Hi @nicitaacom, it appears that the link to your github repo is broken, can you please paste the correct link to the code snippet so that we can investigate further?

can you please paste the correct link to the code snippet

I corrected it - thank you for your interest in this issue

@nicitaacom thanks for updating the link! what is the value of error as { code?: string })?.code when you do:

if ((error as { code?: string })?.code === "23505") {
  displayResponseMessage(<p className="text-danger">This user already exists</p>)
}

Please avoid using instanceof for checking errors. Use isAuthError and other helper functions in such cases.

Provide code please

Do you mean instead

  if (error instanceof AuthError) {

use

    if (error instanceof isAuthError) {

from gotrue-js.

@nicitaacom he meant use this instead.

if (isAuthError(error)) {
  ...
}

As for customising error messages for Auth, I don't think it's possible as of now. The closest thing I could find was Auth Hooks, but I don't think this does what you'd want, plus it doesn't come free.

@kangmingtay this would be a nice feature though (not sure if it's already open somewhere).

Currently for Supabase API calls, you can throw exceptions using trigger functions to add validations (Ex: If a user tries to add an invalid record, you can create a trigger to check the record and raise an exception). ~ More info

I tested this by inserting data into a public table, and I got a proper error message and status code (the same as the one's I set). However, this doesn't work for auth requests (Ex: supabaseClient.auth.signUp()). I tried creating a trigger that raises an exception on auth.users insert, however it gives back a generic error message "Database error saving new user". This was probably done for security reasons, but it would be nice to somehow add custom error messages.

I'm currently planning to write a Deno wrapper function around the signUpWithPassword() function to handle validations.
