title: Accessing the configuration
---
Whenever you start a Wasp app, you are starting two processes.
- **The client process** - A React app that implements your app's frontend.
During development, this is a dev server with hot reloading. In production,
it's a simple process that serves pre-built static files with environment variables
embedded during the build (details depend on [how you deploy
it](/docs/advanced/deployment/overview)).
- **The server process** - An Express server that implements your app's backend.
During development, this is an Express server controlled by a
[`nodemon`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodemon) process that takes care of
hot reloading and restarts. In production, it's a regular Express server run
using Node.
Check [the introduction](/docs) for a more in-depth explanation of Wasp's runtime architecture.
You can configure both processes through environment variables. See [the
deployment instructions](/docs/advanced/deployment/manually#environment-variables) for a full list
of supported variables.
Wasp gives you runtime access to the processes' configurations through **configuration objects**.
## Server configuration object
The server configuration object contains these fields:
- `frontendUrl: String` - Set it with env var `WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL`.
The URL of your client (the app's frontend).<br/>
Wasp automatically sets it during development when you run `wasp start`.<br/>
In production, you should set it to your client's URL as the server sees it
(i.e., with the DNS and proxies considered).
You can access it like this:
```js
import { config } from 'wasp/server'
console.log(config.frontendUrl)
```
## Client configuration object
The client configuration object contains these fields:
- `apiUrl: String` - Set it with env var `REACT_APP_API_URL`
The URL of your server (the app's backend).<br/>
Wasp automatically sets it during development when you run `wasp start`.<br/>
In production, it should contain the value of your server's URL as the user's browser
sees it (i.e., with the DNS and proxies considered).
You can access it like this:
```js
import { config } from 'wasp/client'
console.log(config.apiUrl)
```

title: Custom HTTP API Endpoints
---
import { ShowForTs, ShowForJs } from '@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers'
import { Required } from '@site/src/components/Tag'
In Wasp, the default client-server interaction mechanism is through [Operations](../data-model/operations/overview). However, if you need a specific URL method/path, or a specific response, Operations may not be suitable for you. For these cases, you can use an `api`. Best of all, they should look and feel very familiar.
## How to Create an API
APIs are used to tie a JS function to a certain endpoint e.g. `POST /something/special`. They are distinct from Operations and have no client-side helpers (like `useQuery`).
To create a Wasp API, you must:
1. Declare the API in Wasp using the `api` declaration
2. Define the API's NodeJS implementation
After completing these two steps, you'll be able to call the API from the client code (via our `Axios` wrapper), or from the outside world.
### Declaring the API in Wasp
First, we need to declare the API in the Wasp file and you can easily do this with the `api` declaration:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
api fooBar { // APIs and their implementations don't need to (but can) have the same name.
fn: import { fooBar } from "@src/apis",
httpRoute: (GET, "/foo/bar")
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
api fooBar { // APIs and their implementations don't need to (but can) have the same name.
fn: import { fooBar } from "@src/apis",
httpRoute: (GET, "/foo/bar")
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Read more about the supported fields in the [API Reference](#api-reference).
### Defining the API's NodeJS Implementation
<ShowForTs>
:::note
To make sure the Wasp compiler generates the types for APIs for use in the NodeJS implementation, you should add your `api` declarations to your `.wasp` file first _and_ keep the `wasp start` command running.
:::
</ShowForTs>
After you defined the API, it should be implemented as a NodeJS function that takes three arguments:
1. `req`: Express Request object
2. `res`: Express Response object
3. `context`: An additional context object **injected into the API by Wasp**. This object contains user session information, as well as information about entities. The examples here won't use the context for simplicity purposes. You can read more about it in the [section about using entities in APIs](#using-entities-in-apis).
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```ts title="src/apis.js"
export const fooBar = (req, res, context) => {
res.set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*"); // Example of modifying headers to override Wasp default CORS middleware.
res.json({ msg: `Hello, ${context.user ? "registered user" : "stranger"}!` });
};
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/apis.ts"
import { FooBar } from "wasp/server/api"; // This type is generated by Wasp based on the `api` declaration above.
export const fooBar: FooBar = (req, res, context) => {
res.set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*"); // Example of modifying headers to override Wasp default CORS middleware.
res.json({ msg: `Hello, ${context.user ? "registered user" : "stranger"}!` });
};
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
<ShowForTs>
#### Providing Extra Type Information
We'll see how we can provide extra type information to an API function.
Let's say you wanted to create some `GET` route that would take an email address as a param, and provide them the answer to "Life, the Universe and Everything." 😀 What would this look like in TypeScript?
Define the API in Wasp:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
api fooBar {
fn: import { fooBar } from "@src/apis",
entities: [Task],
httpRoute: (GET, "/foo/bar/:email")
}
```
We can use the `FooBar` type to which we'll provide the generic **params** and **response** types, which then gives us full type safety in the implementation.
```ts title="src/apis.ts"
import { FooBar } from "wasp/server/api";
export const fooBar: FooBar<
{ email: string }, // params
{ answer: number } // response
> = (req, res, _context) => {
console.log(req.params.email);
res.json({ answer: 42 });
};
```
</ShowForTs>
## Using the API
### Using the API externally
To use the API externally, you simply call the endpoint using the method and path you used.
For example, if your app is running at `https://example.com` then from the above you could issue a `GET` to `https://example/com/foo/callback` (in your browser, Postman, `curl`, another web service, etc.).
### Using the API from the Client
To use the API from your client, including with auth support, you can import the Axios wrapper from `wasp/client/api` and invoke a call. For example:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/pages/SomePage.jsx"
import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import { api } from "wasp/client/api";
async function fetchCustomRoute() {
const res = await api.get("/foo/bar");
console.log(res.data);
}
export const Foo = () => {
useEffect(() => {
fetchCustomRoute();
}, []);
return <>// ...</>;
};
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/pages/SomePage.tsx"
import React, { useEffect } from "react";
import { api } from "wasp/client/api";
async function fetchCustomRoute() {
const res = await api.get("/foo/bar");
console.log(res.data);
}
export const Foo = () => {
useEffect(() => {
fetchCustomRoute();
}, []);
return <>// ...</>;
};
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
#### Making Sure CORS Works
APIs are designed to be as flexible as possible, hence they don't utilize the default middleware like Operations do. As a result, to use these APIs on the client side, you must ensure that CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) is enabled.
You can do this by defining custom middleware for your APIs in the Wasp file.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
For example, an `apiNamespace` is a simple declaration used to apply some `middlewareConfigFn` to all APIs under some specific path:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
apiNamespace fooBar {
middlewareConfigFn: import { fooBarNamespaceMiddlewareFn } from "@src/apis",
path: "/foo"
}
```
And then in the implementation file:
```js title="src/apis.js"
export const apiMiddleware = (config) => {
return config;
};
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
For example, an `apiNamespace` is a simple declaration used to apply some `middlewareConfigFn` to all APIs under some specific path:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
apiNamespace fooBar {
middlewareConfigFn: import { fooBarNamespaceMiddlewareFn } from "@src/apis",
path: "/foo"
}
```
And then in the implementation file (returning the default config):
```ts title="src/apis.ts"
import { MiddlewareConfigFn } from "wasp/server";
export const apiMiddleware: MiddlewareConfigFn = (config) => {
return config;
};
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
We are returning the default middleware which enables CORS for all APIs under the `/foo` path.
For more information about middleware configuration, please see: [Middleware Configuration](../advanced/middleware-config)
## Using Entities in APIs
In many cases, resources used in APIs will be [Entities](../data-model/entities.md).
To use an Entity in your API, add it to the `api` declaration in Wasp:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp {3} title="main.wasp"
api fooBar {
fn: import { fooBar } from "@src/apis",
entities: [Task],
httpRoute: (GET, "/foo/bar")
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp {3} title="main.wasp"
api fooBar {
fn: import { fooBar } from "@src/apis",
entities: [Task],
httpRoute: (GET, "/foo/bar")
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Wasp will inject the specified Entity into the APIs `context` argument, giving you access to the Entity's Prisma API:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```ts title="src/apis.js"
export const fooBar = (req, res, context) => {
res.json({ count: await context.entities.Task.count() });
};
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/apis.ts"
import { FooBar } from "wasp/server/api";
export const fooBar: FooBar = (req, res, context) => {
res.json({ count: await context.entities.Task.count() });
};
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The object `context.entities.Task` exposes `prisma.task` from [Prisma's CRUD API](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-client/crud).
## API Reference
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
api fooBar {
fn: import { fooBar } from "@src/apis",
httpRoute: (GET, "/foo/bar"),
entities: [Task],
auth: true,
middlewareConfigFn: import { apiMiddleware } from "@src/apis"
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
api fooBar {
fn: import { fooBar } from "@src/apis",
httpRoute: (GET, "/foo/bar"),
entities: [Task],
auth: true,
middlewareConfigFn: import { apiMiddleware } from "@src/apis"
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The `api` declaration has the following fields:
- `fn: ExtImport` <Required />
The import statement of the APIs NodeJs implementation.
- `httpRoute: (HttpMethod, string)` <Required />
The HTTP (method, path) pair, where the method can be one of:
- `ALL`, `GET`, `POST`, `PUT` or `DELETE`
- and path is an Express path `string`.
- `entities: [Entity]`
A list of entities you wish to use inside your API. You can read more about it [here](#using-entities-in-apis).
- `auth: bool`
If auth is enabled, this will default to `true` and provide a `context.user` object. If you do not wish to attempt to parse the JWT in the Authorization Header, you should set this to `false`.
- `middlewareConfigFn: ExtImport`
The import statement to an Express middleware config function for this API. See more in [middleware section](../advanced/middleware-config) of the docs.

title: Deploying with the Wasp CLI
---
import { Required } from '@site/src/components/Tag';
Wasp CLI can deploy your full-stack application with only a single command.
The command automates the manual deployment process and is the recommended way of deploying Wasp apps.
## Supported Providers
Wasp supports automated deployment to the following providers:
- [Fly.io](#flyio) - they offer 5$ free credit each month
- Railway (coming soon, track it here [#1157](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/pull/1157))
## Fly.io
### Prerequisites
Fly provides [free allowances](https://fly.io/docs/about/pricing/#plans) for up to 3 VMs (so deploying a Wasp app to a new account is free), but all plans require you to add your credit card information before you can proceed. If you don't, the deployment will fail.
You can add the required credit card information on the [account's billing page](https://fly.io/dashboard/personal/billing).
:::info Fly.io CLI
You will need the [`flyctl` CLI](https://fly.io/docs/hands-on/install-flyctl/) installed on your machine before you can deploy to Fly.io.
:::
### Deploying
Using the Wasp CLI, you can easily deploy a new app to [Fly.io](https://fly.io) with just a single command:
```shell
wasp deploy fly launch my-wasp-app mia
```
:::caution Specifying Org
If your account is a member of more than one organization on Fly.io, you will need to specify under which one you want to execute the command. To do that, provide an additional `--org <org-slug>` option. You can find out the names(slugs) of your organizations by running `fly orgs list`.
:::
<small>
Please do not CTRL-C or exit your terminal while the commands are running.
</small>
Under the covers, this runs the equivalent of the following commands:
```shell
wasp deploy fly setup my-wasp-app mia
wasp deploy fly create-db mia
wasp deploy fly deploy
```
The commands above use the app basename `my-wasp-app` and deploy it to the _Miami, Florida (US) region_ (called `mia`). Read more about Fly.io regions [here](#flyio-regions).
:::caution Unique Name
Your app name must be unique across all of Fly or deployment will fail.
:::
The basename is used to create all three app tiers, resulting in three separate apps in your Fly dashboard:
- `my-wasp-app-client`
- `my-wasp-app-server`
- `my-wasp-app-db`
You'll notice that Wasp creates two new files in your project root directory:
- `fly-server.toml`
- `fly-client.toml`
You should include these files in your version control so that you can deploy your app with a single command in the future.
### Using a Custom Domain For Your App
Setting up a custom domain is a three-step process:
1. You need to add your domain to your Fly client app. You can do this by running:
```shell
wasp deploy fly cmd --context client certs create mycoolapp.com
```
:::note Use Your Domain
Make sure to replace `mycoolapp.com` with your domain in all of the commands mentioned in this section.
:::
This command will output the instructions to add the DNS records to your domain. It will look something like this:
```shell-session
You can direct traffic to mycoolapp.com by:
1: Adding an A record to your DNS service which reads
A @ 66.241.1XX.154
You can validate your ownership of mycoolapp.com by:
2: Adding an AAAA record to your DNS service which reads:
AAAA @ 2a09:82XX:1::1:ff40
```
2. You need to add the DNS records for your domain:
_This will depend on your domain provider, but it should be a matter of adding an A record for `@` and an AAAA record for `@` with the values provided by the previous command._
3. You need to set your domain as the `WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL` environment variable for your server app:
```shell
wasp deploy fly cmd --context server secrets set WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL=https://mycoolapp.com
```
<small>
We need to do this to keep our CORS configuration up to date.
</small>
That's it, your app should be available at `https://mycoolapp.com`! 🎉
## API Reference
### `launch`
`launch` is a convenience command that runs `setup`, `create-db`, and `deploy` in sequence.
```shell
wasp deploy fly launch <app-name> <region>
```
It accepts the following arguments:
- `<app-name>` - the name of your app <Required />
- `<region>` - the region where your app will be deployed <Required />
Read how to find the available regions [here](#flyio-regions).
It gives you the same result as running the following commands:
```shell
wasp deploy fly setup <app-name> <region>
wasp deploy fly create-db <region>
wasp deploy fly deploy
```
#### Environment Variables
If you are deploying an app that requires any other environment variables (like social auth secrets), you can set them with the `--server-secret` option:
```
wasp deploy fly launch my-wasp-app mia --server-secret GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=<...> --server-secret GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=<...>
```
### `setup`
`setup` will create your client and server apps on Fly, and add some secrets, but does _not_ deploy them.
```shell
wasp deploy fly setup <app-name> <region>
```
It accepts the following arguments:
- `<app-name>` - the name of your app <Required />
- `<region>` - the region where your app will be deployed <Required />
Read how to find the available regions [here](#flyio-regions).
After running `setup`, Wasp creates two new files in your project root directory: `fly-server.toml` and `fly-client.toml`.
You should include these files in your version control.
You **can edit the `fly-server.toml` and `fly-client.toml` files** to further configure your Fly deployments. Wasp will use the TOML files when you run `deploy`.
If you want to maintain multiple apps, you can add the `--fly-toml-dir <abs-path>` option to point to different directories, like "dev" or "staging".
:::caution Execute Only Once
You should only run `setup` once per app. If you run it multiple times, it will create unnecessary apps on Fly.
:::
### `create-db`
`create-db` will create a new database for your app.
```shell
wasp deploy fly create-db <region>
```
It accepts the following arguments:
- `<region>` - the region where your app will be deployed <Required />
Read how to find the available regions [here](#flyio-regions).
:::caution Execute Only Once
You should only run `create-db` once per app. If you run it multiple times, it will create multiple databases, but your app needs only one.
:::
### `deploy`
```shell
wasp deploy fly deploy
```
`deploy` pushes your client and server live.
Run this command whenever you want to **update your deployed app** with the latest changes:
```shell
wasp deploy fly deploy
```
### `cmd`
If want to run arbitrary Fly commands (e.g. `flyctl secrets list` for your server app), here's how to do it:
```shell
wasp deploy fly cmd secrets list --context server
```
### Fly.io Regions
> Fly.io runs applications physically close to users: in datacenters around the world, on servers we run ourselves. You can currently deploy your apps in 34 regions, connected to a global Anycast network that makes sure your users hit our nearest server, whether theyre in Tokyo, São Paolo, or Frankfurt.
<small>
Read more on Fly regions [here](https://fly.io/docs/reference/regions/).
</small>
You can find the list of all available Fly regions by running:
```shell
flyctl platform regions
```
#### Environment Variables
If you are deploying an app that requires any other environment variables (like social auth secrets), you can set them with the `secrets set` command:
```
wasp deploy fly cmd secrets set GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=<...> GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=<...> --context=server
```
### Multiple Fly Organizations
If you have multiple organizations, you can specify a `--org` option. For example:
```shell
wasp deploy fly launch my-wasp-app mia --org hive
```
### Building Locally
Fly.io offers support for both **locally** built Docker containers and **remotely** built ones. However, for simplicity and reproducibility, the CLI defaults to the use of a remote Fly.io builder.
If you want to build locally, supply the `--build-locally` option to `wasp deploy fly launch` or `wasp deploy fly deploy`.

import AddExternalAuthEnvVarsReminder from './\_addExternalAuthEnvVarsReminder.md'
import BuildingTheWebClient from './\_building-the-web-client.md'
import { Required } from '@site/src/components/Tag'
This document explains how to build and prepare your Wasp app for deployment.
You can then deploy the built Wasp app wherever and however you want, as long as your provider/server
supports Wasp's build format.
After going through the general steps that apply to all deployments, you can
follow step-by-step guides for deploying your Wasp app to the most popular
providers:
- [Fly.io](#flyio)
- [Netlify](#netlify)
- [Railway](#railway)
- [Heroku](#heroku)
No worries, you can still deploy your app if your desired provider isn't on the
list - it just means we don't yet have a step-by-step guide for you to follow.
Feel free to [open a
PR](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/edit/release/web/docs/advanced/deployment/manually.md)
if you'd like to write one yourself :)
## Deploying a Wasp App
Deploying a Wasp app comes down to the following:
1. Generating deployable code.
1. Deploying the API server (backend).
1. Deploying the web client (frontend).
1. Deploying a PostgreSQL database and keeping it running.
Let's go through each of these steps.
### 1. Generating Deployable Code
Running the command `wasp build` generates deployable code for the whole app in the `.wasp/build/` directory.
```
wasp build
```
:::caution PostgreSQL in production
You won't be able to build the app if you are using SQLite as a database (which is the default database).
You'll have to [switch to PostgreSQL](../../data-model/backends#migrating-from-sqlite-to-postgresql) before deploying to production.
:::
### 2. Deploying the API Server (backend)
There's a Dockerfile that defines an image for building the server in the `.wasp/build` directory.
To run the server in production, deploy this Docker image to a hosting provider and ensure the required environment variables on the provider are correctly set up (the mechanism of setting these up is specific per provider).
All necessary environment variables are listed in the next section.
#### Environment Variables
Here are the environment variables your server will be looking for:
- `DATABASE_URL` <Required />
The URL of the PostgreSQL database you want your app to use (e.g., `postgresql://mydbuser:mypass@localhost:5432/nameofmydb`).
- `WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL` <Required />
The URL where you plan to deploy your frontend app is running (e.g., `https://<app-name>.netlify.app`).
The server needs to know about it to properly configure Same-Origin Policy (CORS) headers.
- `WASP_SERVER_URL` <Required />
The URL where the server is running (e.g., `https://<app-name>.fly.dev`).
The server needs it to properly redirect users when logging in with OAuth providers like Google or GitHub.
- `JWT_SECRET` (<Required /> if using Wasp Auth)
You only need this environment variable if you're using Wasp's `auth` features.
Set it to a random string at least 32 characters long (you can use an [online generator](https://djecrety.ir/)).
- `PORT`
The server's HTTP port number. This is where the server listens for requests (default: `3001`).
<AddExternalAuthEnvVarsReminder />
While these are the general instructions on deploying the server anywhere, we also have more detailed instructions for chosen providers below, so check that out for more guidance if you are deploying to one of those providers.
### 3. Deploying the Web Client (frontend)
<BuildingTheWebClient />
The command above will build the web client and put it in the `build/` directory in the `web-app` directory.
Since the app's frontend is just a bunch of static files, you can deploy it to any static hosting provider.
### 4. Deploying the Database
Any PostgreSQL database will do, as long as you provide the server with the correct `DATABASE_URL` env var and ensure that the database is accessible from the server.
## Different Providers
We'll cover a few different deployment providers below:
- Fly.io (server and database)
- Netlify (client)
- Railway (server, client and database)
- Heroku (server and database)
## Fly.io (server and database)
We will show how to deploy the server and provision a database for it on Fly.io.
:::tip We automated this process for you
If you want to do all of the work below with one command, you can use the [Wasp CLI](../../advanced/deployment/cli#flyio).
Wasp CLI deploys the server, deploys the client, and sets up a database.
It also gives you a way to redeploy (update) your app with a single command.
:::
Fly.io offers a variety of free services that are perfect for deploying your first Wasp app! You will need a Fly.io account and the [`flyctl` CLI](https://fly.io/docs/hands-on/install-flyctl/).
:::note
Fly.io offers support for both locally built Docker containers and remotely built ones. However, for simplicity and reproducibility, we will default to the use of a remote Fly.io builder.
Additionally, `fly` is a symlink for `flyctl` on most systems and they can be used interchangeably.
:::
Make sure you are logged in with `flyctl` CLI. You can check if you are logged in with `flyctl auth whoami`, and if you are not, you can log in with `flyctl auth login`.
### Set Up a Fly.io App
:::info
You need to do this only once per Wasp app.
:::
Unless you already have a Fly.io app that you want to deploy to, let's create a new Fly.io app.
After you have [built the app](#1-generating-deployable-code), position yourself in `.wasp/build/` directory:
```shell
cd .wasp/build
```
Next, run the launch command to set up a new app and create a `fly.toml` file:
```bash
flyctl launch --remote-only
```
This will ask you a series of questions, such as asking you to choose a region and whether you'd like a database.
