useUpdatePassword

caution

This hook can only be used if authProvider is provided.

useUpdatePassword calls updatePassword method from authProvider under the hood.

It returns the result of react-query's useMutation.

Data that is resolved from updatePassword will be returned as the data in the query result with the following type:

type AuthActionResponse = {
    success: boolean;
    redirectTo?: string;
    error?: Error;
    [key: string]: unknown;
};

• success: A boolean indicating whether the operation was successful. If success is false, a notification will be shown.
  • When error is provided, the notification will contain the error message and name. Otherwise, a generic error message will be shown with the following values { name: "Update Password Error", message: "Error while resetting password" }.
• redirectTo: If has a value, the app will be redirected to the given URL.
• error: If has a value, a notification will be shown with the error message and name.
• [key: string]: Any additional data you wish to include in the response, keyed by a string identifier.

Usage

Normally refine provides a default update password page. If you prefer to use this default update password page, there is no need to handle update password flow manually.
If we want to build a custom update password page instead of the default one that comes with refine, useUpdatePassword can be used like this:

pages/customupdatePasswordPage

import { useUpdatePassword } from "@refinedev/core";

type updatePasswordVariables = {
    password: string;
};

export const updatePasswordPage = () => {
    const { mutate: updatePassword } =
        useUpdatePassword<updatePasswordVariables>();

    const onSubmit = (values: updatePasswordVariables) => {
        updatePassword(values);
    };

    return (
        <form onSubmit={onSubmit}>
            <label>Password</label>
            <input name="password" value="refine" />
            <button type="submit">Submit</button>
        </form>
    );
};

tip

mutate acquired from useUpdatePassword can accept any kind of object for values since the updatePassword method from authProvider doesn't have a restriction on its parameters.
A type parameter for the values can be provided to useUpdatePassword.

const { mutate: updatePassword } = useUpdatePassword<{ newPassword: string }>();

info

useUpdatePassword gives you query strings for the updatePassword method from authProvider. If you have a logic that sends a password regeneration email to the email address while resetting the password and proceeds through the access token. You can use queryStrings variable updatePassword method from authProvider. For example, your regeneration link is YOUR_DOMAIN/update-password?token=123. You can access the token from the parameters of the URL.

import type { AuthBindings } from "@refinedev/core";

const authProvider: AuthBindings = {
    // ---
    updatePassword: (params) => {
        // you can access query strings from params.queryStrings
        console.log(params.token);
        if (param.token === "123") {
            // your logic to update the password
        }
        // ---
    },
};

Redirection after updatePassword

A custom URL can be given to mutate the function from the useUpdatePassword hook if you want to redirect yourself to a certain URL.

import { useUpdatePassword } from "@refinedev/core";

const { mutate: updatePassword } = useUpdatePassword();

updatePassword({ redirectPath: "/custom-url" });

Then, you can handle this URL in your updatePassword method of the authProvider.

import type { AuthBindings } from "@refinedev/core";

const authProvider: AuthBindings = {
    // ---
    updatePassword: async ({ redirectPath }) => {
        // ---
        return {
            success: true,
            redirectTo: redirectPath,
        };
    },
};

info

If the promise returned from updatePassword is resolved with nothing, app won't be redirected to any route by default.

Error handling

Since the methods of authProvider always return a resolved promise, you can handle errors by using the success value in the response.

import { useUpdatePassword } from "@refinedev/core";

const { mutate: updatePassword } = useUpdatePassword();

updatePassword(
    {
        newPassword: "refine",
    },
    {
        onSuccess: (data) => {
            if (!data.success) {
                // handle error
            }

            // handle success
        },
    },
);

caution

The onError callback of the useUpdatePassword hook will not be called if success is false because the callback is triggered only when the promise is rejected. However, the methods of authProvider always return a resolved promise.
