User metadata and language dictionary

[pickledplum]

I have two questions.

First questions: I’m using lock.js. Is there a way to add different placeholder values for custom user_metadata in the language dictionary?

Sorry if this is already expressed elsewhere in the documentation. I couldn’t find it so maybe someone could point me in the right direction.

Second question: Is there any way to view user_metadata through auth0.js, not lock or management API?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @pickledplum,

First questions: I’m using lock.js. Is there a way to add different placeholder values for custom user_metadata in the language dictionary?

Can you give an example of this?

Second question: Is there any way to view user_metadata through auth0.js, not lock or management API?

You can add the metadata to the id token via a custom claim in a rule. This will make it available in you auth0.js app.

Here is an example:

function (user, context, callback) {
  const namespace = 'https://myapp.example.com/';
  context.idToken[namespace + 'preferred_contact'] = user.user_metadata.preferred_contact;
  callback(null, user, context);
}

Let me know if anything needs clarification.

Thanks,
Dan