- Say **yes** to **Would you like to set up a PostgreSQL database now?** and select **Development**. Fly.io will set a `DATABASE_URL` for you.
- Say **no** to **Would you like to deploy now?** (and to any additional questions).
We still need to set up several environment variables.
:::info What if the database setup fails?
If your attempts to initiate a new app fail for whatever reason, then you should run `flyctl apps destroy <app-name>` before trying again. Fly does not allow you to create multiple apps with the same name.
<details>
<summary>
What does it look like when your DB is deployed correctly?
</summary>
<div>
<p>When your DB is deployed correctly, you'll see it in the <a href="https://fly.io/dashboard">Fly.io dashboard</a>:</p>
<img width="662" alt="image" src="/img/deploying/fly-db.png" />
</div>
</details>
:::
Next, let's copy the `fly.toml` file up to our Wasp project dir for safekeeping.
```shell
cp fly.toml ../../
```
Next, let's add a few more environment variables:
```bash
flyctl secrets set PORT=8080
flyctl secrets set JWT_SECRET=<random_string_at_least_32_characters_long>
flyctl secrets set WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL=<url_of_where_client_will_be_deployed>
flyctl secrets set WASP_SERVER_URL=<url_of_where_server_will_be_deployed>
```
:::note
If you do not know what your client URL is yet, don't worry. You can set `WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL` after you deploy your client.
:::
<AddExternalAuthEnvVarsReminder />
If you want to make sure you've added your secrets correctly, run `flyctl secrets list` in the terminal. Note that you will see hashed versions of your secrets to protect your sensitive data.
### Deploy to a Fly.io App
While still in the `.wasp/build/` directory, run:
```bash
flyctl deploy --remote-only --config ../../fly.toml
```
This will build and deploy the backend of your Wasp app on Fly.io to `https://<app-name>.fly.dev` 🤘🎸
Now, if you haven't, you can deploy your client and add the client URL by running `flyctl secrets set WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL=<url_of_deployed_client>`. We suggest using [Netlify](#netlify) for your client, but you can use any static hosting provider.
Additionally, some useful `flyctl` commands:
```bash
flyctl logs
flyctl secrets list
flyctl ssh console
```
### Redeploying After Wasp Builds
When you rebuild your Wasp app (with `wasp build`), it will remove your `.wasp/build/` directory. In there, you may have a `fly.toml` from any prior Fly.io deployments.
While we will improve this process in the future, in the meantime, you have a few options:
1. Copy the `fly.toml` file to a versioned directory, like your Wasp project dir.
From there, you can reference it in `flyctl deploy --config <path>` commands, like above.
1. Backup the `fly.toml` file somewhere before running `wasp build`, and copy it into .wasp/build/ after.
When the `fly.toml` file exists in .wasp/build/ dir, you do not need to specify the `--config <path>`.
1. Run `flyctl config save -a <app-name>` to regenerate the `fly.toml` file from the remote state stored in Fly.io.
## Netlify (client)
We'll show how to deploy the client on Netlify.
Netlify is a static hosting solution that is free for many use cases. You will need a Netlify account and [Netlify CLI](https://docs.netlify.com/cli/get-started/) installed to follow these instructions.
Make sure you are logged in with Netlify CLI. You can check if you are logged in with `netlify status`, and if you are not, you can log in with `netlify login`.
First, make sure you have [built the Wasp app](#1-generating-deployable-code). We'll build the client web app next.
<BuildingTheWebClient />
We can now deploy the client with:
```shell
netlify deploy
```
<small>
Carefully follow the instructions i.e. do you want to create a new app or use an existing one, the team under which your app will reside etc.
</small>
The final step is to run:
```shell
netlify deploy --prod`
```
That is it! Your client should be live at `https://<app-name>.netlify.app`
:::note
Make sure you set this URL as the `WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL` environment variable in your server hosting environment (e.g., Fly.io or Heroku).
:::
## Railway (server, client and database)
We will show how to deploy the client, the server, and provision a database on Railway.
Railway is a simple and great way to host your server and database. It's also possible to deploy your entire app: database, server, and client. You can use the platform for free for a limited time, or if you meet certain eligibility requirements. See their [plans page](https://docs.railway.app/reference/plans) for more info.
### Prerequisites
To get started, follow these steps:
1. Make sure your Wasp app is built by running `wasp build` in the project dir.
2. Create a [Railway](https://railway.app/) account
:::tip Free Tier
Sign up with your GitHub account to be eligible for the free tier
:::
3. Install the [Railway CLI](https://docs.railway.app/develop/cli#installation)
4. Run `railway login` and a browser tab will open to authenticate you.
### Create New Project
Let's create our Railway project:
1. Go to your [Railway dashboard](https://railway.app/dashboard), click on **New Project**, and select `Provision PostgreSQL` from the dropdown menu.
2. Once it initializes, right-click on the **New** button in the top right corner and select **Empty Service**.
3. Once it initializes, click on it, go to **Settings > General** and change the name to `server`
4. Go ahead and create another empty service and name it `client`
![Changing the name](/img/deploying/railway-rename.png)
### Deploy Your App to Railway
#### Setup Domains
We'll need the domains for both the `server` and `client` services:
1. Go to the `server` instance's `Settings` tab, and click `Generate Domain`.
2. Do the same under the `client`'s `Settings`.
Copy the domains as we will need them later.
#### Deploying the Server
Let's deploy our server first:
1. Move into your app's `.wasp/build/` directory:
```shell
cd .wasp/build
```
2. Link your app build to your newly created Railway project:
```shell
railway link
```
3. Go into the Railway dashboard and set up the required env variables:
Open the `Settings` and go to the `Variables` tab:
- click **Variable reference** and select `DATABASE_URL` (it will populate it with the correct value)
- add `WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL` - enter the `client` domain (e.g. `https://client-production-XXXX.up.railway.app`)
- add `WASP_SERVER_URL` - enter the `server` domain (e.g. `https://server-production-XXXX.up.railway.app`)
- add `JWT_SECRET` - enter a random string at least 32 characters long (use an [online generator](https://djecrety.ir/))
<AddExternalAuthEnvVarsReminder />
4. Push and deploy the project:
```shell
railway up
```
Select `server` when prompted with `Select Service`.
Railway will now locate the Dockerfile and deploy your server 👍
#### Deploying the Client
1. Next, change into your app's frontend build directory `.wasp/build/web-app`:
```shell
cd web-app
```
2. Create the production build, using the `server` domain as the `REACT_APP_API_URL`:
```shell
npm install && REACT_APP_API_URL=<url_to_wasp_backend> npm run build
```
3. Next, we want to link this specific frontend directory to our project as well:
```shell
railway link
```
4. We need to configure Railway's static hosting for our client.
:::info Setting Up Static Hosting
Copy the `build` folder within the `web-app` directory to `dist`:
```shell
cp -r build dist
```
We'll need to create the following files:
- `Dockerfile` with:
```Dockerfile title="Dockerfile"
FROM pierrezemb/gostatic
CMD [ "-fallback", "index.html" ]
COPY ./dist/ /srv/http/
```
- `.dockerignore` with:
```bash title=".dockerignore"
node_modules/
```
You'll need to repeat these steps **each time** you run `wasp build` as it will remove the `.wasp/build/web-app` directory.
<details>
<summary>
Here's a useful shell script to do the process
</summary>
If you want to automate the process, save the following as `deploy_client.sh` in the root of your project:
```bash title="deploy_client.sh"
#!/usr/bin/env bash
if [ -z "$REACT_APP_API_URL" ]
then
echo "REACT_APP_API_URL is not set"
exit 1
fi
wasp build
cd .wasp/build/web-app
npm install && REACT_APP_API_URL=$REACT_APP_API_URL npm run build
cp -r build dist
dockerfile_contents=$(cat <<EOF
FROM pierrezemb/gostatic
CMD [ "-fallback", "index.html" ]
COPY ./dist/ /srv/http/
EOF
)
dockerignore_contents=$(cat <<EOF
node_modules/
EOF
)
echo "$dockerfile_contents" > Dockerfile
echo "$dockerignore_contents" > .dockerignore
railway up
```
Make it executable with:
```shell
chmod +x deploy_client.sh
```
You can run it with:
```shell
REACT_APP_API_URL=<url_to_wasp_backend> ./deploy_client.sh
```
</details>
:::
5. Set the `PORT` environment variable to `8043` under the `Variables` tab.
6. Deploy the client and select `client` when prompted with `Select Service`:
```shell
railway up
```
#### Conclusion
And now your Wasp should be deployed! 🐝 🚂 🚀
Back in your [Railway dashboard](https://railway.app/dashboard), click on your project and you should see your newly deployed services: PostgreSQL, Server, and Client.
### Updates & Redeploying
When you make updates and need to redeploy:
- run `wasp build` to rebuild your app
- run `railway up` in the `.wasp/build` directory (server)
- repeat all the steps in the `.wasp/build/web-app` directory (client)
## Heroku (server and database)
We will show how to deploy the server and provision a database for it on Heroku.
:::note
Heroku used to offer free apps under certain limits. However, as of November 28, 2022, they ended support for their free tier. https://blog.heroku.com/next-chapter
As such, we recommend using an alternative provider like [Fly.io](#flyio) for your first apps.
:::
You will need Heroku account, `heroku` [CLI](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli) and `docker` CLI installed to follow these instructions.
Make sure you are logged in with `heroku` CLI. You can check if you are logged in with `heroku whoami`, and if you are not, you can log in with `heroku login`.
### Set Up a Heroku App
:::info
You need to do this only once per Wasp app.
:::
Unless you want to deploy to an existing Heroku app, let's create a new Heroku app:
```
heroku create <app-name>
```
Unless you have an external PostgreSQL database that you want to use, let's create a new database on Heroku and attach it to our app:
```
heroku addons:create --app <app-name> heroku-postgresql:mini
```
:::caution
Heroku does not offer a free plan anymore and `mini` is their cheapest database instance - it costs $5/mo.
:::
Heroku will also set `DATABASE_URL` env var for us at this point. If you are using an external database, you will have to set it up yourself.
The `PORT` env var will also be provided by Heroku, so the ones left to set are the `JWT_SECRET`, `WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL` and `WASP_SERVER_URL` env vars:
```
heroku config:set --app <app-name> JWT_SECRET=<random_string_at_least_32_characters_long>
heroku config:set --app <app-name> WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL=<url_of_where_client_will_be_deployed>
heroku config:set --app <app-name> WASP_SERVER_URL=<url_of_where_server_will_be_deployed>
```
:::note
If you do not know what your client URL is yet, don't worry. You can set `WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL` after you deploy your client.
:::
### Deploy to a Heroku App
After you have [built the app](#1-generating-deployable-code), position yourself in `.wasp/build/` directory:
```shell
cd .wasp/build
```
assuming you were at the root of your Wasp project at that moment.
Log in to Heroku Container Registry:
```shell
heroku container:login
```
Build the docker image and push it to Heroku:
```shell
heroku container:push --app <app-name> web
```
App is still not deployed at this point.
This step might take some time, especially the very first time, since there are no cached docker layers.
:::note Note for Apple Silicon Users
Apple Silicon users need to build a non-Arm image, so the above step will not work at this time. Instead of `heroku container:push`, users instead should:
```shell
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t <app-name> .
docker tag <app-name> registry.heroku.com/<app-name>/web
docker push registry.heroku.com/<app-name>/web
```
You are now ready to proceed to the next step.
:::
Deploy the pushed image and restart the app:
```shell
heroku container:release --app <app-name> web
```
This is it, the backend is deployed at `https://<app-name>-XXXX.herokuapp.com` 🎉
Find out the exact app URL with:
```shell
heroku info --app <app-name>
```
Additionally, you can check out the logs with:
```shell
heroku logs --tail --app <app-name>
```
:::note Using `pg-boss` with Heroku
If you wish to deploy an app leveraging [Jobs](../../advanced/jobs) that use `pg-boss` as the executor to Heroku, you need to set an additional environment variable called `PG_BOSS_NEW_OPTIONS` to `{"connectionString":"<REGULAR_HEROKU_DATABASE_URL>","ssl":{"rejectUnauthorized":false}}`. This is because pg-boss uses the `pg` extension, which does not seem to connect to Heroku over SSL by default, which Heroku requires. Additionally, Heroku uses a self-signed cert, so we must handle that as well.

title: Overview
---
import { DeploymentOptionsGrid } from './DeploymentOptionsGrid.tsx';
Wasp apps are full-stack apps that consist of:
- A Node.js server.
- A static client.
- A PostgreSQL database.
You can deploy each part **anywhere** where you can usually deploy Node.js apps or static apps. For example, you can deploy your client on [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/), the server on [Fly.io](https://fly.io/), and the database on [Neon](https://neon.tech/).
To make deploying as smooth as possible, Wasp also offers a single-command deployment through the **Wasp CLI**.
<DeploymentOptionsGrid />
Regardless of how you choose to deploy your app (i.e., manually or using the Wasp CLI), you'll need to know about some common patterns covered below.
## Customizing the Dockerfile
By default, Wasp generates a multi-stage Dockerfile.
This file is used to build and run a Docker image with the Wasp-generated server code.
It also runs any pending migrations.
You can **add extra steps to this multi-stage `Dockerfile`** by creating your own `Dockerfile` in the project's root directory.
If Wasp finds a Dockerfile in the project's root, it appends its contents at the _bottom_ of the default multi-stage Dockerfile.
Since the last definition in a Dockerfile wins, you can override or continue from any existing build stages.
You can also choose not to use any of our build stages and have your own custom Dockerfile used as-is.
A few things to keep in mind:
- If you override an intermediate build stage, no later build stages will be used unless you reproduce them below.
- The generated Dockerfile's content is dynamic and depends on which features your app uses. The content can also change in future releases, so please verify it from time to time.
- Make sure to supply `ENTRYPOINT` in your final build stage. Your changes won't have any effect if you don't.
Read more in the official Docker docs on [multi-stage builds](https://docs.docker.com/build/building/multi-stage/).
To see what your project's (potentially combined) Dockerfile will look like, run:
```shell
wasp dockerfile
```
Join our [Discord](https://discord.gg/rzdnErX) if you have any questions, or if you need more customization than this hook provides.

# Sending Emails
With Wasp's email-sending feature, you can easily integrate email functionality into your web application.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: <provider>,
defaultFrom: {
name: "Example",
email: "hello@itsme.com"
},
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: <provider>,
defaultFrom: {
name: "Example",
email: "hello@itsme.com"
},
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Choose from one of the providers:
- `Dummy` (development only),
- `Mailgun`,
- `SendGrid`
- or the good old `SMTP`.
Optionally, define the `defaultFrom` field, so you don't need to provide it whenever sending an email.
## Sending Emails
Before jumping into details about setting up various providers, let's see how easy it is to send emails.
You import the `emailSender` that is provided by the `wasp/server/email` module and call the `send` method on it.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/actions/sendEmail.js"
import { emailSender } from "wasp/server/email";
// In some action handler...
const info = await emailSender.send({
from: {
name: "John Doe",
email: "john@doe.com",
},
to: "user@domain.com",
subject: "Saying hello",
text: "Hello world",
html: "Hello <strong>world</strong>",
});
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/actions/sendEmail.ts"
import { emailSender } from "wasp/server/email";
// In some action handler...
const info = await emailSender.send({
from: {
name: "John Doe",
email: "john@doe.com",
},
to: "user@domain.com",
subject: "Saying hello",
text: "Hello world",
html: "Hello <strong>world</strong>",
});
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Read more about the `send` method in the [API Reference](#javascript-api).
The `send` method returns an object with the status of the sent email. It varies depending on the provider you use.
## Providers
We'll go over all of the available providers in the next section. For some of them, you'll need to set up some env variables. You can do that in the `.env.server` file.
### Using the Dummy Provider
<DummyProviderNote />
To speed up development, Wasp offers a `Dummy` email sender that `console.log`s the emails in the console. Since it doesn't send emails for real, it doesn't require any setup.
Set the provider to `Dummy` in your `main.wasp` file.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: Dummy,
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: Dummy,
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Using the SMTP Provider
First, set the provider to `SMTP` in your `main.wasp` file.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: SMTP,
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: SMTP,
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Then, add the following env variables to your `.env.server` file.
```properties title=".env.server"
SMTP_HOST=
SMTP_USERNAME=
SMTP_PASSWORD=
SMTP_PORT=
```
Many transactional email providers (e.g. Mailgun, SendGrid but also others) can also use SMTP, so you can use them as well.
### Using the Mailgun Provider
Set the provider to `Mailgun` in the `main.wasp` file.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: Mailgun,
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: Mailgun,
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Then, get the Mailgun API key and domain and add them to your `.env.server` file.
#### Getting the API Key and Domain
1. Go to [Mailgun](https://www.mailgun.com/) and create an account.
2. Go to [API Keys](https://app.mailgun.com/app/account/security/api_keys) and create a new API key.
3. Copy the API key and add it to your `.env.server` file.
4. Go to [Domains](https://app.mailgun.com/app/domains) and create a new domain.
5. Copy the domain and add it to your `.env.server` file.
```properties title=".env.server"
MAILGUN_API_KEY=
MAILGUN_DOMAIN=
```
### Using the SendGrid Provider
Set the provider field to `SendGrid` in your `main.wasp` file.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: SendGrid,
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: SendGrid,
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Then, get the SendGrid API key and add it to your `.env.server` file.
#### Getting the API Key
1. Go to [SendGrid](https://sendgrid.com/) and create an account.
2. Go to [API Keys](https://app.sendgrid.com/settings/api_keys) and create a new API key.
3. Copy the API key and add it to your `.env.server` file.
```properties title=".env.server"
SENDGRID_API_KEY=
```
## API Reference
### `emailSender` dict
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: <provider>,
defaultFrom: {
name: "Example",
email: "hello@itsme.com"
},
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app Example {
...
emailSender: {
provider: <provider>,
defaultFrom: {
name: "Example",
email: "hello@itsme.com"
},
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The `emailSender` dict has the following fields:
- `provider: Provider` <Required />
The provider you want to use. Choose from `Dummy`, `SMTP`, `Mailgun` or `SendGrid`.
<DummyProviderNote />
- `defaultFrom: dict`
The default sender's details. If you set this field, you don't need to provide the `from` field when sending an email.
### JavaScript API
Using the `emailSender` in <ShowForTs>Typescript</ShowForTs><ShowForJs>JavaScript</ShowForJs>:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/actions/sendEmail.js"
import { emailSender } from "wasp/server/email";
// In some action handler...
const info = await emailSender.send({
from: {
name: "John Doe",
email: "john@doe.com",
},
to: "user@domain.com",
subject: "Saying hello",
text: "Hello world",
html: "Hello <strong>world</strong>",
});
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/actions/sendEmail.ts"
import { emailSender } from "wasp/server/email";
// In some action handler...
const info = await emailSender.send({
from: {
name: "John Doe",
email: "john@doe.com",
},
to: "user@domain.com",
subject: "Saying hello",
text: "Hello world",
html: "Hello <strong>world</strong>",
});
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The `send` method accepts an object with the following fields:
- `from: object`
The sender's details. If you set up `defaultFrom` field in the `emailSender` dict in Wasp file, this field is optional.
- `name: string`
The name of the sender.
- `email: string`
The email address of the sender.
- `to: string` <Required />
The recipient's email address.
- `subject: string` <Required />
The subject of the email.
- `text: string` <Required />
The text version of the email.
- `html: string` <Required />
The HTML version of the email

In most web apps, users send requests to the server and receive responses with some data. When the server responds quickly, the app feels responsive and smooth.
What if the server needs extra time to fully process the request? This might mean sending an email or making a slow HTTP request to an external API. In that case, it's a good idea to respond to the user as soon as possible and do the remaining work in the background.
Wasp supports background jobs that can help you with this:
- Jobs persist between server restarts,
- Jobs can be retried if they fail,
- Jobs can be delayed until a future time,
- Jobs can have a recurring schedule.
## Using Jobs
### Job Definition and Usage
Let's write an example Job that will print a message to the console and return a list of tasks from the database.
1. Start by creating a Job declaration in your `.wasp` file:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
job mySpecialJob {
executor: PgBoss,
perform: {
fn: import { foo } from "@src/workers/bar"
},
entities: [Task],
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
job mySpecialJob {
executor: PgBoss,
perform: {
fn: import { foo } from "@src/workers/bar"
},
entities: [Task],
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
2. After declaring the Job, implement its worker function:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/workers/bar.js"
export const foo = async ({ name }, context) => {
console.log(`Hello ${name}!`)
const tasks = await context.entities.Task.findMany({})
return { tasks }
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/workers/bar.ts"
import { type MySpecialJob } from 'wasp/server/jobs'
import { type Task } from 'wasp/entities'
type Input = { name: string; }
type Output = { tasks: Task[]; }
export const foo: MySpecialJob<Input, Output> = async ({ name }, context) => {
console.log(`Hello ${name}!`)
const tasks = await context.entities.Task.findMany({})
return { tasks }
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
:::info The worker function
The worker function must be an `async` function. The function's return value represents the Job's result.
The worker function accepts two arguments:
- `args`: The data passed into the job when it's submitted.
- `context: { entities }`: The context object containing entities you put in the Job declaration.
:::
<ShowForTs>
`MySpecialJob` is a generic type Wasp generates to help you correctly type the Job's worker function, ensuring type information about the function's arguments and return value. Read more about type-safe jobs in the [Javascript API section](#javascript-api).
