  1. Any luck getting any of the salting/hashing libraries ie bcrypt or argon2 with Sveltekit and vercel? works in dev but can’t get any hashing library working in prod with the adapter.

    1. Are they ESM modules? I have problem using CommonJS modules like ‘pg’ with Vercel or Netlify but the adapter for Node.js works for me. Another option might be to let the database handle the encryption?

  2. I’m not that good in JS and such yet but why are you using Promise.. in your unctions? You’re using a feww awaits but not promsies for checking if something is resolved, pending or such. Coudln’t you jsut replace them with true/false instead?

    1. Can you point me to an exact place in the code that isn’t clear to you?

      In general await is just syntactic sugar in JS. It allows you to write your code like it would be synchronous. With await you are literally awaiting the promise. It can be used instead of .then(). And it allows you to surround it with try-catch instead of using .catch()

      In src/routes/api/_db.js I just add promise to mimic asynchronous calls to a DB or other services.

  3. goto() won’t work either for me. Another solution would be to set the session via ‘$app/stores’ right after successfully logged in, then you can call goto function. User object should matched the same one loaded from getSession btw. What do you think about this approach?

    1. That might work.

      I plan on updating the repo to the latest SvelteKit version in a bit and I’ll have a look at that redirect part again. I’ll give an update here if it’s done.

      1. In my app, I found that goto works but does not cause the session to be reevaluated. I ended up doing that manually in my app

        const rs = await fetch(“api/auth”, { method: “POST”, body, headers });
        if (rs.ok) {
        const user = await rs.json();
        // Load user info into session.
        session.set({ authenticated: true, user });
        goto(“/”);
        }
