Important

For other backend frameworks, you can follow our guide on how to spin up a separate server configured with the SuperTokens backend SDK to authenticate requests and issue session tokens.

                        ...originalImplementation,

                        // here we are only overriding the function that's responsible
                        // for signing in a user.
                        signUp: async function (input) {
                            // TODO: some custom logic

                            // or call the default behaviour as show below
                            return await originalImplementation.signUp(input);
                        },
                        // ...
                        // TODO: override more functions
                    }
                }
            }
        })
    ]
});

• originalImplementation is an object that contains functions that have the original implementation for this recipe. They can be used in your functions as a way to use the SuperTokens' default behaviour.
• In the above code snippet, we override the signUp function of this recipe. This function will be used to handle the scenario when the user clicks on the sign up button from the frontend.