</ShowForTs>
3. After successfully defining the job, you can submit work to be done in your [Operations](../data-model/operations/overview) or [setupFn](../project/server-config#setup-function) (or any other NodeJS code):
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="someAction.js"
import { mySpecialJob } from 'wasp/server/jobs'
const submittedJob = await mySpecialJob.submit({ job: "Johnny" })
// Or, if you'd prefer it to execute in the future, just add a .delay().
// It takes a number of seconds, Date, or ISO date string.
await mySpecialJob
.delay(10)
.submit({ name: "Johnny" })
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="someAction.ts"
import { mySpecialJob } from 'wasp/server/jobs'
const submittedJob = await mySpecialJob.submit({ job: "Johnny" })
// Or, if you'd prefer it to execute in the future, just add a .delay().
// It takes a number of seconds, Date, or ISO date string.
await mySpecialJob
.delay(10)
.submit({ name: "Johnny" })
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
And that's it. Your job will be executed by `PgBoss` as if you called `foo({ name: "Johnny" })`.
In our example, `foo` takes an argument, but passing arguments to jobs is not a requirement. It depends on how you've implemented your worker function.
### Recurring Jobs
If you have work that needs to be done on some recurring basis, you can add a `schedule` to your job declaration:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp {6-9} title="main.wasp"
job mySpecialJob {
executor: PgBoss,
perform: {
fn: import { foo } from "@src/workers/bar"
},
schedule: {
cron: "0 * * * *",
args: {=json { "job": "args" } json=} // optional
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp {6-9} title="main.wasp"
job mySpecialJob {
executor: PgBoss,
perform: {
fn: import { foo } from "@src/workers/bar"
},
schedule: {
cron: "0 * * * *",
args: {=json { "job": "args" } json=} // optional
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
In this example, you _don't_ need to invoke anything in <ShowForJs>JavaScript</ShowForJs><ShowForTs>Typescript</ShowForTs>. You can imagine `foo({ job: "args" })` getting automatically scheduled and invoked for you every hour.
<!-- TODO: write this piece after we complete https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1412 -->
<!-- ### Getting the Job's Result
When you submit a job, you get a `SubmittedJob` object back. It has a `jobId` field, which you can use to get the job's result. -->
## API Reference
### Declaring Jobs

<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"

executor: PgBoss,
perform: {
fn: import { foo } from "@src/workers/bar",
executorOptions: {
pgBoss: {=json { "retryLimit": 1 } json=}
}
},
schedule: {
cron: "*/5 * * * *",
args: {=json { "foo": "bar" } json=},

pgBoss: {=json { "retryLimit": 0 } json=}
}
},

executorOptions: {
pgBoss: {=json { "retryLimit": 0 } json=}
}
},
entities: [Task],
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The Job declaration has the following fields:
- `executor: JobExecutor` <Required />
:::note Job executors
Our jobs need job executors to handle the _scheduling, monitoring, and execution_.
`PgBoss` is currently our only job executor, and is recommended for low-volume production use cases. It requires your `app.db.system` to be `PostgreSQL`.
:::
We have selected [pg-boss](https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/) as our first job executor to handle the low-volume, basic job queue workloads many web applications have. By using PostgreSQL (and [SKIP LOCKED](https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/blog/what-is-select-skip-locked-for-in-postgresql-9-5/)) as its storage and synchronization mechanism, it allows us to provide many job queue pros without any additional infrastructure or complex management.
:::info
Keep in mind that pg-boss jobs run alongside your other server-side code, so they are not appropriate for CPU-heavy workloads. Additionally, some care is required if you modify scheduled jobs. Please see pg-boss details below for more information.
<details>
<summary>pg-boss details</summary>
pg-boss provides many useful features, which can be found [here](https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/blob/8.4.2/README.md).
When you add pg-boss to a Wasp project, it will automatically add a new schema to your database called `pgboss` with some internal tracking tables, including `job` and `schedule`. pg-boss tables have a `name` column in most tables that will correspond to your Job identifier. Additionally, these tables maintain arguments, states, return values, retry information, start and expiration times, and other metadata required by pg-boss.
If you need to customize the creation of the pg-boss instance, you can set an environment variable called `PG_BOSS_NEW_OPTIONS` to a stringified JSON object containing [these initialization parameters](https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/blob/8.4.2/docs/readme.md#newoptions). **NOTE**: Setting this overwrites all Wasp defaults, so you must include database connection information as well.
### pg-boss considerations
- Wasp starts pg-boss alongside your web server's application, where both are simultaneously operational. This means that jobs running via pg-boss and the rest of the server logic (like Operations) share the CPU, therefore you should avoid running CPU-intensive tasks via jobs.
- Wasp does not (yet) support independent, horizontal scaling of pg-boss-only applications, nor starting them as separate workers/processes/threads.
- The job name/identifier in your `.wasp` file is the same name that will be used in the `name` column of pg-boss tables. If you change a name that had a `schedule` associated with it, pg-boss will continue scheduling those jobs but they will have no handlers associated, and will thus become stale and expire. To resolve this, you can remove the applicable row from the `schedule` table in the `pgboss` schema of your database.
- If you remove a `schedule` from a job, you will need to do the above as well.
- If you wish to deploy to Heroku, you need to set an additional environment variable called `PG_BOSS_NEW_OPTIONS` to `{"connectionString":"<REGULAR_HEROKU_DATABASE_URL>","ssl":{"rejectUnauthorized":false}}`. This is because pg-boss uses the `pg` extension, which does not seem to connect to Heroku over SSL by default, which Heroku requires. Additionally, Heroku uses a self-signed cert, so we must handle that as well.

</details>
:::
- `perform: dict` <Required />
- `fn: ExtImport` <Required />
- An `async` function that performs the work. Since Wasp executes Jobs on the server, the import path must lead to a NodeJS file.
- It receives the following arguments:
- `args: Input`: The data passed to the job when it's submitted.
- `context: { entities: Entities }`: The context object containing any declared entities.
Here's an example of a `perform.fn` function:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/workers/bar.js"
export const foo = async ({ name }, context) => {
console.log(`Hello ${name}!`)
const tasks = await context.entities.Task.findMany({})
return { tasks }
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/workers/bar.ts"
import { type MySpecialJob } from 'wasp/server/jobs'
type Input = { name: string; }
type Output = { tasks: Task[]; }
export const foo: MySpecialJob<Input, Output> = async (args, context) => {
console.log(`Hello ${name}!`)
const tasks = await context.entities.Task.findMany({})
return { tasks }
}
```
Read more about type-safe jobs in the [Javascript API section](#javascript-api).
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
- `executorOptions: dict`
Executor-specific default options to use when submitting jobs. These are passed directly through and you should consult the documentation for the job executor. These can be overridden during invocation with `submit()` or in a `schedule`.
- `pgBoss: JSON`
See the docs for [pg-boss](https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/blob/8.4.2/docs/readme.md#sendname-data-options).
- `schedule: dict`
- `cron: string` <Required />
A 5-placeholder format cron expression string. See rationale for minute-level precision [here](https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/blob/8.4.2/docs/readme.md#scheduling).
_If you need help building cron expressions, Check out_ <em>[Crontab guru](https://crontab.guru/#0_*_*_*_*).</em>
- `args: JSON`
The arguments to pass to the `perform.fn` function when invoked.
- `executorOptions: dict`
Executor-specific options to use when submitting jobs. These are passed directly through and you should consult the documentation for the job executor. The `perform.executorOptions` are the default options, and `schedule.executorOptions` can override/extend those.
- `pgBoss: JSON`
See the docs for [pg-boss](https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/blob/8.4.2/docs/readme.md#sendname-data-options).
- `entities: [Entity]`
A list of entities you wish to use inside your Job (similar to [Queries and Actions](../data-model/operations/queries#using-entities-in-queries)).
### JavaScript API
- Importing a Job:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="someAction.js"
import { mySpecialJob } from 'wasp/server/jobs'
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="someAction.ts"
import { mySpecialJob, type MySpecialJob } from 'wasp/server/jobs'
```
:::info Type-safe jobs
Wasp generates a generic type for each Job declaration, which you can use to type your `perform.fn` function. The type is named after the job declaration, and is available in the `wasp/server/jobs` module. In the example above, the type is `MySpecialJob`.
The type takes two type arguments:
- `Input`: The type of the `args` argument of the `perform.fn` function.
- `Output`: The type of the return value of the `perform.fn` function.
:::
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
- `submit(jobArgs, executorOptions)`
- `jobArgs: Input`
- `executorOptions: object`
Submits a Job to be executed by an executor, optionally passing in a JSON job argument your job handler function receives, and executor-specific submit options.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="someAction.js"
const submittedJob = await mySpecialJob.submit({ job: "args" })
```
</TabItem>

const submittedJob = await mySpecialJob.submit({ job: "args" })
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
- `delay(startAfter)`
- `startAfter: int | string | Date` <Required />
Delaying the invocation of the job handler. The delay can be one of:
- Integer: number of seconds to delay. [Default 0]
- String: ISO date string to run at.
- Date: Date to run at.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="someAction.js"
const submittedJob = await mySpecialJob
.delay(10)
.submit({ job: "args" }, { "retryLimit": 2 })
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="someAction.ts"
const submittedJob = await mySpecialJob
.delay(10)
.submit({ job: "args" }, { "retryLimit": 2 })
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
#### Tracking
The return value of `submit()` is an instance of `SubmittedJob`, which has the following fields:
- `jobId`: The ID for the job in that executor.
- `jobName`: The name of the job you used in your `.wasp` file.
- `executorName`: The Symbol of the name of the job executor.
There are also some namespaced, job executor-specific objects.
- For pg-boss, you may access: `pgBoss`
- `details()`: pg-boss specific job detail information. [Reference](https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/blob/8.4.2/docs/readme.md#getjobbyidid)
- `cancel()`: attempts to cancel a job. [Reference](https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/blob/8.4.2/docs/readme.md#cancelid)
- `resume()`: attempts to resume a canceled job. [Reference](https://github.com/timgit/pg-boss/blob/8.4.2/docs/readme.md#resumeid)

title: Type-Safe Links
---
import { Required } from '@site/src/components/Tag'
If you are using Typescript, you can use Wasp's custom `Link` component to create type-safe links to other pages on your site.
## Using the `Link` Component
After you defined a route:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
route TaskRoute { path: "/task/:id", to: TaskPage }
page TaskPage { ... }
```
You can get the benefits of type-safe links by using the `Link` component from `wasp/client/router`:
```jsx title="TaskList.tsx"
import { Link } from 'wasp/client/router'
export const TaskList = () => {
// ...
return (
<div>
{tasks.map((task) => (
<Link
key={task.id}
to="/task/:id"
{/* 👆 You must provide a valid path here */}
params={{ id: task.id }}>
{/* 👆 All the params must be correctly passed in */}
{task.description}
</Link>
))}
</div>
)
}
```
### Using Search Query & Hash
You can also pass `search` and `hash` props to the `Link` component:
```tsx title="TaskList.tsx"
<Link
to="/task/:id"
params={{ id: task.id }}
search={{ sortBy: 'date' }}
hash="comments"
>
{task.description}
</Link>
```
This will result in a link like this: `/task/1?sortBy=date#comments`. Check out the [API Reference](#link-component) for more details.
## The `routes` Object
You can also get all the pages in your app with the `routes` object:
```jsx title="TaskList.tsx"
import { routes } from 'wasp/client/router'
const linkToTask = routes.TaskRoute.build({ params: { id: 1 } })
```
This will result in a link like this: `/task/1`.
You can also pass `search` and `hash` props to the `build` function. Check out the [API Reference](#routes-object) for more details.
## API Reference
### `Link` Component
The `Link` component accepts the following props:
- `to` <Required />
- A valid Wasp Route path from your `main.wasp` file.
- `params: { [name: string]: string | number }` <Required /> (if the path contains params)
- An object with keys and values for each param in the path.
- For example, if the path is `/task/:id`, then the `params` prop must be `{ id: 1 }`. Wasp supports required and optional params.
- `search: string[][] | Record<string, string> | string | URLSearchParams`
- Any valid input for `URLSearchParams` constructor.
- For example, the object `{ sortBy: 'date' }` becomes `?sortBy=date`.
- `hash: string`
- all other props that the `react-router-dom`'s [Link](https://v5.reactrouter.com/web/api/Link) component accepts
### `routes` Object
The `routes` object contains a function for each route in your app.
```ts title="router.tsx"
export const routes = {
// RootRoute has a path like "/"
RootRoute: {
build: (options?: {
search?: string[][] | Record<string, string> | string | URLSearchParams
hash?: string
}) => // ...
},
// DetailRoute has a path like "/task/:id/:something?"
DetailRoute: {
build: (
options: {
params: { id: ParamValue; something?: ParamValue; },
search?: string[][] | Record<string, string> | string | URLSearchParams
hash?: string
}
) => // ...
}
}
```
The `params` object is required if the route contains params. The `search` and `hash` parameters are optional.
You can use the `routes` object like this:
```tsx
import { routes } from 'wasp/client/router'
const linkToRoot = routes.RootRoute.build()
const linkToTask = routes.DetailRoute.build({ params: { id: 1 } })
```

title: Configuring Middleware
---
import { ShowForTs } from '@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers';
Wasp comes with a minimal set of useful Express middleware in every application. While this is good for most users, we realize some may wish to add, modify, or remove some of these choices both globally, or on a per-`api`/path basis.
## Default Global Middleware 🌍
Wasp's Express server has the following middleware by default:
- [Helmet](https://helmetjs.github.io/): Helmet helps you secure your Express apps by setting various HTTP headers. _It's not a silver bullet, but it's a good start._
- [CORS](https://github.com/expressjs/cors#readme): CORS is a package for providing a middleware that can be used to enable [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS) with various options.
:::note
CORS middleware is required for the frontend to communicate with the backend.
:::
- [Morgan](https://github.com/expressjs/morgan#readme): HTTP request logger middleware.
- [express.json](https://expressjs.com/en/api.html#express.json) (which uses [body-parser](https://github.com/expressjs/body-parser#bodyparserjsonoptions)): parses incoming request bodies in a middleware before your handlers, making the result available under the `req.body` property.
:::note
JSON middleware is required for [Operations](../data-model/operations/overview) to function properly.
:::
- [express.urlencoded](https://expressjs.com/en/api.html#express.urlencoded) (which uses [body-parser](https://expressjs.com/en/resources/middleware/body-parser.html#bodyparserurlencodedoptions)): returns middleware that only parses urlencoded bodies and only looks at requests where the `Content-Type` header matches the type option.
- [cookieParser](https://github.com/expressjs/cookie-parser#readme): parses Cookie header and populates `req.cookies` with an object keyed by the cookie names.
## Customization
You have three places where you can customize middleware:
1. [global](#1-customize-global-middleware): here, any changes will apply by default *to all operations (`query` and `action`) and `api`.* This is helpful if you wanted to add support for multiple domains to CORS, for example.
:::caution Modifying global middleware
Please treat modifications to global middleware with extreme care as they will affect all operations and APIs. If you are unsure, use one of the other two options.
:::
2. [per-api](#2-customize-api-specific-middleware): you can override middleware for a specific api route (e.g. `POST /webhook/callback`). This is helpful if you want to disable JSON parsing for some callback, for example.
3. [per-path](#3-customize-per-path-middleware): this is helpful if you need to customize middleware for all methods under a given path.
- It's helpful for things like "complex CORS requests" which may need to apply to both `OPTIONS` and `GET`, or to apply some middleware to a _set of `api` routes_.
### Default Middleware Definitions
Below is the actual definitions of default middleware which you can override.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js
const defaultGlobalMiddleware = new Map([
['helmet', helmet()],
['cors', cors({ origin: config.allowedCORSOrigins })],
['logger', logger('dev')],
['express.json', express.json()],
['express.urlencoded', express.urlencoded({ extended: false })],
['cookieParser', cookieParser()]
])
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts
export type MiddlewareConfig = Map<string, express.RequestHandler>
// Used in the examples below 👇
export type MiddlewareConfigFn = (middlewareConfig: MiddlewareConfig) => MiddlewareConfig
const defaultGlobalMiddleware: MiddlewareConfig = new Map([
['helmet', helmet()],
['cors', cors({ origin: config.allowedCORSOrigins })],
['logger', logger('dev')],
['express.json', express.json()],
['express.urlencoded', express.urlencoded({ extended: false })],
['cookieParser', cookieParser()]
])
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## 1. Customize Global Middleware
If you would like to modify the middleware for _all_ operations and APIs, you can do something like:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp {6} title=main.wasp
app todoApp {
// ...
server: {
setupFn: import setup from "@src/serverSetup",
middlewareConfigFn: import { serverMiddlewareFn } from "@src/serverSetup"
},
}
```
```ts title=src/serverSetup.js
import cors from 'cors'
import { config } from 'wasp/server'
export const serverMiddlewareFn = (middlewareConfig) => {
// Example of adding extra domains to CORS.
middlewareConfig.set('cors', cors({ origin: [config.frontendUrl, 'https://example1.com', 'https://example2.com'] }))
return middlewareConfig
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp {6} title=main.wasp
app todoApp {
// ...
server: {
setupFn: import setup from "@src/serverSetup",
middlewareConfigFn: import { serverMiddlewareFn } from "@src/serverSetup"
},
}
```
```ts title=src/serverSetup.ts
import cors from 'cors'
import { config, type MiddlewareConfigFn } from 'wasp/server'
export const serverMiddlewareFn: MiddlewareConfigFn = (middlewareConfig) => {
// Example of adding an extra domains to CORS.
middlewareConfig.set('cors', cors({ origin: [config.frontendUrl, 'https://example1.com', 'https://example2.com'] }))
return middlewareConfig
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## 2. Customize `api`-specific Middleware
If you would like to modify the middleware for a single API, you can do something like:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp {5} title=main.wasp
// ...
api webhookCallback {
fn: import { webhookCallback } from "@src/apis",
middlewareConfigFn: import { webhookCallbackMiddlewareFn } from "@src/apis",
httpRoute: (POST, "/webhook/callback"),
auth: false
}
```
```ts title=src/apis.js
import express from 'express'
export const webhookCallback = (req, res, _context) => {
res.json({ msg: req.body.length })
}
export const webhookCallbackMiddlewareFn = (middlewareConfig) => {
console.log('webhookCallbackMiddlewareFn: Swap express.json for express.raw')
middlewareConfig.delete('express.json')
middlewareConfig.set('express.raw', express.raw({ type: '*/*' }))
return middlewareConfig
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp {5} title=main.wasp
// ...
api webhookCallback {
fn: import { webhookCallback } from "@src/apis",
middlewareConfigFn: import { webhookCallbackMiddlewareFn } from "@src/apis",
httpRoute: (POST, "/webhook/callback"),
auth: false
}
```
```ts title=src/apis.ts
import express from 'express'
import { type WebhookCallback } from 'wasp/server/api'
import { type MiddlewareConfigFn } from 'wasp/server'
export const webhookCallback: WebhookCallback = (req, res, _context) => {
res.json({ msg: req.body.length })
}
export const webhookCallbackMiddlewareFn: MiddlewareConfigFn = (middlewareConfig) => {
console.log('webhookCallbackMiddlewareFn: Swap express.json for express.raw')
middlewareConfig.delete('express.json')
middlewareConfig.set('express.raw', express.raw({ type: '*/*' }))
return middlewareConfig
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
:::note
This gets installed on a per-method basis. Behind the scenes, this results in code like:
```js
router.post('/webhook/callback', webhookCallbackMiddleware, ...)
```
:::
## 3. Customize Per-Path Middleware
If you would like to modify the middleware for all API routes under some common path, you can define a `middlewareConfigFn` on an `apiNamespace`:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp {4} title=main.wasp
// ...
apiNamespace fooBar {
middlewareConfigFn: import { fooBarNamespaceMiddlewareFn } from "@src/apis",
path: "/foo/bar"
}
```
```ts title=src/apis.js
export const fooBarNamespaceMiddlewareFn = (middlewareConfig) => {
const customMiddleware = (_req, _res, next) => {
console.log('fooBarNamespaceMiddlewareFn: custom middleware')
next()
}
middlewareConfig.set('custom.middleware', customMiddleware)
return middlewareConfig
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp {4} title=main.wasp
// ...
apiNamespace fooBar {
middlewareConfigFn: import { fooBarNamespaceMiddlewareFn } from "@src/apis",
path: "/foo/bar"
}
```
```ts title=src/apis.ts
import express from 'express'
import { type MiddlewareConfigFn } from 'wasp/server'

import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl';
import { ShowForTs } from '@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers';
import { Required } from '@site/src/components/Tag';
Wasp provides a fully integrated WebSocket experience by utilizing [Socket.IO](https://socket.io/) on the client and server.
We handle making sure your URLs are correctly setup, CORS is enabled, and provide a useful `useSocket` and `useSocketListener` abstractions for use in React components.
To get started, you need to:
1. Define your WebSocket logic on the server.
2. Enable WebSockets in your Wasp file, and connect it with your server logic.
3. Use WebSockets on the client, in React, via `useSocket` and `useSocketListener`.
4. Optionally, type the WebSocket events and payloads for full-stack type safety.
Let's go through setting up WebSockets step by step, starting with enabling WebSockets in your Wasp file.
