 'Fetch User Profile Script'

Help
1

When writing a fetch user profile script for my app, I had to use cb(new Error(" ... ")) in order to debug which was not a great developer experience.

The Fetch User Profile Script’ part of the custom social connections extension is very difficult to use effectively. Some improvements I’d like to see include:

  • Replace deprecated request module with something else. A good option is got
  • Detail or provide a location for where console.log outputs are stored

Hi Ethan, I completely agree with you that ‘request’ is very unintuitive.

You would have to see how excited I was when I noticed that I can use other libraries :slight_smile: Check it out, it may help you a lot: Can I require? - Search which node modules you can use in webtask.io

About console.logs, Auth0 provides another extension called “real-time webtask logs” and it works for me.
