How to use

  1. You will have to use the EmailPasswordComponentsOverrideProvider component as shown below. make sure that it render the SuperTokens components inside this component.
  2. Pick a component that you'd like to override by its key.
  3. Supply a React component against the key you have picked. Your custom component will get the original component as a prop.

Please make sure that the file in which this config is specified is a .tsx or .jsx file type.

Finding which component will be overridden#

To do that, you should use React Developer Tools extension which provides a component tree inspector.

Example#

Checking which component from the prebuilt UI will be overridden using React Developer Tools extension
  1. Look for the names defined in component override config and/or components ending in _Override in the component tree.
  2. Ensure that's the component you want to override
  3. Overide the component as stated above.

How do I render the original component#

Because the override function receives the original component as a parameter, you can render it. To do this, simply use it in JSX. Don't forget to supply original props by spreading them.

import React from "react";

const customComponent = ({ DefaultComponent, ...props }: { DefaultComponent: React.ComponentType }) => {
    return (
        <>
            <h1>I'm a header that you added above original component</h1>
            <DefaultComponent {...props} />
        </>
    )
}