## Turn On WebSockets in Your Wasp File
We specify that we are using WebSockets by adding `webSocket` to our `app` and providing the required `fn`. You can optionally change the auto-connect behavior.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title=todoApp.wasp
app todoApp {
// ...
webSocket: {
fn: import { webSocketFn } from "@src/webSocket",
autoConnect: true, // optional, default: true
},
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title=todoApp.wasp
app todoApp {
// ...
webSocket: {
fn: import { webSocketFn } from "@src/webSocket",
autoConnect: true, // optional, default: true
},
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## Defining the Events Handler
Let's define the WebSockets server with all of the events and handler functions.
<ShowForTs>
:::info Full-stack type safety
Check this out: we'll define the event types and payloads on the server, and they will be **automatically exposed on the client**. This helps you avoid mistakes when emitting events or handling them.
:::
</ShowForTs>
### `webSocketFn` Function
On the server, you will get Socket.IO `io: Server` argument and `context` for your WebSocket function. The `context` object give you access to all of the entities from your Wasp app.
You can use this `io` object to register callbacks for all the regular [Socket.IO events](https://socket.io/docs/v4/server-api/). Also, if a user is logged in, you will have a `socket.data.user` on the server.
This is how we can define our `webSocketFn` function:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```ts title=src/webSocket.js
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid'
import { getFirstProviderUserId } from 'wasp/auth'
export const webSocketFn = (io, context) => {
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
const username = getFirstProviderUserId(socket.data.user) ?? 'Unknown'
console.log('a user connected: ', username)
socket.on('chatMessage', async (msg) => {
console.log('message: ', msg)
io.emit('chatMessage', { id: uuidv4(), username, text: msg })
// You can also use your entities here:
// await context.entities.SomeEntity.create({ someField: msg })
})
})
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title=src/webSocket.ts
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid'
import { getFirstProviderUserId } from 'wasp/auth'
import { type WebSocketDefinition, type WaspSocketData } from 'wasp/server/webSocket'
export const webSocketFn: WebSocketFn = (io, context) => {
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
const username = getFirstProviderUserId(socket.data.user) ?? 'Unknown'
console.log('a user connected: ', username)
socket.on('chatMessage', async (msg) => {
console.log('message: ', msg)
io.emit('chatMessage', { id: uuidv4(), username, text: msg })
// You can also use your entities here:
// await context.entities.SomeEntity.create({ someField: msg })
})
})
}
// Typing our WebSocket function with the events and payloads
// allows us to get type safety on the client as well
type WebSocketFn = WebSocketDefinition<
ClientToServerEvents,
ServerToClientEvents,
InterServerEvents,
SocketData
>
interface ServerToClientEvents {
chatMessage: (msg: { id: string, username: string, text: string }) => void;
}
interface ClientToServerEvents {
chatMessage: (msg: string) => void;
}
interface InterServerEvents {}
// Data that is attached to the socket.
// NOTE: Wasp automatically injects the JWT into the connection,
// and if present/valid, the server adds a user to the socket.
interface SocketData extends WaspSocketData {}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## Using the WebSocket On The Client
<ShowForTs>
:::info Full-stack type safety
All the hooks we use are typed with the events and payloads you defined on the server. VS Code will give you autocomplete for the events and payloads, and you will get type errors if you make a mistake.
:::
</ShowForTs>
### `useSocket` Hook
Client access to WebSockets is provided by the `useSocket` hook. It returns:
- `socket: Socket` for sending and receiving events.
- `isConnected: boolean` for showing a display of the Socket.IO connection status.
- Note: Wasp automatically connects and establishes a WebSocket connection from the client to the server by default, so you do not need to explicitly `socket.connect()` or `socket.disconnect()`.
- If you set `autoConnect: false` in your Wasp file, then you should call these as needed.
All components using `useSocket` share the same underlying `socket`.
### `useSocketListener` Hook
Additionally, there is a `useSocketListener: (event, callback) => void` hook which is used for registering event handlers. It takes care of unregistering the handler on unmount.

:::caution Using multiple auth identities for a single user
Wasp currently doesn't support multiple auth identities for a single user. This means, for example, that a user can't have both an email-based auth identity and a Google-based auth identity. This is something we will add in the future with the introduction of the [account merging feature](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/954).
Account merging means that multiple auth identities can be merged into a single user account. For example, a user's email and Google identity can be merged into a single user account. Then the user can log in with either their email or Google account and they will be logged into the same account.

title: Auth Entities
---
import ImgWithCaption from '@site/blog/components/ImgWithCaption'
import { Internal } from '@site/src/components/Tag'
import MultipleIdentitiesWarning from '../\_multiple-identities-warning.md';
import GetEmail from './\_get-email.md';
import GetUsername from './\_get-username.md';
Wasp supports multiple different authentication methods and for each method, we need to store different information about the user. For example, if you are using the [Username & password](./username-and-pass) authentication method, we need to store the user's username and password. On the other hand, if you are using the [Email](./email) authentication method, you will need to store the user's email, password and for example, their email verification status.
## Entities Explained
To store user information, Wasp creates a few entities behind the scenes. In this section, we will explain what entities are created and how they are connected.
### User Entity
When you want to add authentication to your app, you need to specify the user entity e.g. `User` in your Wasp file. This entity is a "business logic user" which represents a user of your app.
You can use this entity to store any information about the user that you want to store. For example, you might want to store the user's name or address. You can also use the user entity to define the relations between users and other entities in your app. For example, you might want to define a relation between a user and the tasks that they have created.
```wasp
entity User {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
// Any other fields you want to store about the user
psl=}
```
You **own** the user entity and you can modify it as you wish. You can add new fields to it, remove fields from it, or change the type of the fields. You can also add new relations to it or remove existing relations from it.
<ImgWithCaption alt="Auth Entities in a Wasp App" source="img/auth-entities/model.png" caption="Auth Entities in a Wasp App"/>
On the other hand, the `Auth`, `AuthIdentity` and `Session` entities are created behind the scenes and are used to store the user's login credentials. You as the developer don't need to care about this entity most of the time. Wasp **owns** these entities.
In the case you want to create a custom signup action, you will need to use the `Auth` and `AuthIdentity` entities directly.
### Example App Model
Let's imagine we created a simple tasks management app:
- The app has email and Google-based auth.
- Users can create tasks and see the tasks that they have created.
Let's look at how would that look in the database:
<ImgWithCaption alt="Example of Auth Entities" source="img/auth-entities/model-example.png" caption="Example of Auth Entities"/>
If we take a look at an example user in the database, we can see:
- The business logic user, `User` is connected to multiple `Task` entities.
- In this example, "Example User" has two tasks.
- The `User` is connected to exactly one `Auth` entity.
- Each `Auth` entity can have multiple `AuthIdentity` entities.
- In this example, the `Auth` entity has two `AuthIdentity` entities: one for the email-based auth and one for the Google-based auth.
- Each `Auth` entity can have multiple `Session` entities.
- In this example, the `Auth` entity has one `Session` entity.
<MultipleIdentitiesWarning />
### `Auth` Entity <Internal />
Wasp's internal `Auth` entity is used to connect the business logic user, `User` with the user's login credentials.
```wasp
entity Auth {=psl
id String @id @default(uuid())
userId Int? @unique
// Wasp injects this relation on the User entity as well
user User? @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
identities AuthIdentity[]
sessions Session[]
psl=}
```
The `Auth` fields:
- `id` is a unique identifier of the `Auth` entity.
- `userId` is a foreign key to the `User` entity.
- It is used to connect the `Auth` entity with the business logic user.
- `user` is a relation to the `User` entity.
- This relation is injected on the `User` entity as well.
- `identities` is a relation to the `AuthIdentity` entity.
- `sessions` is a relation to the `Session` entity.
### `AuthIdentity` Entity <Internal />
The `AuthIdentity` entity is used to store the user's login credentials for various authentication methods.
```wasp
entity AuthIdentity {=psl
providerName String
providerUserId String
providerData String @default("{}")
authId String
auth Auth @relation(fields: [authId], references: [id], onDelete: Cascade)
@@id([providerName, providerUserId])
psl=}
```
The `AuthIdentity` fields:
- `providerName` is the name of the authentication provider.
- For example, `email` or `google`.
- `providerUserId` is the user's ID in the authentication provider.
- For example, the user's email or Google ID.
- `providerData` is a JSON string that contains additional data about the user from the authentication provider.
- For example, for password based auth, this field contains the user's hashed password.
- This field is a `String` and not a `Json` type because [Prisma doesn't support the `Json` type for SQLite](https://github.com/prisma/prisma/issues/3786).
- `authId` is a foreign key to the `Auth` entity.
- It is used to connect the `AuthIdentity` entity with the `Auth` entity.
- `auth` is a relation to the `Auth` entity.
### `Session` Entity <Internal />
The `Session` entity is used to store the user's session information. It is used to keep the user logged in between page refreshes.
```wasp
entity Session {=psl
id String @id @unique
expiresAt DateTime
userId String
auth Auth @relation(references: [id], fields: [userId], onDelete: Cascade)
@@index([userId])
psl=}
```
The `Session` fields:
- `id` is a unique identifier of the `Session` entity.
- `expiresAt` is the date when the session expires.
- `userId` is a foreign key to the `Auth` entity.
- It is used to connect the `Session` entity with the `Auth` entity.
- `auth` is a relation to the `Auth` entity.
## Accessing the Auth Fields
If you are looking to access the user's email or username in your code, you can do that by accessing the info about the user that is stored in the `AuthIdentity` entity.
Everywhere where Wasp gives you the `user` object, it also includes the `auth` relation with the `identities` relation. This means that you can access the auth identity info by using the `user.auth.identities` array.
To make things a bit easier for you, Wasp offers a few helper functions that you can use to access the auth identity info.
### `getEmail`
<GetEmail />
### `getUsername`
<GetUsername />
### `getFirstProviderUserId`
The `getFirstProviderUserId` helper returns the first user ID (e.g. `username` or `email`) that it finds for the user or `null` if it doesn't find any.
[As mentioned before](#authidentity-entity-), the `providerUserId` field is how providers identify our users. For example, the user's `username` in the case of the username auth or the user's `email` in the case of the email auth. This can be useful if you support multiple authentication methods and you need *any* ID that identifies the user in your app.

### `findUserIdentity`
You can find a specific auth identity by using the `findUserIdentity` helper function. This function takes a `user` and a `providerName` and returns the first `providerName` identity that it finds or `null` if it doesn't find any.
Possible provider names are:
- `email`
- `username`
- `google`
- `github`
This can be useful if you want to check if the user has a specific auth identity. For example, you might want to check if the user has an email auth identity or Google auth identity.

## Custom Signup Action
Let's take a look at how you can use the `Auth` and `AuthIdentity` entities to create custom login and signup actions. For example, you might want to create a custom signup action that creates a user in your app and also creates a user in a third-party service.

In the [Email](./email#creating-a-custom-sign-up-action) section of the docs we give you an example for custom email signup and in the [Username & password](./username-and-pass#2-creating-your-custom-sign-up-action) section of the docs we give you an example for custom username & password signup.
:::
Below is a simplified version of a custom signup action which you probably wouldn't use in your app but it shows you how you can use the `Auth` and `AuthIdentity` entities to create a custom signup action.

You can use whichever method suits your needs better: either the `createUser` function or Prisma's `User.create` method. The `createUser` function is a bit more convenient to use because it hides some of the complexity. On the other hand, the `User.create` method gives you more control over the data that is stored in the `Auth` and `AuthIdentity` entities.

When a user logs in using a social login provider, the backend receives some data about the user.
Wasp lets you access this data inside the `userSignupFields` getters.
For example, the User entity can include a `displayName` field which you can set based on the details received from the provider.
Wasp also lets you customize the configuration of the providers' settings using the `configFn` function.
Let's use this example to show both fields in action:

Wasp supports Github Authentication out of the box.
GitHub is a great external auth choice when you're building apps for developers, as most of them already have a GitHub account.
Letting your users log in using their GitHub accounts turns the signup process into a breeze.
Let's walk through enabling Github Authentication, explain some of the default settings, and show how to override them.
## Setting up Github Auth
Enabling GitHub Authentication comes down to a series of steps:
1. Enabling GitHub authentication in the Wasp file.
1. Adding the `User` entity.
1. Creating a GitHub OAuth app.
1. Adding the necessary Routes and Pages
1. Using Auth UI components in our Pages.
<WaspFileStructureNote />
### 1. Adding Github Auth to Your Wasp File
Let's start by properly configuring the Auth object:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "My App",
auth: {
// highlight-next-line
// 1. Specify the User entity (we'll define it next)
// highlight-next-line
userEntity: User,
methods: {
// highlight-next-line
// 2. Enable Github Auth
// highlight-next-line
gitHub: {}
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
},
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "My App",
auth: {
// highlight-next-line
// 1. Specify the User entity (we'll define it next)
// highlight-next-line
userEntity: User,
methods: {
// highlight-next-line
// 2. Enable Github Auth
// highlight-next-line
gitHub: {}
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
},
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### 2. Add the User Entity
Let's now define the `app.auth.userEntity` entity:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
// 3. Define the User entity
// highlight-next-line
entity User {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
// ...
psl=}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
// 3. Define the User entity
// highlight-next-line
entity User {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
// ...
psl=}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### 3. Creating a GitHub OAuth App
To use GitHub as an authentication method, you'll first need to create a GitHub OAuth App and provide Wasp with your client key and secret. Here's how you do it:
1. Log into your GitHub account and navigate to: https://github.com/settings/developers.
2. Select **New OAuth App**.
3. Supply required information.
<img alt="GitHub Applications Screenshot"
src={useBaseUrl('img/integrations-github-1.png')}
width="400px"
/>
- For **Authorization callback URL**:
- For development, put: `http://localhost:3001/auth/github/callback`.
- Once you know on which URL your API server will be deployed, you can create a new app with that URL instead e.g. `https://your-server-url.com/auth/github/callback`.
4. Hit **Register application**.
5. Hit **Generate a new client secret** on the next page.
6. Copy your Client ID and Client secret as you'll need them in the next step.
### 4. Adding Environment Variables
Add these environment variables to the `.env.server` file at the root of your project (take their values from the previous step):
```bash title=".env.server"
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your-github-client-id
GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=your-github-client-secret
```
### 5. Adding the Necessary Routes and Pages
Let's define the necessary authentication Routes and Pages.
Add the following code to your `main.wasp` file:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
// 6. Define the routes
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { Login } from "@src/pages/auth.jsx"
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
// 6. Define the routes
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { Login } from "@src/pages/auth.tsx"
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
We'll define the React components for these pages in the `src/pages/auth.{jsx,tsx}` file below.
### 6. Creating the Client Pages
:::info
We are using [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) to style the pages. Read more about how to add it [here](../../project/css-frameworks).
:::
Let's create a `auth.{jsx,tsx}` file in the `src/pages` folder and add the following to it:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```tsx title="src/pages/auth.jsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
export function Login() {
return (
<Layout>
<LoginForm />
</Layout>
)
}
// A layout component to center the content
export function Layout({ children }) {
return (
<div className="w-full h-full bg-white">
<div className="min-w-full min-h-[75vh] flex items-center justify-center">
<div className="w-full h-full max-w-sm p-5 bg-white">
<div>{children}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/pages/auth.tsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
export function Login() {
return (
<Layout>
<LoginForm />
</Layout>
)
}
// A layout component to center the content
export function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
return (
<div className="w-full h-full bg-white">
<div className="min-w-full min-h-[75vh] flex items-center justify-center">
<div className="w-full h-full max-w-sm p-5 bg-white">
<div>{children}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
We imported the generated Auth UI components and used them in our pages. Read more about the Auth UI components [here](../../auth/ui).
### Conclusion
Yay, we've successfully set up Github Auth! 🎉
![Github Auth](/img/auth/github.png)
Running `wasp db migrate-dev` and `wasp start` should now give you a working app with authentication.
To see how to protect specific pages (i.e., hide them from non-authenticated users), read the docs on [using auth](../../auth/overview).
## Default Behaviour
Add `gitHub: {}` to the `auth.methods` dictionary to use it with default settings.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "My App",

// highlight-next-line
gitHub: {}

gitHub: {}
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"

}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
<DefaultBehaviour />
## Overrides
<OverrideIntro />
### Data Received From GitHub
We are using GitHub's API and its `/user` and `/user/emails` endpoints to get the user data.
:::info We combine the data from the two endpoints
You'll find the emails in the `emails` property in the object that you receive in `userSignupFields`.
This is because we combine the data from the `/user` and `/user/emails` endpoints **if the `user` or `user:email` scope is requested.**
:::
The data we receive from GitHub on the `/user` endpoint looks something this:
```json
{
"login": "octocat",
"id": 1,
"name": "monalisa octocat",
"avatar_url": "https://github.com/images/error/octocat_happy.gif",
"gravatar_id": "",
// ...
}
```
And the data from the `/user/emails` endpoint looks something like this:
```json
[
{
"email": "octocat@github.com",
"verified": true,
"primary": true,
"visibility": "public"
}
]
```
The fields you receive will depend on the scopes you requested. By default we don't specify any scopes. If you want to get the emails, you need to specify the `user` or `user:email` scope in the `configFn` function.
<small>
For an up to date info about the data received from GitHub, please refer to the [GitHub API documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/users/users?apiVersion=2022-11-28#get-the-authenticated-user).

### 3. Creating a Google OAuth App
To use Google as an authentication method, you'll first need to create a Google project and provide Wasp with your client key and secret. Here's how you do it:
1. Create a Google Cloud Platform account if you do not already have one: https://cloud.google.com/
2. Create and configure a new Google project here: https://console.cloud.google.com/home/dashboard
![Google Console Screenshot 1](/img/integrations-google-1.jpg)
![Google Console Screenshot 2](/img/integrations-google-2.jpg)
3. Search for **OAuth** in the top bar, click on **OAuth consent screen**.
![Google Console Screenshot 3](/img/integrations-google-3.jpg)
- Select what type of app you want, we will go with **External**.
![Google Console Screenshot 4](/img/integrations-google-4.jpg)
- Fill out applicable information on Page 1.
![Google Console Screenshot 5](/img/integrations-google-5.jpg)
- On Page 2, Scopes, you should select `userinfo.profile`. You can optionally search for other things, like `email`.

- Add any test users you want on Page 3.
![Google Console Screenshot 9](/img/integrations-google-9.jpg)
4. Next, click **Credentials**.
![Google Console Screenshot 10](/img/integrations-google-10.jpg)
- Select **Create Credentials**.
- Select **OAuth client ID**.
![Google Console Screenshot 11](/img/integrations-google-11.jpg)
- Complete the form
![Google Console Screenshot 12](/img/integrations-google-12.jpg)
- Under Authorized redirect URIs, put in: `http://localhost:3001/auth/google/callback`
![Google Console Screenshot 13](/img/integrations-google-13.jpg)
- Once you know on which URL(s) your API server will be deployed, also add those URL(s).
- For example: `https://your-server-url.com/auth/google/callback`
- When you save, you can click the Edit icon and your credentials will be shown.

5. Copy your Client ID and Client secret as you will need them in the next step.
### 4. Adding Environment Variables
Add these environment variables to the `.env.server` file at the root of your project (take their values from the previous step):
```bash title=".env.server"
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-google-client-id
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-google-client-secret
```
### 5. Adding the Necessary Routes and Pages
Let's define the necessary authentication Routes and Pages.
Add the following code to your `main.wasp` file:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
// 6. Define the routes
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { Login } from "@src/pages/auth.jsx"
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
// 6. Define the routes
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { Login } from "@src/pages/auth.tsx"
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
We'll define the React components for these pages in the `src/pages/auth.{jsx,tsx}` file below.
### 6. Create the Client Pages

### Conclusion
Yay, we've successfully set up Google Auth! 🎉
![Google Auth](/img/auth/google.png)
Running `wasp db migrate-dev` and `wasp start` should now give you a working app with authentication.
To see how to protect specific pages (i.e., hide them from non-authenticated users), read the docs on [using auth](../../auth/overview).
## Default Behaviour
Add `google: {}` to the `auth.methods` dictionary to use it with default settings:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"

// highlight-next-line
google: {}
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
},
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
<DefaultBehaviour />
## Overrides
<OverrideIntro />
### Data Received From Google
We are using Google's API and its `/userinfo` endpoint to fetch the user's data.
The data received from Google is an object which can contain the following fields:
```json
[
"name",
"given_name",
"family_name",
"email",
"email_verified",
"aud",
"exp",
"iat",
"iss",
"locale",
"picture",
"sub"
]
```
The fields you receive depend on the scopes you request. The default scope is set to `profile` only. If you want to get the user's email, you need to specify the `email` scope in the `configFn` function.

For an up to date info about the data received from Google, please refer to the [Google API documentation](https://developers.google.com/identity/openid-connect/openid-connect#an-id-tokens-payload).

Wasp supports Keycloak Authentication out of the box.
[Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/) is an open-source identity and access management solution for modern applications and services. Keycloak provides both SAML and OpenID protocol solutions. It also has a very flexible and powerful administration UI.
Let's walk through enabling Keycloak authentication, explain some of the default settings, and show how to override them.
