Changing Colours

It is possible to update the default theme with your colours to make it fit perfectly with your website by defining a few css variables in the style property to the EmailPassword.init call. You have to specify the colors as RGB (see the following example), because we use the rgb and rgba functions to apply them.

For example if your website uses a dark theme, here is how you can quickly customize it:

ReactJS

Note

You can use the supertokens-web-js SDK which exposes several helper functions that query the APIs exposed by the SuperTokens backend SDK.

You can refer to this example app as a reference for using the supertokens-web-js SDK.

Angular

Note

To use SuperTokens with React Native you need to use the supertokens-react-native SDK. The SDK provides session management features.

To add login functionality, you need to build your own UI and call the APIs exposed by the backend SDKs. You can find the API spec here
