useKindeClient returns null

CColin

Using the nuxt module for a while and wanted to implement custom login/sign-ups. For that as I understand I need to use the Kinde client (never used before on the frontend side).

Plain Text

const client = useKindeClient()

function test() {
  console.log(client) // used @click on a button and logs null
}

Also, the type returned by the useKindeClient composable is any, that seems super wrong to me.

Have a great day, Colin.

Okay, just saw that the client was only available server side, meaning I can't use it to create a login button. Do I just have the option of call the rest API with query params?

CColin

Would you be open to add more utils to the nuxt module? I'll be open to contribute as I did some work on my side

Thanks for all the detail @Colin just be sure are you wanting to make use of Kinde custom signup/signin pages? https://docs.kinde.com/authenticate/custom-configurations/custom-authentication-pages/#_top

@Daniel_Kinde from our team will be able to take a deeper dive for you on Monday and he would love to have contribute to the Nuxt module if you are happy to help.

Thanks for your answer, yes I am looking to make custom signup/signin pages, I've read the guide already but I find it hard to get info on ''api/register'' and ''api/login'' parameters (I can't find them anywhere in the docs) I have used the types from the typescript sdk code for now.

I'll make sure to propose some stuff for the nuxt module that I find useful on my side

You can close this as I got things to work (except https://discord.com/channels/1070212618549219328/1231822023857148024) but this seems more like a feature request than a bug report

Hi @Colin Could you explain a little more what you're trying to achieve? There are some pre-build login buttons for example but you mention you're baking your own?

Just want to understand you reasoning

CColin

Hello,
I made my buttons when this was not yet a thing, I should probably swap to the premade ones, I sticked to mine as I made generic button components that could just call the kinde API when needed ("/api/login" and "/api/register"). But now that I tried implementing custom sign-in/up pages I should probably refactor as I can't find any docs for those endpoints.

I don't know if the lack of docs on those endpoints is voluntary as you want to rely on SDKs instead of API calls.