## Setting up Keycloak Auth
Enabling Keycloak Authentication comes down to a series of steps:
1. Enabling Keycloak authentication in the Wasp file.
1. Adding the `User` entity.
1. Creating a Keycloak client.
1. Adding the necessary Routes and Pages
1. Using Auth UI components in our Pages.
<WaspFileStructureNote />
### 1. Adding Keycloak Auth to Your Wasp File
Let's start by properly configuring the Auth object:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "My App",
auth: {
// 1. Specify the User entity (we'll define it next)
// highlight-next-line
userEntity: User,
methods: {
// 2. Enable Keycloak Auth
// highlight-next-line
keycloak: {}
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
},
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "My App",
auth: {
// 1. Specify the User entity (we'll define it next)
// highlight-next-line
userEntity: User,
methods: {
// 2. Enable Keycloak Auth
// highlight-next-line
keycloak: {}
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
},
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The `userEntity` is explained in [the social auth overview](../../auth/social-auth/overview#social-login-entity).
### 2. Adding the User Entity
Let's now define the `app.auth.userEntity` entity:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
// 3. Define the User entity
// highlight-next-line
entity User {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
// ...
psl=}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
// 3. Define the User entity
// highlight-next-line
entity User {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
// ...
psl=}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### 3. Creating a Keycloak Client
1. Log into your Keycloak admin console.
1. Under **Clients**, click on **Create Client**.
![Keycloak Screenshot 1](/img/auth/keycloak/1-keycloak.png)
1. Fill in the **Client ID** and choose a name for the client.
![Keycloak Screenshot 2](/img/auth/keycloak/2-keycloak.png)
1. In the next step, enable **Client Authentication**.
![Keycloak Screenshot 3](/img/auth/keycloak/3-keycloak.png)
1. Under **Valid Redirect URIs**, add `http://localhost:3001/auth/keycloak/callback` for local development.
![Keycloak Screenshot 4](/img/auth/keycloak/4-keycloak.png)
- Once you know on which URL(s) your API server will be deployed, also add those URL(s).
- For example: `https://my-server-url.com/auth/keycloak/callback`.
1. Click **Save**.
1. In the **Credentials** tab, copy the **Client Secret** value, which we'll use in the next step.
![Keycloak Screenshot 5](/img/auth/keycloak/5-keycloak.png)
### 4. Adding Environment Variables
Add these environment variables to the `.env.server` file at the root of your project (take their values from the previous step):
```bash title=".env.server"
KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID=your-keycloak-client-id
KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET=your-keycloak-client-secret
KEYCLOAK_REALM_URL=https://your-keycloak-url.com/realms/master
```
We assumed in the `KEYCLOAK_REALM_URL` env variable that you are using the `master` realm. If you are using a different realm, replace `master` with your realm name.
### 5. Adding the Necessary Routes and Pages
Let's define the necessary authentication Routes and Pages.
Add the following code to your `main.wasp` file:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
// 6. Define the routes
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { Login } from "@src/pages/auth.jsx"
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
// 6. Define the routes
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { Login } from "@src/pages/auth.tsx"
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
We'll define the React components for these pages in the `src/pages/auth.{jsx,tsx}` file below.

import { SocialAuthGrid } from './SocialAuthGrid';
import DefaultBehaviour from './\_default-behaviour.md';
import OverrideIntro from './\_override-intro.md';
import GetUserFieldsType from './\_getuserfields-type.md';
Social login options (e.g., _Log in with Google_) are a great (maybe even the best) solution for handling user accounts.
A famous old developer joke tells us _"The best auth system is the one you never have to make."_
Wasp wants to make adding social login options to your app as painless as possible.
Using different social providers gives users a chance to sign into your app via their existing accounts on other platforms (Google, GitHub, etc.).
This page goes through the common behaviors between all supported social login providers and shows you how to customize them.
It also gives an overview of Wasp's UI helpers - the quickest possible way to get started with social auth.
## Available Providers
Wasp currently supports the following social login providers:
<SocialAuthGrid />
## User Entity
Wasp requires you to declare a `userEntity` for all `auth` methods (social or otherwise).
This field tells Wasp which Entity represents the user.
Here's what the full setup looks like:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "My App",
auth: {
// highlight-next-line
userEntity: User,
methods: {
google: {}
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
},
}
// highlight-next-line
entity User {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
//...
psl=}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "My App",
auth: {
// highlight-next-line
userEntity: User,
methods: {
google: {}
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
},
}
// highlight-next-line
entity User {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
//...
psl=}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
<small>
To learn more about what the fields on these entities represent, look at the [API Reference](#api-reference).
</small>
## Default Behavior
<DefaultBehaviour />
## Overrides
By default, Wasp doesn't store any information it receives from the social login provider. It only stores the user's ID specific to the provider.
If you wish to store more information about the user, you can override the default behavior. You can do this by defining the `userSignupFields` and `configFn` fields in `main.wasp` for each provider.
You can create custom signup setups, such as allowing users to define a custom username after they sign up with a social provider.
### Example: Allowing User to Set Their Username
If you want to modify the signup flow (e.g., let users choose their own usernames), you will need to go through three steps:
1. The first step is adding a `isSignupComplete` property to your `User` Entity. This field will signal whether the user has completed the signup process.
2. The second step is overriding the default signup behavior.
3. The third step is implementing the rest of your signup flow and redirecting users where appropriate.
Let's go through both steps in more detail.
#### 1. Adding the `isSignupComplete` Field to the `User` Entity

<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp

id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
username String? @unique
// highlight-next-line
isSignupComplete Boolean @default(false)
psl=}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
#### 2. Overriding the Default Behavior
Declare an import under `app.auth.methods.google.userSignupFields` (the example assumes you're using Google):
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "My App",
auth: {
userEntity: User,
methods: {
google: {
// highlight-next-line
userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/google.js"
}
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
},
}
// ...
```
And implement the imported function.
```js title=src/auth/google.js
export const userSignupFields = {
isSignupComplete: () => false,
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "My App",
auth: {
userEntity: User,
methods: {
google: {
// highlight-next-line
userSignupFields: import { userSignupFields } from "@src/auth/google.js"
}
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
},
}
// ...
```
And implement the imported function:
```ts title=src/auth/google.ts
import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'
export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
isSignupComplete: () => false,
})
```
<GetUserFieldsType />
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
#### 3. Showing the Correct State on the Client
You can query the user's `isSignupComplete` flag on the client with the [`useAuth()`](../../auth/overview) hook.
Depending on the flag's value, you can redirect users to the appropriate signup step.
For example:
1. When the user lands on the homepage, check the value of `user.isSignupComplete`.
2. If it's `false`, it means the user has started the signup process but hasn't yet chosen their username. Therefore, you can redirect them to `EditUserDetailsPage` where they can edit the `username` property.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title=src/HomePage.jsx
import { useAuth } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { Redirect } from 'react-router-dom'
export function HomePage() {
const { data: user } = useAuth()
if (user.isSignupComplete === false) {
return <Redirect to="/edit-user-details" />
}
// ...
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title=src/HomePage.tsx
import { useAuth } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { Redirect } from 'react-router-dom'
export function HomePage() {
const { data: user } = useAuth()
if (user.isSignupComplete === false) {
return <Redirect to="/edit-user-details" />
}
// ...
}
```
The same general principle applies to more complex signup procedures, just change the boolean `isSignupComplete` property to a property like `currentSignupStep` that can hold more values.
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Using the User's Provider Account Details
Account details are provider-specific.
Each provider has their own rules for defining the `userSignupFields` and `configFn` fields:
<SocialAuthGrid pagePart="#overrides" />
## UI Helpers
:::tip Use Auth UI
[Auth UI](../../auth/ui) is a common name for all high-level auth forms that come with Wasp.
These include fully functional auto-generated login and signup forms with working social login buttons.
If you're looking for the fastest way to get your auth up and running, that's where you should look.
The UI helpers described below are lower-level and are useful for creating your custom forms.
:::
Wasp provides sign-in buttons and URLs for each of the supported social login providers.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title=src/LoginPage.jsx
import {
GoogleSignInButton,
googleSignInUrl,
GitHubSignInButton,
gitHubSignInUrl,
} from 'wasp/client/auth'
export const LoginPage = () => {
return (
<>
<GoogleSignInButton />
<GitHubSignInButton />
{/* or */}
<a href={googleSignInUrl}>Sign in with Google</a>
<a href={gitHubSignInUrl}>Sign in with GitHub</a>
</>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title=src/LoginPage.tsx
import {
GoogleSignInButton,
googleSignInUrl,
GitHubSignInButton,
gitHubSignInUrl,
} from 'wasp/client/auth'
export const LoginPage = () => {
return (
<>
<GoogleSignInButton />
<GitHubSignInButton />
{/* or */}
<a href={googleSignInUrl}>Sign in with Google</a>
<a href={gitHubSignInUrl}>Sign in with GitHub</a>
</>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
If you need even more customization, you can create your custom components using `signInUrl`s.

title: Auth UI
---
import { EmailPill, UsernameAndPasswordPill, GithubPill, GooglePill, KeycloakPill } from "./Pills";
To make using authentication in your app as easy as possible, Wasp generates the server-side code but also the client-side UI for you. It enables you to quickly get the login, signup, password reset and email verification flows in your app.
Below we cover all of the available UI components and how to use them.
![Auth UI](/img/authui/all_screens.gif)
## Overview
After Wasp generates the UI components for your auth, you can use it as is, or customize it to your liking.
Based on the authentication providers you enabled in your `main.wasp` file, the Auth UI will show the corresponding UI (form and buttons). For example, if you enabled e-mail authentication:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp {5} title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
//...
auth: {
methods: {
email: {},
},
// ...
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp {5} title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
//...
auth: {
methods: {
email: {},
},
// ...
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
You'll get the following UI:
![Auth UI](/img/authui/login.png)
And then if you enable Google and Github:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp" {6-7}
app MyApp {
//...
auth: {
methods: {
email: {},
google: {},
github: {},
},
// ...
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp" {6-7}
app MyApp {
//...
auth: {
methods: {
email: {},
google: {},
github: {},
},
// ...
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The form will automatically update to look like this:
![Auth UI](/img/authui/multiple_providers.png)
Let's go through all of the available components and how to use them.
## Auth Components
The following components are available for you to use in your app:
- [Login form](#login-form)
- [Signup form](#signup-form)
- [Forgot password form](#forgot-password-form)
- [Reset password form](#reset-password-form)
- [Verify email form](#verify-email-form)
### Login Form
Used with <UsernameAndPasswordPill />, <EmailPill />, <GithubPill />, <GooglePill /> and <KeycloakPill /> authentication.
![Login form](/img/authui/login.png)
You can use the `LoginForm` component to build your login page:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { LoginPage } from "@src/LoginPage.jsx"
}
```
```tsx title="src/LoginPage.jsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
// Use it like this
export function LoginPage() {
return <LoginForm />
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { LoginPage } from "@src/LoginPage.tsx"
}
```
```tsx title="src/LoginPage.tsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
// Use it like this
export function LoginPage() {
return <LoginForm />
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
It will automatically show the correct authentication providers based on your `main.wasp` file.
### Signup Form
Used with <UsernameAndPasswordPill />, <EmailPill />, <GithubPill />, <GooglePill /> and <KeycloakPill /> authentication.
![Signup form](/img/authui/signup.png)
You can use the `SignupForm` component to build your signup page:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
route SignupRoute { path: "/signup", to: SignupPage }
page SignupPage {
component: import { SignupPage } from "@src/SignupPage.jsx"
}
```
```tsx title="src/SignupPage.jsx"
import { SignupForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
// Use it like this
export function SignupPage() {
return <SignupForm />
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
route SignupRoute { path: "/signup", to: SignupPage }
page SignupPage {
component: import { SignupPage } from "@src/SignupPage.tsx"
}
```
```tsx title="src/SignupPage.tsx"
import { SignupForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
// Use it like this
export function SignupPage() {
return <SignupForm />
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
It will automatically show the correct authentication providers based on your `main.wasp` file.
Read more about customizing the signup process like adding additional fields or extra UI in the [Auth Overview](../auth/overview#customizing-the-signup-process) section.
### Forgot Password Form
Used with <EmailPill /> authentication.
If users forget their password, they can use this form to reset it.
![Forgot password form](/img/authui/forgot_password.png)
You can use the `ForgotPasswordForm` component to build your own forgot password page:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
route RequestPasswordResetRoute { path: "/request-password-reset", to: RequestPasswordResetPage }
page RequestPasswordResetPage {
component: import { ForgotPasswordPage } from "@src/ForgotPasswordPage.jsx"
}
```
```tsx title="src/ForgotPasswordPage.jsx"
import { ForgotPasswordForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
// Use it like this
export function ForgotPasswordPage() {
return <ForgotPasswordForm />
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
route RequestPasswordResetRoute { path: "/request-password-reset", to: RequestPasswordResetPage }
page RequestPasswordResetPage {
component: import { ForgotPasswordPage } from "@src/ForgotPasswordPage.tsx"
}
```
```tsx title="src/ForgotPasswordPage.tsx"
import { ForgotPasswordForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
// Use it like this
export function ForgotPasswordPage() {
return <ForgotPasswordForm />
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Reset Password Form
Used with <EmailPill /> authentication.
After users click on the link in the email they receive after submitting the forgot password form, they will be redirected to this form where they can reset their password.
![Reset password form](/img/authui/reset_password.png)
You can use the `ResetPasswordForm` component to build your reset password page:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
route PasswordResetRoute { path: "/password-reset", to: PasswordResetPage }
page PasswordResetPage {
component: import { ResetPasswordPage } from "@src/ResetPasswordPage.jsx"
}
```
```tsx title="src/ResetPasswordPage.jsx"
import { ResetPasswordForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
// Use it like this
export function ResetPasswordPage() {
return <ResetPasswordForm />
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
route PasswordResetRoute { path: "/password-reset", to: PasswordResetPage }
page PasswordResetPage {
component: import { ResetPasswordPage } from "@src/ResetPasswordPage.tsx"
}
```
```tsx title="src/ResetPasswordPage.tsx"
import { ResetPasswordForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
// Use it like this
export function ResetPasswordPage() {
return <ResetPasswordForm />
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Verify Email Form
Used with <EmailPill /> authentication.
After users sign up, they will receive an email with a link to this form where they can verify their email.
![Verify email form](/img/authui/email_verification.png)
You can use the `VerifyEmailForm` component to build your email verification page:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
route EmailVerificationRoute { path: "/email-verification", to: EmailVerificationPage }
page EmailVerificationPage {
component: import { VerifyEmailPage } from "@src/VerifyEmailPage.jsx"
}
```
```tsx title="src/VerifyEmailPage.jsx"
import { VerifyEmailForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
// Use it like this
export function VerifyEmailPage() {
return <VerifyEmailForm />
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
route EmailVerificationRoute { path: "/email-verification", to: EmailVerificationPage }
page EmailVerificationPage {
component: import { VerifyEmailPage } from "@src/VerifyEmailPage.tsx"
}
```
```tsx title="src/VerifyEmailPage.tsx"
import { VerifyEmailForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
// Use it like this
export function VerifyEmailPage() {
return <VerifyEmailForm />
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## Customization 💅🏻
You customize all of the available forms by passing props to them.
Props you can pass to all of the forms:
1. `appearance` - customize the form colors (via design tokens)
2. `logo` - path to your logo
3. `socialLayout` - layout of the social buttons, which can be `vertical` or `horizontal`
### 1. Customizing the Colors
We use [Stitches](https://stitches.dev/) to style the Auth UI. You can customize the styles by overriding the default theme tokens.
:::info List of all available tokens
See the [list of all available tokens](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/blob/release/waspc/data/Generator/templates/react-app/src/stitches.config.js) which you can override.
:::
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/appearance.js"
export const authAppearance = {
colors: {
brand: '#5969b8', // blue
brandAccent: '#de5998', // pink
submitButtonText: 'white',
},
}
```
```jsx title="src/LoginPage.jsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { authAppearance } from './appearance'
export function LoginPage() {
return (
<LoginForm
// Pass the appearance object to the form
appearance={authAppearance}
/>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/appearance.ts"
import type { CustomizationOptions } from 'wasp/client/auth'
export const authAppearance: CustomizationOptions['appearance'] = {
colors: {
brand: '#5969b8', // blue
brandAccent: '#de5998', // pink
submitButtonText: 'white',
},
}
```
```tsx title="src/LoginPage.tsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { authAppearance } from './appearance'
export function LoginPage() {
return (
<LoginForm
// Pass the appearance object to the form
appearance={authAppearance}
/>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
We recommend defining your appearance in a separate file and importing it into your components.
### 2. Using Your Logo
You can add your logo to the Auth UI by passing the `logo` prop to any of the components.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```tsx title="src/LoginPage.jsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import Logo from './logo.png'
export function LoginPage() {
return (
<LoginForm
// Pass in the path to your logo
logo={Logo}
/>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/LoginPage.tsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import Logo from './logo.png'
export function LoginPage() {
return (
<LoginForm
// Pass in the path to your logo
logo={Logo}
/>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### 3. Social Buttons Layout
You can change the layout of the social buttons by passing the `socialLayout` prop to any of the components. It can be either `vertical` or `horizontal` (default).
If we pass in `vertical`:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```tsx title="src/LoginPage.jsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
export function LoginPage() {
return (
<LoginForm
// Pass in the socialLayout prop
socialLayout="vertical"
/>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/LoginPage.tsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
export function LoginPage() {
return (
<LoginForm
// Pass in the socialLayout prop
socialLayout="vertical"
/>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
We get this:
![Vertical social buttons](/img/authui/vertical_social_buttons.png)
### Let's Put Everything Together 🪄
If we provide the logo and custom colors:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```ts title="src/appearance.js"
export const appearance = {
colors: {
brand: '#5969b8', // blue
brandAccent: '#de5998', // pink
submitButtonText: 'white',
},
}
```
```tsx title="src/LoginPage.jsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { authAppearance } from './appearance'
import todoLogo from './todoLogo.png'
export function LoginPage() {
return <LoginForm appearance={appearance} logo={todoLogo} />
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/appearance.ts"
import type { CustomizationOptions } from 'wasp/client/auth'
export const appearance: CustomizationOptions['appearance'] = {
colors: {
brand: '#5969b8', // blue
brandAccent: '#de5998', // pink
submitButtonText: 'white',
},
}
```
```tsx title="src/LoginPage.tsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { authAppearance } from './appearance'
import todoLogo from './todoLogo.png'
export function LoginPage() {
return <LoginForm appearance={appearance} logo={todoLogo} />
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
We get a form looking like this:
<div style={{ textAlign: 'center' }}>
<img src="/img/authui/custom_login.gif" alt="Custom login form" />
</div>

Wasp supports username & password authentication out of the box with login and signup flows. It provides you with the server-side implementation and the UI components for the client-side.
## Setting Up Username & Password Authentication
To set up username authentication we need to:
1. Enable username authentication in the Wasp file
1. Add the `User` entity
1. Add the auth routes and pages
1. Use Auth UI components in our pages
Structure of the `main.wasp` file we will end up with:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// Configuring e-mail authentication
app myApp {
auth: { ... }
}
// Defining User entity
entity User { ... }
// Defining routes and pages
route SignupRoute { ... }
page SignupPage { ... }
// ...
```
### 1. Enable Username Authentication
Let's start with adding the following to our `main.wasp` file:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp" {11}
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "My App",
auth: {
// 1. Specify the user entity (we'll define it next)
userEntity: User,
methods: {
// 2. Enable username authentication
usernameAndPassword: {},
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp" {11}
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "My App",
auth: {
// 1. Specify the user entity (we'll define it next)
userEntity: User,
methods: {
// 2. Enable username authentication
usernameAndPassword: {},
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Read more about the `usernameAndPassword` auth method options [here](#fields-in-the-usernameandpassword-dict).
### 2. Add the User Entity
The `User` entity can be as simple as including only the `id` field:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// 3. Define the user entity
entity User {=psl
// highlight-next-line
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
// Add your own fields below
// ...
psl=}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// 3. Define the user entity
entity User {=psl
// highlight-next-line
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
// Add your own fields below
// ...
psl=}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
<ReadMoreAboutAuthEntities />
### 3. Add the Routes and Pages
Next, we need to define the routes and pages for the authentication pages.
Add the following to the `main.wasp` file:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
// 4. Define the routes
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { Login } from "@src/pages/auth.jsx"
}
route SignupRoute { path: "/signup", to: SignupPage }
page SignupPage {
component: import { Signup } from "@src/pages/auth.jsx"
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
// 4. Define the routes
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { Login } from "@src/pages/auth.tsx"
}
route SignupRoute { path: "/signup", to: SignupPage }
page SignupPage {
component: import { Signup } from "@src/pages/auth.tsx"
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
We'll define the React components for these pages in the `src/pages/auth.{jsx,tsx}` file below.
### 4. Create the Client Pages
:::info
We are using [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) to style the pages. Read more about how to add it [here](../project/css-frameworks).
:::
Let's create a `auth.{jsx,tsx}` file in the `src/pages` folder and add the following to it:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```tsx title="src/pages/auth.jsx"
import { LoginForm, SignupForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
export function Login() {
return (
<Layout>
<LoginForm />
<br />
<span className="text-sm font-medium text-gray-900">
Don't have an account yet? <Link to="/signup">go to signup</Link>.
</span>
</Layout>
);
}
export function Signup() {
return (
<Layout>
<SignupForm />
<br />
<span className="text-sm font-medium text-gray-900">
I already have an account (<Link to="/login">go to login</Link>).
