Async/Await or Promise in afterAuth

[jstoeffler]

Hi,

Thanks for this great package! I'm working in an app, and I'm trying to save the store data (the store domain and the access token of the user) in a database.

I thought the best way to do this is in afterAuth, because you want to do this as early as possible in the process. The problem is that the database APIS are Promise/Async-Await based, and it seems like it's not possible to wait for afterAuth to return the redirection.

Perhaps my design is bad, or perhaps there's a way to combine afterAuth with an async middleware? Or is this something which is not supported?

Hi, you can use async promise in afterAuth parameter.

Example:

const shopifyConfig = {
    host: config.shopify.host,
    apiKey: config.shopify.apiKey,
    secret: config.shopify.secret,
    scope: ['read_products, read_inventory'],
    shopStore: new MongoStrategy(),
    async afterAuth(request, response) {
        const { session: { accessToken, shop } } = request;

        slackNotification(shop);
        await registerAppShop(shop);
        await registerShopifyShop(shop, accessToken);
        await startCalculateVariantStatistics(shop, accessToken);
        await registerWebhooks(shop, accessToken);
        return response.redirect('/');
    },
};
