How to use redirectTo with Convex Auth with Discord
I managed to get it running like this:
In convex auth:
In another project:
I had to ensure they were both using the exact same version of convex because otherwise I ran into tons of typescript errors. And I have to
bun run build convex auth each time I make a change for my other project to see it. Is there a way to get it to watch and build continuously?
Anyway, implementing this change is proving to be difficult because convex auth relies more on cookies than I expected. I can't rely on cookies if I'm initiating authentication from a button in discord.
I have a few options:
* Switch to Clerk. Maybe it will support discord authentication buttons without cookies?
* Link directly to my app and then initiate signIn automatically, redirecting to the Discord UI and using the cookie way of doing it. This is better if you're already signed in to discord in your browser, since it can bypass it entirely if you're already in, but in the case where you're not logged in or are logged in as the wrong user it's worse, since hitting the button in discord gets you most of the way there immediately.
* Modify Convex Auth to work even if the state is passed in from the state parameter and not by consulting cookies.
Should the cookie-based state behavior still even exist? Is it better to replace it by always piping all the props through the state param? I noticed that even if it is using cookies, it can use the state param for something if you activate that in checks...8 replies

How to use redirectTo with Convex Auth with Discord
I'm having trouble setting up convex auth for development in a way where convex sees my changes. Is there documentation on this?

Looks like it's a private field.

Porting it to SubtleCrypto worked. Thanks!

`use node` Convex Auth provider
I'm using a library that uses node's crypto library. I suppose I could fork it.

It is if I use Clerk though

that seems really unnecessary and would be slower than not doing an extra query

`tsc -b` fails because @convex/_generated references server side code
oh, I was told that I should put the shared code inside the convex directory. Does convex still work if it references code outside its directory? I guess it must, since it can use node_modules...