</span>
</Layout>
);
}
// A layout component to center the content
export function Layout({ children }) {
return (
<div className="w-full h-full bg-white">
<div className="min-w-full min-h-[75vh] flex items-center justify-center">
<div className="w-full h-full max-w-sm p-5 bg-white">
<div>{children}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/pages/auth.tsx"
import { LoginForm, SignupForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
export function Login() {
return (
<Layout>
<LoginForm />
<br />
<span className="text-sm font-medium text-gray-900">
Don't have an account yet? <Link to="/signup">go to signup</Link>.
</span>
</Layout>
);
}
export function Signup() {
return (
<Layout>
<SignupForm />
<br />
<span className="text-sm font-medium text-gray-900">
I already have an account (<Link to="/login">go to login</Link>).
</span>
</Layout>
);
}
// A layout component to center the content
export function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
return (
<div className="w-full h-full bg-white">
<div className="min-w-full min-h-[75vh] flex items-center justify-center">
<div className="w-full h-full max-w-sm p-5 bg-white">
<div>{children}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
We imported the generated Auth UI components and used them in our pages. Read more about the Auth UI components [here](../auth/ui).
### Conclusion
That's it! We have set up username authentication in our app. 🎉
Running `wasp db migrate-dev` and then `wasp start` should give you a working app with username authentication. If you want to put some of the pages behind authentication, read the [auth overview docs](../auth/overview).
<MultipleIdentitiesWarning />
## Customizing the Auth Flow
The login and signup flows are pretty standard: they allow the user to sign up and then log in with their username and password. The signup flow validates the username and password and then creates a new user entity in the database.
Read more about the default username and password validation rules in the [auth overview docs](../auth/overview#default-validations).
If you require more control in your authentication flow, you can achieve that in the following ways:
1. Create your UI and use `signup` and `login` actions.
1. Create your custom sign-up action which uses the lower-level API, along with your custom code.
### 1. Using the `signup` and `login` actions
#### `login()`
An action for logging in the user.
It takes two arguments:
- `username: string` <Required />
Username of the user logging in.
- `password: string` <Required />
Password of the user logging in.
You can use it like this:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/pages/auth.jsx"
import { login } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { useState } from 'react'
import { useHistory, Link } from 'react-router-dom'
export function LoginPage() {
const [username, setUsername] = useState('')
const [password, setPassword] = useState('')
const [error, setError] = useState(null)
const history = useHistory()
async function handleSubmit(event) {
event.preventDefault()
try {
await login(username, password)
history.push('/')
} catch (error) {
setError(error)
}
}
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
{/* ... */}
</form>
);
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/pages/auth.tsx"
import { login } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { useState } from 'react'
import { useHistory, Link } from 'react-router-dom'
export function LoginPage() {
const [username, setUsername] = useState('')
const [password, setPassword] = useState('')
const [error, setError] = useState<Error | null>(null)

}
}
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
{/* ... */}
</form>
);
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
:::note
When using the exposed `login()` function, make sure to implement your redirect on success login logic (e.g. redirecting to home).
:::
#### `signup()`
An action for signing up the user. This action does not log in the user, you still need to call `login()`.
It takes one argument:
- `userFields: object` <Required />
It has the following fields:
- `username: string` <Required />
- `password: string` <Required />
:::info
By default, Wasp will only save the `username` and `password` fields. If you want to add extra fields to your signup process, read about [defining extra signup fields](../auth/overview#customizing-the-signup-process).
:::
You can use it like this:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/pages/auth.jsx"
import { signup, login } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { useState } from 'react'

### 2. Creating your custom sign-up action
The code of your custom sign-up action can look like this:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
action customSignup {
fn: import { signup } from "@src/auth/signup.js",
}
```
```js title="src/auth/signup.js"
import {
ensurePasswordIsPresent,
ensureValidPassword,
ensureValidUsername,
createProviderId,
sanitizeAndSerializeProviderData,
createUser,
} from 'wasp/server/auth'
export const signup = async (args, _context) => {
ensureValidUsername(args)
ensurePasswordIsPresent(args)
ensureValidPassword(args)
try {
const providerId = createProviderId('username', args.username)
const providerData = await sanitizeAndSerializeProviderData({
hashedPassword: args.password,
})
await createUser(
providerId,
providerData,
// Any additional data you want to store on the User entity
{},
)
} catch (e) {
return {
success: false,
message: e.message,
}
}
// Your custom code after sign-up.
// ...
return {
success: true,
message: 'User created successfully',
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
action customSignup {
fn: import { signup } from "@src/auth/signup.js",
}
```
```ts title="src/auth/signup.ts"
import {
ensurePasswordIsPresent,
ensureValidPassword,
ensureValidUsername,
createProviderId,
sanitizeAndSerializeProviderData,
createUser,
} from 'wasp/server/auth'
import type { CustomSignup } from 'wasp/server/operations'
type CustomSignupInput = {
username: string
password: string
}
type CustomSignupOutput = {
success: boolean
message: string
}
export const signup: CustomSignup<
CustomSignupInput,
CustomSignupOutput
> = async (args, _context) => {
ensureValidUsername(args)
ensurePasswordIsPresent(args)
ensureValidPassword(args)
try {
const providerId = createProviderId('username', args.username)
const providerData = await sanitizeAndSerializeProviderData<'username'>({
hashedPassword: args.password,
})
await createUser(
providerId,
providerData,
// Any additional data you want to store on the User entity
{},
)
} catch (e) {
return {
success: false,
message: e.message,
}
}
// Your custom code after sign-up.
// ...
return {
success: true,
message: 'User created successfully',
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
We suggest using the built-in field validators for your authentication flow. You can import them from `wasp/server/auth`. These are the same validators that Wasp uses internally for the default authentication flow.
#### Username
- `ensureValidUsername(args)`
Checks if the username is valid and throws an error if it's not. Read more about the validation rules [here](../auth/overview#default-validations).
#### Password
- `ensurePasswordIsPresent(args)`
Checks if the password is present and throws an error if it's not.
- `ensureValidPassword(args)`
Checks if the password is valid and throws an error if it's not. Read more about the validation rules [here](../auth/overview#default-validations).
## Using Auth
To read more about how to set up the logout button and how to get access to the logged-in user in our client and server code, read the [auth overview docs](../auth/overview).
### `getUsername`
If you are looking to access the user's username in your code, you can do that by accessing the info about the user that is stored in the `user.auth.identities` array.
To make things a bit easier for you, Wasp offers the `getUsername` helper.
<GetUsername />

Some side notes to make your journey easier:
1. Join us on <DiscordLink /> and let's talk! We can discuss language design, new/existing features, and weather, or you can tell us how you feel about Wasp :).
2. Wasp's compiler is built with Haskell. That means you'll need to be somewhat familiar with this language if you'd like to contribute to the compiler itself. But Haskell is just a part of Wasp, and you can contribute to lot of parts that require web dev skills, either by coding or by suggesting how to improve Wasp and its design as a web framework. If you don't have Haskell knowledge (or any dev experience at all) - no problem. There are a lot of JS-related tasks and documentation updates as well!
3. If there's something you'd like to bring to our attention, go to [docs GitHub repo](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp) and make an issue/PR!

title: Databases
---
import { Required } from '@site/src/components/Tag'
[Entities](../data-model/entities.md), [Operations](../data-model/operations/overview) and [Automatic CRUD](../data-model/crud.md) together make a high-level interface for working with your app's data. Still, all that data has to live somewhere, so let's see how Wasp deals with databases.
## Supported Database Backends
Wasp supports multiple database backends. We'll list and explain each one.
### SQLite
The default database Wasp uses is [SQLite](https://www.sqlite.org/index.html).
SQLite is a great way for getting started with a new project because it doesn't require any configuration, but Wasp can only use it in development. Once you want to deploy your Wasp app to production, you'll need to switch to PostgreSQL and stick with it.
Fortunately, migrating from SQLite to PostgreSQL is pretty simple, and we have [a guide](#migrating-from-sqlite-to-postgresql) to help you.
### PostgreSQL
[PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/) is the most advanced open-source database and one of the most popular databases overall.
It's been in active development for 20+ years.
Therefore, if you're looking for a battle-tested database, look no further.
To use Wasp with PostgreSQL, you'll have to ensure a database instance is running during development. Wasp needs access to your database for commands such as `wasp start` or `wasp db migrate-dev` and expects to find a connection string in the `DATABASE_URL` environment variable.
We cover all supported ways of connecting to a database in [the next section](#connecting-to-a-database).
### Migrating from SQLite to PostgreSQL
To run your Wasp app in production, you'll need to switch from SQLite to PostgreSQL.
1. Set the `app.db.system` field to PostgreSQL.
```wasp title=main.wasp
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
db: {
system: PostgreSQL,
// ...
}
}
```
2. Delete all the old migrations, since they are SQLite migrations and can't be used with PostgreSQL, as well as the SQLite database by running [`wasp clean`](https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/general/cli#project-commands):
```bash
rm -r migrations/
wasp clean
```
3. Ensure your new database is running (check the [section on connecting to a database](#connecting-to-a-database) to see how). Leave it running, since we need it for the next step.
4. In a different terminal, run `wasp db migrate-dev` to apply the changes and create a new initial migration.
5. That is it, you are all done!
## Connecting to a Database
Assuming you're not using SQLite, Wasp offers two ways of connecting your app to a database instance:
1. A ready-made dev database that requires minimal setup and is great for quick prototyping.
2. A "real" database Wasp can connect to and use in production.
### Using the Dev Database Provided by Wasp
The command `wasp start db` will start a default PostgreSQL dev database for you.
Your Wasp app will automatically connect to it, just keep `wasp start db` running in the background.
Also, make sure that:
- You have [Docker installed](https://www.docker.com/get-started/) and in `PATH`.
- The port `5432` isn't taken.
### Connecting to an existing database
If you want to spin up your own dev database (or connect to an external one), you can tell Wasp about it using the `DATABASE_URL` environment variable. Wasp will use the value of `DATABASE_URL` as a connection string.
The easiest way to set the necessary `DATABASE_URL` environment variable is by adding it to the [.env.server](../project/env-vars) file in the root dir of your Wasp project (if that file doesn't yet exist, create it).
Alternatively, you can set it inline when running `wasp` (this applies to all environment variables):
```bash
DATABASE_URL=<my-db-url> wasp ...
```
This trick is useful for running a certain `wasp` command on a specific database.
For example, you could do:
```bash
DATABASE_URL=<production-db-url> wasp db seed myProductionSeed
```
This command seeds the data for a fresh staging or production database.
To more precisely understand how seeding works, keep reading.
## Seeding the Database
**Database seeding** is a term used for populating the database with some initial data.
Seeding is most commonly used for two following scenarios:
1. To put the development database into a state convenient for working and testing.
2. To initialize any database (`dev`, `staging`, or `prod`) with essential data it requires to operate.
For example, populating the Currency table with default currencies, or the Country table with all available countries.
### Writing a Seed Function
You can define as many **seed functions** as you want in an array under the `app.db.seeds` field:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp
app MyApp {
// ...
db: {
// ...
seeds: [
import { devSeedSimple } from "@src/dbSeeds.js",
import { prodSeed } from "@src/dbSeeds.js"
]
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp
app MyApp {
// ...
db: {
// ...
seeds: [
import { devSeedSimple } from "@src/dbSeeds.js",
import { prodSeed } from "@src/dbSeeds.js"
]
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Each seed function must be an async function that takes one argument, `prisma`, which is a [Prisma Client](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-client/crud) instance used to interact with the database.
This is the same Prisma Client instance that Wasp uses internally and thus includes all of the usual features (e.g., password hashing).
Since a seed function falls under server-side code, it can import other server-side functions. This is convenient because you might want to seed the database using Actions.
Here's an example of a seed function that imports an Action:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js
import { createTask } from './actions.js'
import { sanitizeAndSerializeProviderData } from 'wasp/server/auth'
export const devSeedSimple = async (prisma) => {
const user = await createUser(prisma, {
username: 'RiuTheDog',
password: 'bark1234',
})
await createTask(
{ description: 'Chase the cat' },
{ user, entities: { Task: prisma.task } }
)
}
async function createUser(prisma, data) {
const newUser = await prisma.user.create({
data: {
auth: {
create: {
identities: {
create: {
providerName: 'username',
providerUserId: data.username,
providerData: sanitizeAndSerializeProviderData({
hashedPassword: data.password
}),
},
},
},
},
},
})
return newUser
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts
import { createTask } from './actions.js'
import { sanitizeAndSerializeProviderData } from 'wasp/server/auth'
import { type AuthUser } from 'wasp/auth'
import { PrismaClient } from '@prisma/client'
export const devSeedSimple = async (prisma: PrismaClient) => {
const user = await createUser(prisma, {
username: 'RiuTheDog',
password: 'bark1234',
})
await createTask(
{ description: 'Chase the cat', isDone: false },
{ user, entities: { Task: prisma.task } }
)
};
async function createUser(
prisma: PrismaClient,
data: { username: string, password: string }
): Promise<AuthUser> {
const newUser = await prisma.user.create({
data: {
auth: {
create: {
identities: {
create: {
providerName: 'username',
providerUserId: data.username,
providerData: sanitizeAndSerializeProviderData<'username'>({
hashedPassword: data.password
}),
},
},
},
},
},
})
return newUser
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Running seed functions
Run the command `wasp db seed` and Wasp will ask you which seed function you'd like to run (if you've defined more than one).
Alternatively, run the command `wasp db seed <seed-name>` to choose a specific seed function right away, for example:
```
wasp db seed devSeedSimple
```
Check the [API Reference](#cli-commands-for-seeding-the-database) for more details on these commands.
:::tip
You'll often want to call `wasp db seed` right after you run `wasp db reset`, as it makes sense to fill the database with initial data after clearing it.
:::
## Prisma Configuration
Wasp uses [Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/) to interact with the database. Prisma is a "Next-generation Node.js and TypeScript ORM" that provides a type-safe API for working with your database.
### Prisma Preview Features
Prisma is still in active development and some of its features are not yet stable. To use them, you have to enable them in the `app.db.prisma.clientPreviewFeatures` field:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
// ...
db: {
system: PostgreSQL,
prisma: {
clientPreviewFeatures: ["postgresqlExtensions"]
}
}
}
```
<small>
Read more about Prisma preview features in the [Prisma docs](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/preview-features/client-preview-features).
</small>
### PostgreSQL Extensions
PostgreSQL supports [extensions](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/contrib.html) that add additional functionality to the database. For example, the [hstore](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/hstore.html) extension adds support for storing key-value pairs in a single column.
To use PostgreSQL extensions with Prisma, you have to enable them in the `app.db.prisma.dbExtensions` field:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
// ...
db: {
system: PostgreSQL,
prisma: {
clientPreviewFeatures: ["postgresqlExtensions"]
dbExtensions: [
{ name: "hstore", schema: "myHstoreSchema" },
{ name: "pg_trgm" },
{ name: "postgis", version: "2.1" },
]
}
}
}
```
<small>
Read more about PostgreSQL configuration in Wasp in the [API Reference](#the-appdb-field).
</small>
## API Reference
You can tell Wasp which database to use in the `app` declaration's `db` field:
### The `app.db` Field
Here's an example that uses the `app.db` field to its full potential:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
db: {
system: PostgreSQL,
seeds: [
import devSeed from "@src/dbSeeds.js"
],
prisma: {
clientPreviewFeatures: ["extendedWhereUnique"]
}
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
db: {
system: PostgreSQL,
seeds: [
import devSeed from "@src/dbSeeds.js"
],
prisma: {
clientPreviewFeatures: ["extendedWhereUnique"]
}
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
`app.db` is a dictionary with the following fields (all fields are optional):
- `system: DbSystem`
The database system Wasp should use. It can be either PostgreSQL or SQLite.
The default value for the field is SQLite (this default value also applies if the entire `db` field is left unset).
Whenever you modify the `db.system` field, make sure to run `wasp db migrate-dev` to apply the changes.
- `seeds: [ExtImport]`
Defines the seed functions you can use with the `wasp db seed` command to seed your database with initial data.
Read the [Seeding section](#seeding-the-database) for more details.
- `prisma: PrismaOptions`
Additional configuration for Prisma.
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
// ...
db: {
// ...
prisma: {
clientPreviewFeatures: ["postgresqlExtensions"],
dbExtensions: [
{ name: "hstore", schema: "myHstoreSchema" },
{ name: "pg_trgm" },
{ name: "postgis", version: "2.1" },
]
}
}
}
```
It's a dictionary with the following fields:
- `clientPreviewFeatures : [string]`
Allows you to define [Prisma client preview features](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/preview-features/client-preview-features), like for example, `"postgresqlExtensions"`.
- `dbExtensions: DbExtension[]`
It allows you to define PostgreSQL extensions that should be enabled for your database. Read more about [PostgreSQL extensions in Prisma](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-schema/postgresql-extensions).
For each extension you define a dict with the following fields:
- `name: string` <Required />
The name of the extension you would normally put in the Prisma file.
```prisma title="schema.prisma"
extensions = [hstore(schema: "myHstoreSchema"), pg_trgm, postgis(version: "2.1")]
// 👆 Extension name
```
- `map: string`
It sets the `map` argument of the extension. Explanation for the field from the Prisma docs:
> This is the database name of the extension. If this argument is not specified, the name of the extension in the Prisma schema must match the database name.
- `schema: string`
It sets the `schema` argument of the extension. Explanation for the field from the Prisma docs:
> This is the name of the schema in which to activate the extension's objects. If this argument is not specified, the current default object creation schema is used.
- `version: string`
It sets the `version` argument of the extension. Explanation for the field from the Prisma docs:
> This is the version of the extension to activate. If this argument is not specified, the value given in the extension's control file is used.
### CLI Commands for Seeding the Database
Use one of the following commands to run the seed functions:
- `wasp db seed`
If you've only defined a single seed function, this command runs it. If you've defined multiple seed functions, it asks you to choose one interactively.
- `wasp db seed <seed-name>`
This command runs the seed function with the specified name. The name is the identifier used in its `import` expression in the `app.db.seeds` list.
For example, to run the seed function `devSeedSimple` which was defined like this:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp
app MyApp {
// ...
db: {
// ...
seeds: [
// ...
import { devSeedSimple } from "@src/dbSeeds.js",
]
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title=main.wasp
app MyApp {
// ...
db: {
// ...
seeds: [
// ...
import { devSeedSimple } from "@src/dbSeeds.js",
]
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Use the following command:
```
wasp db seed devSeedSimple
```

title: Automatic CRUD
---
import { Required } from '@site/src/components/Tag';
import { ShowForTs } from '@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers';
import ImgWithCaption from '@site/blog/components/ImgWithCaption'
If you have a lot of experience writing full-stack apps, you probably ended up doing some of the same things many times: listing data, adding data, editing it, and deleting it.
Wasp makes handling these boring bits easy by offering a higher-level concept called Automatic CRUD.
With a single declaration, you can tell Wasp to automatically generate server-side logic (i.e., Queries and Actions) for creating, reading, updating and deleting [Entities](../data-model/entities). As you update definitions for your Entities, Wasp automatically regenerates the backend logic.
:::caution Early preview
This feature is currently in early preview and we are actively working on it. Read more about [our plans](#future-of-crud-operations-in-wasp) for CRUD operations.
:::
## Overview
Imagine we have a `Task` entity and we want to enable CRUD operations for it.
```wasp title="main.wasp"
entity Task {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
description String
isDone Boolean
psl=}
```
We can then define a new `crud` called `Tasks`.
We specify to use the `Task` entity and we enable the `getAll`, `get`, `create` and `update` operations (let's say we don't need the `delete` operation).
```wasp title="main.wasp"
crud Tasks {
entity: Task,
operations: {
getAll: {
isPublic: true, // by default only logged in users can perform operations
},
get: {},
create: {
overrideFn: import { createTask } from "@src/tasks.js",
},
update: {},
},
}
```
1. It uses default implementation for `getAll`, `get`, and `update`,
2. ... while specifying a custom implementation for `create`.
3. `getAll` will be public (no auth needed), while the rest of the operations will be private.
Here's what it looks like when visualized:
<ImgWithCaption alt="Automatic CRUD with Wasp" source="img/crud_diagram.png" caption="Visualization of the Tasks crud declaration"/>
We can now use the CRUD queries and actions we just specified in our client code.
Keep reading for an example of Automatic CRUD in action, or skip ahead for the [API Reference](#api-reference)
## Example: A Simple TODO App
Let's create a full-app example that uses automatic CRUD. We'll stick to using the `Task` entity from the previous example, but we'll add a `User` entity and enable [username and password](../auth/username-and-pass) based auth.
<ImgWithCaption alt="Automatic CRUD with Wasp" source="img/crud-guide.gif" caption="We are building a simple tasks app with username based auth"/>
### Creating the App
We can start by running `wasp new tasksCrudApp` and then adding the following to the `main.wasp` file:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app tasksCrudApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "Tasks Crud App",
// We enabled auth and set the auth method to username and password
auth: {
userEntity: User,
methods: {
usernameAndPassword: {},
},
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login",
},
}
entity User {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
tasks Task[]
psl=}
// We defined a Task entity on which we'll enable CRUD later on
entity Task {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
description String
isDone Boolean
userId Int
user User @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
psl=}
// Tasks app routes
route RootRoute { path: "/", to: MainPage }
page MainPage {
component: import { MainPage } from "@src/MainPage.jsx",
authRequired: true,
}
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { LoginPage } from "@src/LoginPage.jsx",
}
route SignupRoute { path: "/signup", to: SignupPage }
page SignupPage {
component: import { SignupPage } from "@src/SignupPage.jsx",
}
```
We can then run `wasp db migrate-dev` to create the database and run the migrations.
### Adding CRUD to the `Task` Entity ✨
Let's add the following `crud` declaration to our `main.wasp` file:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
crud Tasks {
entity: Task,
operations: {
getAll: {},
create: {
overrideFn: import { createTask } from "@src/tasks.js",
},
},
}
```
You'll notice that we enabled only `getAll` and `create` operations. This means that only these operations will be available.
We also overrode the `create` operation with a custom implementation. This means that the `create` operation will not be generated, but instead, the `createTask` function from `@src/tasks.js` will be used.
### Our Custom `create` Operation
Here's the `src/tasks.{js,ts}` file:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title=src/tasks.js
import { HttpError } from 'wasp/server'
export const createTask = async (args, context) => {
if (!context.user) {
throw new HttpError(401, 'User not authenticated.')
}
const { description, isDone } = args
const { Task } = context.entities
return await Task.create({
data: {
description,
isDone,
// highlight-start
// Connect the task to the user that is creating it
user: {
connect: {
id: context.user.id,
},
},
// highlight-end
},
})
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title=src/tasks.ts
import { type Tasks } from 'wasp/server/crud'
import { type Task } from 'wasp/entities'
import { HttpError } from 'wasp/server'
type CreateTaskInput = { description: string; isDone: boolean }
export const createTask: Tasks.CreateAction<CreateTaskInput, Task> = async (
args,
context
) => {
if (!context.user) {
throw new HttpError(401, 'User not authenticated.')
}
const { description, isDone } = args
const { Task } = context.entities
return await Task.create({
data: {
description,
isDone,
// highlight-start
// Connect the task to the user that is creating it
user: {
connect: {
id: context.user.id,
},
},
// highlight-end
},
})
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
We made a custom `create` operation because we want to make sure that the task is connected to the user that is creating it.
Automatic CRUD doesn't support this by default (yet!).
Read more about the default implementations [here](#declaring-a-crud-with-default-options).
### Using the Generated CRUD Operations on the Client
And let's use the generated operations in our client code:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/MainPage.jsx"
// highlight-next-line
import { Tasks } from 'wasp/client/crud'
import { useState } from 'react'
export const MainPage = () => {
// highlight-next-line
const { data: tasks, isLoading, error } = Tasks.getAll.useQuery()
// highlight-next-line
const createTask = Tasks.create.useAction()
const [taskDescription, setTaskDescription] = useState('')
function handleCreateTask() {
createTask({ description: taskDescription, isDone: false })
setTaskDescription('')
}
if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>
if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>
return (
<div
style={{
fontSize: '1.5rem',
display: 'grid',
placeContent: 'center',
height: '100vh',
}}
>
<div>
<input
value={taskDescription}
onChange={(e) => setTaskDescription(e.target.value)}
/>
<button onClick={handleCreateTask}>Create task</button>
</div>
<ul>
{tasks.map((task) => (
<li key={task.id}>{task.description}</li>
))}
</ul>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/MainPage.tsx"
// highlight-next-line
import { Tasks } from 'wasp/client/crud'
import { useState } from 'react'
export const MainPage = () => {
// highlight-next-line
// Thanks to full-stack type safety, all payload types are inferred
// highlight-next-line
// automatically
// highlight-next-line
const { data: tasks, isLoading, error } = Tasks.getAll.useQuery()
// highlight-next-line
const createTask = Tasks.create.useAction()
const [taskDescription, setTaskDescription] = useState('')
function handleCreateTask() {
createTask({ description: taskDescription, isDone: false })
setTaskDescription('')
}
if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>
if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>
return (
<div
style={{
fontSize: '1.5rem',
display: 'grid',
placeContent: 'center',
height: '100vh',
}}
>
<div>
<input
value={taskDescription}
onChange={(e) => setTaskDescription(e.target.value)}
/>
<button onClick={handleCreateTask}>Create task</button>
</div>
<ul>
{tasks.map((task) => (
<li key={task.id}>{task.description}</li>
))}
</ul>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
And here are the login and signup pages, where we are using Wasp's [Auth UI](../auth/ui) components:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/LoginPage.jsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
export function LoginPage() {
return (
<div
style={{
display: 'grid',
placeContent: 'center',
}}
>
<LoginForm />
<div>
<Link to="/signup">Create an account</Link>
</div>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/LoginPage.tsx"
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
export function LoginPage() {
return (
<div
style={{
display: 'grid',
placeContent: 'center',
}}
>
<LoginForm />
<div>
<Link to="/signup">Create an account</Link>
</div>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/SignupPage.jsx"
import { SignupForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
export function SignupPage() {
return (
<div
style={{
display: 'grid',
placeContent: 'center',
}}
>
<SignupForm />
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/SignupPage.tsx"
import { SignupForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
export function SignupPage() {
return (
<div
style={{
display: 'grid',
placeContent: 'center',
}}
>
<SignupForm />
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
That's it. You can now run `wasp start` and see the app in action. ⚡️
You should see a login page and a signup page. After you log in, you should see a page with a list of tasks and a form to create new tasks.
## Future of CRUD Operations in Wasp
CRUD operations currently have a limited set of knowledge about the business logic they are implementing.
- For example, they don't know that a task should be connected to the user that is creating it. This is why we had to override the `create` operation in the example above.
- Another thing: they are not aware of the authorization rules. For example, they don't know that a user should not be able to create a task for another user. In the future, we will be adding role-based authorization to Wasp, and we plan to make CRUD operations aware of the authorization rules.
- Another issue is input validation and sanitization. For example, we might want to make sure that the task description is not empty.
CRUD operations are a mechanism for getting a backend up and running quickly, but it depends on the information it can get from the Wasp app. The more information that it can pick up from your app, the more powerful it will be out of the box.
We plan on supporting CRUD operations and growing them to become the easiest way to create your backend. Follow along on [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1253) to see how we are doing.
## API Reference
CRUD declaration work on top of existing entity declaration. We'll fully explore the API using two examples:
1. A basic CRUD declaration that relies on default options.
2. A more involved CRUD declaration that uses extra options and overrides.
### Declaring a CRUD With Default Options
If we create CRUD operations for an entity named `Task`, like this:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
crud Tasks { // crud name here is "Tasks"
entity: Task,
operations: {
get: {},
getAll: {},
create: {},
update: {},
delete: {},
},
}
```
Wasp will give you the following default implementations:
**get** - returns one entity based on the `id` field
```js
// ...
// Wasp uses the field marked with `@id` in Prisma schema as the id field.
return Task.findUnique({ where: { id: args.id } })
```
**getAll** - returns all entities
```js
// ...
// If the operation is not public, Wasp checks if an authenticated user
// is making the request.
return Task.findMany()
```
**create** - creates a new entity
```js
// ...
return Task.create({ data: args.data })
```
**update** - updates an existing entity
```js
// ...
// Wasp uses the field marked with `@id` in Prisma schema as the id field.
return Task.update({ where: { id: args.id }, data: args.data })
```
**delete** - deletes an existing entity
```js
// ...
// Wasp uses the field marked with `@id` in Prisma schema as the id field.
return Task.delete({ where: { id: args.id } })
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
crud Tasks { // crud name here is "Tasks"
entity: Task,
operations: {
get: {},
getAll: {},
create: {},
update: {},
delete: {},
},
}
```
Wasp will give you the following default implementations:
**get** - returns one entity based on the `id` field
```ts
// ...
// Wasp uses the field marked with `@id` in Prisma schema as the id field.
return Task.findUnique({ where: { id: args.id } })
```
**getAll** - returns all entities
```ts
// ...
// If the operation is not public, Wasp checks if an authenticated user
// is making the request.
return Task.findMany()
```
**create** - creates a new entity
```ts
// ...
return Task.create({ data: args.data })
```
**update** - updates an existing entity
```ts
// ...
// Wasp uses the field marked with `@id` in Prisma schema as the id field.
return Task.update({ where: { id: args.id }, data: args.data })
```
**delete** - deletes an existing entity
```ts
// ...
// Wasp uses the field marked with `@id` in Prisma schema as the id field.
return Task.delete({ where: { id: args.id } })
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
:::info Current Limitations
In the default `create` and `update` implementations, we are saving all of the data that the client sends to the server. This is not always desirable, i.e. in the case when the client should not be able to modify all of the data in the entity.
[In the future](#future-of-crud-operations-in-wasp), we are planning to add validation of action input, where only the data that the user is allowed to change will be saved.
For now, the solution is to provide an override function. You can override the default implementation by using the `overrideFn` option and implementing the validation logic yourself.
:::
### Declaring a CRUD With All Available Options
Here's an example of a more complex CRUD declaration:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
crud Tasks { // crud name here is "Tasks"
entity: Task,
operations: {
getAll: {
isPublic: true, // optional, defaults to false
},
get: {},
create: {
overrideFn: import { createTask } from "@src/tasks.js", // optional
},
update: {},
},
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
crud Tasks { // crud name here is "Tasks"
entity: Task,
operations: {
getAll: {
isPublic: true, // optional, defaults to false
},
get: {},
create: {
overrideFn: import { createTask } from "@src/tasks.js", // optional
},
update: {},
},
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The CRUD declaration features the following fields:
- `entity: Entity` <Required />
The entity to which the CRUD operations will be applied.
- `operations: { [operationName]: CrudOperationOptions }` <Required />
The operations to be generated. The key is the name of the operation, and the value is the operation configuration.
- The possible values for `operationName` are:
- `getAll`
- `get`
- `create`
- `update`
- `delete`
- `CrudOperationOptions` can have the following fields:
- `isPublic: bool` - Whether the operation is public or not. If it is public, no auth is required to access it. If it is not public, it will be available only to authenticated users. Defaults to `false`.
- `overrideFn: ExtImport` - The import statement of the optional override implementation in Node.js.
#### Defining the overrides
Like with actions and queries, you can define the implementation in a Javascript/Typescript file. The overrides are functions that take the following arguments:
- `args`
The arguments of the operation i.e. the data sent from the client.
- `context`
Context contains the `user` making the request and the `entities` object with the entity that's being operated on.
<ShowForTs>
You can also import types for each of the functions you want to override by importing the `{crud name}` from `wasp/server/crud`. The available types are:
- `{crud name}.GetAllQuery`
- `{crud name}.GetQuery`
- `{crud name}.CreateAction`
- `{crud name}.UpdateAction`
- `{crud name}.DeleteAction`
If you have a CRUD named `Tasks`, you would import the types like this:
```ts
import { type Tasks } from 'wasp/server/crud'
// Each of the types is a generic type, so you can use it like this:
export const getAllOverride: Tasks.GetAllQuery<Input, Output> = async (
args,
context
) => {
// ...
}
```
</ShowForTs>
For a usage example, check the [example guide](../data-model/crud#adding-crud-to-the-task-entity-).
#### Using the CRUD operations in client code
On the client, you import the CRUD operations from `wasp/client/crud` by import the `{crud name}` object. For example, if you have a CRUD called `Tasks`, you would import the operations like this:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="SomePage.jsx"
import { Tasks } from 'wasp/client/crud'
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="SomePage.tsx"
import { Tasks } from 'wasp/client/crud'
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
You can then access the operations like this:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="SomePage.jsx"
const { data } = Tasks.getAll.useQuery()
const { data } = Tasks.get.useQuery({ id: 1 })
const createAction = Tasks.create.useAction()
const updateAction = Tasks.update.useAction()
const deleteAction = Tasks.delete.useAction()
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="SomePage.tsx"
const { data } = Tasks.getAll.useQuery()
const { data } = Tasks.get.useQuery({ id: 1 })
const createAction = Tasks.create.useAction()
const updateAction = Tasks.update.useAction()
const deleteAction = Tasks.delete.useAction()
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
All CRUD operations are implemented with [Queries and Actions](../data-model/operations/overview) under the hood, which means they come with all the features you'd expect (e.g., automatic SuperJSON serialization, full-stack type safety when using TypeScript)

title: Entities
---
Entities are the foundation of your app's data model. In short, an Entity defines a model in your database.
Wasp uses the excellent [Prisma ORM](https://www.prisma.io/) to implement all database functionality and occasionally enhances it with a thin abstraction layer.
Wasp Entities directly correspond to [Prisma's data model](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-schema/data-model). Still, you don't need to be familiar with Prisma to effectively use Wasp, as it comes with a simple API wrapper for working with Prisma's core features.
The only requirement for defining Wasp Entities is familiarity with the **_Prisma Schema Language (PSL)_**, a simple definition language explicitly created for defining models in Prisma.
The language is declarative and very intuitive. We'll also go through an example later in the text, so there's no need to go and thoroughly learn it right away. Still, if you're curious, look no further than Prisma's official documentation:
- [Basic intro and examples](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-schema)
- [A more exhaustive language specification](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/api-reference/prisma-schema-reference)
## Defining an Entity
As mentioned, an `entity` declaration represents a database model.
Each `Entity` declaration corresponds 1-to-1 to [Prisma's data model](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-schema/data-model). Here's how you could define an Entity that represents a Task:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp
entity Task {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
description String
isDone Boolean @default(false)
psl=}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp
entity Task {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
description String
isDone Boolean @default(false)
psl=}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Let's go through this declaration in detail:
- `entity Task` - This tells Wasp that we wish to define an Entity (i.e., database model) called `Task`. Wasp automatically creates a table called `tasks`.
- `{=psl ... psl=}` - Wasp treats everything that comes between the two `psl` tags as [PSL (Prisma Schema Language)](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-schema).
The above PSL definition tells Wasp to create a table for storing Tasks where each task has three fields (i.e., the `tasks` table has three columns):
- `id` - An integer value serving as a primary key. The database automatically generates it by incrementing the previously generated `id`.
- `description` - A string value for storing the task's description.
- `isDone` - A boolean value indicating the task's completion status. If you don't set it when creating a new task, the database sets it to `false` by default.
### Working with Entities
Let's see how you can define and work with Wasp Entities:
1. Create/update some Entities in your `.wasp` file.
2. Run `wasp db migrate-dev`. This command syncs the database model with the Entity definitions in your `.wasp` file. It does this by creating migration scripts.
3. Migration scripts are automatically placed in the `migrations/` folder. Make sure to commit this folder into version control.
4. Use Wasp's JavasScript API to work with the database when implementing Operations (we'll cover this in detail when we talk about [operations](../data-model/operations/overview)).
#### Using Entities in Operations
Most of the time, you will be working with Entities within the context of [Operations (Queries & Actions)](../data-model/operations/overview). We'll see how that's done on the next page.
#### Using Entities directly
If you need more control, you can directly interact with Entities by importing and using the [Prisma Client](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-client/crud). We recommend sticking with conventional Wasp-provided mechanisms, only resorting to directly using the Prisma client only if you need a feature Wasp doesn't provide.
You can only use the Prisma Client in your Wasp server code. You can import it like this:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js
import { prisma } from 'wasp/server'
prisma.task.create({
description: "Read the Entities doc",
isDone: true // almost :)
})
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts
import { prisma } from 'wasp/server'
prisma.task.create({
description: "Read the Entities doc",
isDone: true // almost :)
})
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Next steps
Now that we've seen how to define Entities that represent Wasp's core data model, we'll see how to make the most of them in other parts of Wasp. Keep reading to learn all about Wasp Operations!

Wasp uses [superjson](https://github.com/blitz-js/superjson) under the hood.
This means you're not limited to only sending and receiving JSON payloads.
You can send and receive any superjson-compatible payload (like Dates, Sets, Lists, circular references, etc.) and let Wasp handle the (de)serialization.

As long as you're annotating your Queries with the correct automatically generated types, TypeScript ensures your payloads are valid (i.e., Wasp knows how to serialize and deserialize them).

title: Actions
---
import { Required } from '@site/src/components/Tag';
import { ShowForTs } from '@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers';
import SuperjsonNote from './\_superjson-note.md';
We'll explain what Actions are and how to use them. If you're looking for a detailed API specification, skip ahead to the [API Reference](#api-reference).
Actions are quite similar to [Queries](../../data-model/operations/queries.md), but with a key distinction: Actions are designed to modify and add data, while Queries are solely for reading data. Examples of Actions include adding a comment to a blog post, liking a video, or updating a product's price.
Actions and Queries work together to keep data caches up-to-date.
:::tip
Actions are almost identical to Queries in terms of their API.
Therefore, if you're already familiar with Queries, you might find reading the entire guide repetitive.
We instead recommend skipping ahead and only reading [the differences between Queries and Actions](#differences-between-queries-and-actions), and consulting the [API Reference](#api-reference) as needed.
:::
## Working with Actions
Actions are declared in Wasp and implemented in NodeJS. Wasp runs Actions within the server's context, but it also generates code that allows you to call them from anywhere in your code (either client or server) using the same interface.
This means you don't have to worry about building an HTTP API for the Action, managing server-side request handling, or even dealing with client-side response handling and caching.
Instead, just focus on developing the business logic inside your Action, and let Wasp handle the rest!
To create an Action, you need to:
1. Declare the Action in Wasp using the `action` declaration.
2. Implement the Action's NodeJS functionality.
Once these two steps are completed, you can use the Action from anywhere in your code.
### Declaring Actions
To create an Action in Wasp, we begin with an `action` declaration. Let's declare two Actions - one for creating a task, and another for marking tasks as done:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
action createTask {
fn: import { createTask } from "@src/actions.js"
}
action markTaskAsDone {
fn: import { markTaskAsDone } from "@src/actions.js"
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
action createTask {
fn: import { createTask } from "@src/actions.js"
}
action markTaskAsDone {
fn: import { markTaskAsDone } from "@src/actions.js"
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
<small>
If you want to know about all supported options for the `action` declaration, take a look at the [API Reference](#api-reference).
</small>
The names of Wasp Actions and their implementations don't necessarily have to match. However, to avoid confusion, we'll keep them the same.
<SuperjsonNote />
After declaring a Wasp Action, two important things happen:
- Wasp **generates a server-side NodeJS function** that shares its name with the Action.
- Wasp **generates a client-side JavaScript function** that shares its name with the Action (e.g., `markTaskAsDone`).
This function takes a single optional argument - an object containing any serializable data you wish to use inside the Action.
Wasp will send this object over the network and pass it into the Action's implementation as its first positional argument (more on this when we look at the implementations).
Such an abstraction works thanks to an HTTP API route handler Wasp generates on the server, which calls the Action's NodeJS implementation under the hood.
Generating these two functions ensures a uniform calling interface across the entire app (both client and server).
### Implementing Actions in Node
Now that we've declared the Action, what remains is to implement it. We've instructed Wasp to look for the Actions' implementations in the file `src/actions.{js,ts}`, so that's where we should export them from.
Here's how you might implement the previously declared Actions `createTask` and `markTaskAsDone`:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/actions.js"
// our "database"
let nextId = 4
const tasks = [
{ id: 1, description: 'Buy some eggs', isDone: true },
{ id: 2, description: 'Make an omelette', isDone: false },
{ id: 3, description: 'Eat breakfast', isDone: false },
]
// You don't need to use the arguments if you don't need them
export const createTask = (args) => {
const newTask = {
id: nextId,
isDone: false,
description: args.description,
}
nextId += 1
tasks.push(newTask)
return newTask
}
// The 'args' object is something sent by the caller (most often from the client)
export const markTaskAsDone = (args) => {
const task = tasks.find((task) => task.id === args.id)
if (!task) {
// We'll show how to properly handle such errors later
return
}
task.isDone = true
}
```
<SuperjsonNote />
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/actions.ts"
import { type CreateTask, type MarkTaskAsDone } from 'wasp/server/operations'
type Task = {
id: number

isDone: boolean
}
// our "database"
let nextId = 4
const tasks = [
{ id: 1, description: 'Buy some eggs', isDone: true },
{ id: 2, description: 'Make an omelette', isDone: false },
{ id: 3, description: 'Eat breakfast', isDone: false },
]
// You don't need to use the arguments if you don't need them
export const createTask: CreateTask<Pick<Task, 'description'>, Task> = (
args
) => {
const newTask = {
id: nextId,
isDone: false,
description: args.description,
}
nextId += 1
tasks.push(newTask)
return newTask
}
// The 'args' object is something sent by the caller (most often from the client)
export const markTaskAsDone: MarkTaskAsDone<Pick<Task, 'id'>, void> = (
args
) => {
const task = tasks.find((task) => task.id === args.id)
if (!task) {
// We'll show how to properly handle such errors later
return
}
task.isDone = true
}
```
Wasp automatically generates the types `CreateTask` and `MarkTaskAsDone` based on the declarations in your Wasp file:
- `CreateTask` is a generic type that Wasp automatically generated based on the Action declaration for `createTask`.
- `MarkTaskAsDone` is a generic type that Wasp automatically generated based on the Action declaration for `markTaskAsDone`.
You can use these types to specify the Action's input and output types.
The Action `createTask` expects to get an object of type `{ description: string }` and returns the newly created task (an object of type `Task`).
The Action `markTaskAsDone`, expects an object of type `{ id: number }` and doesn't return anything (i.e., its return type is `void`).
We've derived most of the payload types from the type `Task`.
Annotating the Actions is optional, but highly recommended. Doing so enables **full-stack type safety**. We'll see what this means when calling the Action from the client.
:::tip
Wasp uses [superjson](https://github.com/blitz-js/superjson) under the hood. In other words, you don't need to limit yourself to only sending and receiving JSON payloads.
Send and receive any superjson-compatible payload (e.g., Dates, Sets, Lists, circular references, etc.) and let Wasp take care of the (de)serialization.
As long as you're annotating your Actions with correct automatically generated types, TypeScript ensures your payloads are valid (i.e., that Wasp knows how to serialize and deserialize them).

### Using Actions
To use an Action, you can import it from `wasp/client/operations` and call it directly. As mentioned, the usage doesn't change depending on whether you're on the server or the client:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js
import { createTask, markTasAsDone } from 'wasp/client/operations'
// ...
const newTask = await createTask({ description: 'Learn TypeScript' })
await markTasAsDone({ id: 1 })
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts
import { createTask, markTasAsDone } from 'wasp/client/operations'
// TypeScript automatically infers the return values and type-checks
// the payloads.
const newTask = await createTask({ description: 'Keep learning TypeScript' })
await markTasAsDone({ id: 1 })
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
When using Actions on the client, you'll most likely want to use them inside a component:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title=src/pages/Task.jsx
import React from 'react'
// highlight-next-line
import { useQuery, getTask, markTaskAsDone } from 'wasp/client/operations'
export const TaskPage = ({ id }) => {
const { data: task } = useQuery(getTask, { id })
if (!task) {
return <h1>"Loading"</h1>
}
const { description, isDone } = task
return (
<div>
<p>
<strong>Description: </strong>
{description}
</p>
<p>
<strong>Is done: </strong>
{isDone ? 'Yes' : 'No'}
</p>
{isDone || (
// highlight-next-line
<button onClick={() => markTaskAsDone({ id })}>Mark as done.</button>
)}
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title=src/pages/Task.tsx
import React from 'react'
// highlight-next-line
import { useQuery, getTask, markTaskAsDone } from 'wasp/client/operations'
export const TaskPage = ({ id }: { id: number }) => {
const { data: task } = useQuery(getTask, { id })
if (!task) {
return <h1>"Loading"</h1>
}
const { description, isDone } = task
return (
<div>
<p>
<strong>Description: </strong>
{description}
</p>
<p>
<strong>Is done: </strong>
{isDone ? 'Yes' : 'No'}
</p>
{isDone || (
// highlight-next-line
<button onClick={() => markTaskAsDone({ id })}>Mark as done.</button>
)}
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Since Actions don't require reactivity, they are safe to use inside components without a hook. Still, Wasp provides comes with the `useAction` hook you can use to enhance actions. Read all about it in the [API Reference](#api-reference).
### Error Handling
For security reasons, all exceptions thrown in the Action's NodeJS implementation are sent to the client as responses with the HTTP status code `500`, with all other details removed.
Hiding error details by default helps against accidentally leaking possibly sensitive information over the network.
If you do want to pass additional error information to the client, you can construct and throw an appropriate `HttpError` in your implementation:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title=src/actions.js
import { HttpError } from 'wasp/server'
export const createTask = async (args, context) => {
throw new HttpError(
403, // status code
"You can't do this!", // message
{ foo: 'bar' } // data
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title=src/actions.ts
import { type CreateTask } from 'wasp/server/operations'
import { HttpError } from 'wasp/server'
export const createTask: CreateTask = async (args, context) => {
throw new HttpError(
403, // status code
"You can't do this!", // message
{ foo: 'bar' } // data
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Using Entities in Actions
In most cases, resources used in Actions will be [Entities](../../data-model/entities.md).
To use an Entity in your Action, add it to the `action` declaration in Wasp:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp {4,9} title="main.wasp"
action createTask {
fn: import { createTask } from "@src/actions.js",
entities: [Task]
}
action markTaskAsDone {
fn: import { markTaskAsDone } from "@src/actions.js",
entities: [Task]
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp {4,9} title="main.wasp"
action createTask {
fn: import { createTask } from "@src/actions.js",
entities: [Task]
}
action markTaskAsDone {
fn: import { markTaskAsDone } from "@src/actions.js",
entities: [Task]
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Wasp will inject the specified Entity into the Action's `context` argument, giving you access to the Entity's Prisma API.
Wasp invalidates frontend Query caches by looking at the Entities used by each Action/Query. Read more about Wasp's smart cache invalidation [here](#cache-invalidation).
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/actions.js"
// The 'args' object is the payload sent by the caller (most often from the client)
export const createTask = async (args, context) => {
const newTask = await context.entities.Task.create({
data: {
description: args.description,
isDone: false,
},
})
return newTask
}
export const markTaskAsDone = async (args, context) => {
await context.entities.Task.update({
where: { id: args.id },
data: { isDone: true },
})
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/actions.ts"
import { type CreateTask, type MarkTaskAsDone } from 'wasp/server/operations'
import { type Task } from 'wasp/entities'
// The 'args' object is the payload sent by the caller (most often from the client)
export const createTask: CreateTask<Pick<Task, 'description'>, Task> = async (
args,
context
) => {
const newTask = await context.entities.Task.create({
data: {
description: args.description,
isDone: false,
},
})
return newTask
}
export const markTaskAsDone: MarkTaskAsDone<Pick<Task, 'id'>, void> = async (
args,
context
) => {
await context.entities.Task.update({
where: { id: args.id },
data: { isDone: true },
})
}
```
Again, annotating the Actions is optional, but greatly improves **full-stack type safety**.
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The object `context.entities.Task` exposes `prisma.task` from [Prisma's CRUD API](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-client/crud).
## Cache Invalidation
One of the trickiest parts of managing a web app's state is making sure the data returned by the Queries is up to date.
Since Wasp uses _react-query_ for Query management, we must make sure to invalidate Queries (more specifically, their cached results managed by _react-query_) whenever they become stale.
It's possible to invalidate the caches manually through several mechanisms _react-query_ provides (e.g., refetch, direct invalidation).
However, since manual cache invalidation quickly becomes complex and error-prone, Wasp offers a faster and a more effective solution to get you started: **automatic Entity-based Query cache invalidation**.
Because Actions can (and most often do) modify the state while Queries read it, Wasp invalidates a Query's cache whenever an Action that uses the same Entity is executed.
For example, if the Action `createTask` and Query `getTasks` both use the Entity `Task`, executing `createTask` may cause the cached result of `getTasks` to become outdated. In response, Wasp will invalidate it, causing `getTasks` to refetch data from the server and update it.
In practice, this means that Wasp keeps the Queries "fresh" without requiring you to think about cache invalidation.
On the other hand, this kind of automatic cache invalidation can become wasteful (some updates might not be necessary) and will only work for Entities. If that's an issue, you can use the mechanisms provided by _react-query_ for now, and expect more direct support in Wasp for handling those use cases in a nice, elegant way.
If you wish to optimistically set cache values after performing an Action, you can do so using [optimistic updates](https://stackoverflow.com/a/33009713). Configure them using Wasp's [useAction hook](#the-useaction-hook-and-optimistic-updates). This is currently the only manual cache invalidation mechanism Wasps supports natively. For everything else, you can always rely on _react-query_.
## Differences Between Queries and Actions
Actions and Queries are two closely related concepts in Wasp. They might seem to perform similar tasks, but Wasp treats them differently, and each concept represents a different thing.
Here are the key differences between Queries and Actions:
1. Actions can (and often should) modify the server's state, while Queries are only permitted to read it. Wasp relies on you adhering to this convention when performing cache invalidations, so it's crucial to follow it.
2. Actions don't need to be reactive, so you can call them directly. However, Wasp does provide a [`useAction` React hook](#the-useaction-hook-and-optimistic-updates) for adding extra behavior to the Action (like optimistic updates).
3. `action` declarations in Wasp are mostly identical to `query` declarations. The only difference lies in the declaration's name.
## API Reference
### Declaring Actions in Wasp
The `action` declaration supports the following fields:
- `fn: ExtImport` <Required />
The import statement of the Action's NodeJs implementation.
- `entities: [Entity]`
A list of entities you wish to use inside your Action.
For instructions on using Entities in Actions, take a look at [the guide](#using-entities-in-actions).
#### Example
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
Declaring the Action:
```wasp
query createFoo {
fn: import { createFoo } from "@src/actions.js"
entities: [Foo]
}
```
Enables you to import and use it anywhere in your code (on the server or the client):
```js
import { createFoo } from 'wasp/client/operations'
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
Declaring the Action:
```wasp
query createFoo {
fn: import { createFoo } from "@src/actions.js"
entities: [Foo]
}
```
Enables you to import and use it anywhere in your code (on the server or the client):
```ts
// Use it on the client
import { createFoo } from 'wasp/client/operations'
// Use it on the server
import { createFoo } from 'wasp/server/operations'
```
As well as the following type import on the server:
```ts
import { type CreateFoo } from 'wasp/server/operations'
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Implementing Actions
The Action's implementation is a NodeJS function that takes two arguments (it can be an `async` function if you need to use the `await` keyword).
Since both arguments are positional, you can name the parameters however you want, but we'll stick with `args` and `context`:
1. `args` (type depends on the Action)
An object containing the data **passed in when calling the Action** (e.g., filtering conditions).
Check [the usage examples](#using-actions) to see how to pass this object to the Action.
2. `context` (type depends on the Action)
An additional context object **passed into the Action by Wasp**. This object contains user session information, as well as information about entities. Check the [section about using entities in Actions](#using-entities-in-actions) to see how to use the entities field on the `context` object, or the [auth section](../../auth/overview#using-the-contextuser-object) to see how to use the `user` object.
<ShowForTs>
After you [declare the Action](#declaring-actions), Wasp generates a generic type you can use when defining its implementation.
For the Action declared as `createSomething`, the generated type is called `CreateSomething`:
```ts
import { type CreateSomething } from 'wasp/server/operations'
```
It expects two (optional) type arguments:
1. `Input`
The type of the `args` object (i.e., the Action's input payload). The default value is `never`.
2. `Output`
The type of the Action's return value (i.e., the Action's output payload). The default value is `unknown`.
The defaults were chosen to make the type signature as permissive as possible. If don't want your Action to take/return anything, use `void` as a type argument.
</ShowForTs>
#### Example
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
The following Action:
```wasp
action createFoo {
fn: import { createFoo } from "@src/actions.js"
entities: [Foo]
}
```
Expects to find a named export `createfoo` from the file `src/actions.js`
```js title=actions.js
export const createFoo = (args, context) => {
// implementation
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
The following Action:
```wasp
action createFoo {
fn: import { createFoo } from "@src/actions.js"
entities: [Foo]
}
```
Expects to find a named export `createfoo` from the file `src/actions.js`
You can use the generated type `CreateFoo` and specify the Action's inputs and outputs using its type arguments.
```ts title=actions.ts
import { type CreateFoo } from 'wasp/server/operations'
type Foo = // ...
export const createFoo: CreateFoo<{ bar: string }, Foo> = (args, context) => {
// implementation
};
```
In this case, the Action expects to receive an object with a `bar` field of type `string` (this is the type of `args`), and return a value of type `Foo` (this must match the type of the Action's return value).
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### The `useAction` Hook and Optimistic Updates
Make sure you understand how [Queries](../../data-model/operations/queries.md) and [Cache Invalidation](#cache-invalidation) work before reading this chapter.
When using Actions in components, you can enhance them with the help of the `useAction` hook. This hook comes bundled with Wasp, and is used for decorating Wasp Actions.
In other words, the hook returns a function whose API matches the original Action while also doing something extra under the hood (depending on how you configure it).
The `useAction` hook accepts two arguments:
- `actionFn` <Required />
The Wasp Action (i.e., the client-side Action function generated by Wasp based on a Action declaration) you wish to enhance.
- `actionOptions`
An object configuring the extra features you want to add to the given Action. While this argument is technically optional, there is no point in using the `useAction` hook without providing it (it would be the same as using the Action directly). The Action options object supports the following fields:
- `optimisticUpdates`
An array of objects where each object defines an [optimistic update](https://stackoverflow.com/a/33009713) to perform on the Query cache. To define an optimistic update, you must specify the following properties:
- `getQuerySpecifier` <Required />
A function returning the Query specifier (i.e., a value used to address the Query you want to update). A Query specifier is an array specifying the query function and arguments. For example, to optimistically update the Query used with `useQuery(fetchFilteredTasks, {isDone: true }]`, your `getQuerySpecifier` function would have to return the array `[fetchFilteredTasks, { isDone: true}]`. Wasp will forward the argument you pass into the decorated Action to this function (i.e., you can use the properties of the added/changed item to address the Query).
- `updateQuery` <Required />
The function used to perform the optimistic update. It should return the desired state of the cache. Wasp will call it with the following arguments:
- `item` - The argument you pass into the decorated Action.
- `oldData` - The currently cached value for the Query identified by the specifier.
:::caution
The `updateQuery` function must be a pure function. It must return the desired cache value identified by the `getQuerySpecifier` function and _must not_ perform any side effects.
Also, make sure you only update the Query caches affected by your Action causing the optimistic update (Wasp cannot yet verify this).
Finally, your implementation of the `updateQuery` function should work correctly regardless of the state of `oldData` (e.g., don't rely on array positioning). If you need to do something else during your optimistic update, you can directly use _react-query_'s lower-level API (read more about it [here](#advanced-usage)).
:::
Here's an example showing how to configure the Action `markTaskAsDone` that toggles a task's `isDone` status to perform an optimistic update:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title=src/pages/Task.jsx
import React from 'react'
import {
useQuery,
useAction,
getTask,
markTaskAsDone,
} from 'wasp/client/operations'
const TaskPage = ({ id }) => {
const { data: task } = useQuery(getTask, { id })
// highlight-start
const markTaskAsDoneOptimistically = useAction(markTaskAsDone, {
optimisticUpdates: [
{
getQuerySpecifier: ({ id }) => [getTask, { id }],
updateQuery: (_payload, oldData) => ({ ...oldData, isDone: true }),
},
],
})
// highlight-end
if (!task) {
return <h1>"Loading"</h1>
}
const { description, isDone } = task
return (
<div>
<p>
<strong>Description: </strong>
{description}
</p>
<p>
<strong>Is done: </strong>
{isDone ? 'Yes' : 'No'}
</p>
{isDone || (
<button onClick={() => markTaskAsDoneOptimistically({ id })}>
Mark as done.
</button>
)}
</div>
)
}
export default TaskPage
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title=src/pages/Task.tsx
import React from 'react'
import {
useQuery,
useAction,
type OptimisticUpdateDefinition,
getTask,
markTaskAsDone,
} from 'wasp/client/operations'
type TaskPayload = Pick<Task, "id">;
const TaskPage = ({ id }: { id: number }) => {
const { data: task } = useQuery(getTask, { id });
// highlight-start
const markTaskAsDoneOptimistically = useAction(markTaskAsDone, {
optimisticUpdates: [
{
getQuerySpecifier: ({ id }) => [getTask, { id }],
updateQuery: (_payload, oldData) => ({ ...oldData, isDone: true }),
} as OptimisticUpdateDefinition<TaskPayload, Task>,
],
});
// highlight-end
if (!task) {
return <h1>"Loading"</h1>;
}
const { description, isDone } = task;
return (
<div>
<p>
<strong>Description: </strong>
{description}
</p>
<p>
<strong>Is done: </strong>
{isDone ? "Yes" : "No"}
</p>
{isDone || (
<button onClick={() => markTaskAsDoneOptimistically({ id })}>
Mark as done.
</button>
)}
</div>
);
};
export default TaskPage;
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
#### Advanced usage
The `useAction` hook currently only supports specifying optimistic updates. You can expect more features in future versions of Wasp.
Wasp's optimistic update API is deliberately small and focuses exclusively on updating Query caches (as that's the most common use case). You might need an API that offers more options or a higher level of control. If that's the case, instead of using Wasp's `useAction` hook, you can use _react-query_'s `useMutation` hook and directly work with [their low-level API](https://tanstack.com/query/v4/docs/guides/optimistic-updates?from=reactQueryV3&original=https://react-query-v3.tanstack.com/guides/optimistic-updates).
If you decide to use _react-query_'s API directly, you will need access to Query cache key. Wasp internally uses this key but abstracts it from the programmer. Still, you can easily obtain it by accessing the `queryCacheKey` property on any Query:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js
import { getTasks } from 'wasp/client/operations'
const queryKey = getTasks.queryCacheKey
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts
import { getTasks } from 'wasp/client/operations'
const queryKey = getTasks.queryCacheKey
```

import { Required } from '@site/src/components/Tag';
While Entities enable help you define your app's data model and relationships, Operations are all about working with this data.
There are two kinds of Operations: [Queries](../../data-model/operations/queries.md) and [Actions](../../data-model/operations/actions.md). As their names suggest,
Queries are meant for reading data, and Actions are meant for changing it (either by updating existing entries or creating new ones).
Keep reading to find out all there is to know about Operations in Wasp.

We'll explain what Queries are and how to use them. If you're looking for a detailed API specification, skip ahead to the [API Reference](#api-reference).
You can use Queries to fetch data from the server. They shouldn't modify the server's state.
Fetching all comments on a blog post, a list of users that liked a video, information about a single product based on its ID... All of these are perfect use cases for a Query.
:::tip
Queries are fairly similar to Actions in terms of their API.
Therefore, if you're already familiar with Actions, you might find reading the entire guide repetitive.
We instead recommend skipping ahead and only reading [the differences between Queries and Actions](../../data-model/operations/actions#differences-between-queries-and-actions), and consulting the [API Reference](#api-reference) as needed.
:::
## Working with Queries
You declare queries in the `.wasp` file and implement them using NodeJS. Wasp not only runs these queries within the server's context but also creates code that enables you to call them from any part of your codebase, whether it's on the client or server side.
This means you don't have to build an HTTP API for your query, manage server-side request handling, or even deal with client-side response handling and caching.
Instead, just concentrate on implementing the business logic inside your query, and let Wasp handle the rest!
To create a Query, you must:
1. Declare the Query in Wasp using the `query` declaration.
2. Define the Query's NodeJS implementation.
After completing these two steps, you'll be able to use the Query from any point in your code.
### Declaring Queries
To create a Query in Wasp, we begin with a `query` declaration.
Let's declare two Queries - one to fetch all tasks, and another to fetch tasks based on a filter, such as whether a task is done:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
query getAllTasks {
fn: import { getAllTasks } from "@src/queries.js"
}
query getFilteredTasks {
fn: import { getFilteredTasks } from "@src/queries.js"
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
query getAllTasks {
fn: import { getAllTasks } from "@src/queries.js"
}
query getFilteredTasks {
fn: import { getFilteredTasks } from "@src/queries.js"
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
<small>
If you want to know about all supported options for the `query` declaration, take a look at the [API Reference](#api-reference).
</small>
The names of Wasp Queries and their implementations don't need to match, but we'll keep them the same to avoid confusion.
:::info
You might have noticed that we told Wasp to import Query implementations that don't yet exist. Don't worry about that for now. We'll write the implementations imported from `queries.{js,ts}` in the next section.
It's a good idea to start with the high-level concept (i.e., the Query declaration in the Wasp file) and only then deal with the implementation details (i.e., the Query's implementation in JavaScript).
:::
After declaring a Wasp Query, two important things happen:
- Wasp **generates a server-side NodeJS function** that shares its name with the Query.
- Wasp **generates a client-side JavaScript function** that shares its name with the Query (e.g., `getFilteredTasks`).
This function takes a single optional argument - an object containing any serializable data you wish to use inside the Query.
Wasp will send this object over the network and pass it into the Query's implementation as its first positional argument (more on this when we look at the implementations).
Such an abstraction works thanks to an HTTP API route handler Wasp generates on the server, which calls the Query's NodeJS implementation under the hood.
Generating these two functions ensures a uniform calling interface across the entire app (both client and server).
### Implementing Queries in Node
Now that we've declared the Query, what remains is to implement it.
We've instructed Wasp to look for the Queries' implementations in the file `src/queries.{js,ts}`, so that's where we should export them from.
Here's how you might implement the previously declared Queries `getAllTasks` and `getFilteredTasks`:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">

// You don't need to use the arguments if you don't need them
export const getAllTasks = () => {
return tasks

export const getFilteredTasks: GetFilteredTasks<
Pick<Task, 'isDone'>,
Task[]
> = (args) => {
const { isDone } = args
return tasks.filter((task) => task.isDone === isDone)
}
```
Wasp automatically generates the types `GetTasks` and `GetFilteredTasks` based on your Wasp file's declarations:
- `GetTasks` is a generic type automatically generated by Wasp, based on the Query declaration for `getTasks`.
- `GetFilteredTasks` is also a generic type automatically generated by Wasp, based on the Query declaration for `getFilteredTasks`.
You can utilize these types to define the input and output types for your Query.
For example, the Query `getTasks` doesn't expect any arguments (its input type is `void`), but it does return a list of tasks (its output type is `Task[]`).
On the other hand, the Query `getFilteredTasks` expects an object of type `{ isDone: boolean }`. This type is derived from the `Task` type.
While annotating the Queries is optional, it's highly recommended. Doing so enables **full-stack type safety**. We'll explore what this means when we discuss calling the Query from the client.

### Using Queries
To use a Query, you can import it from `wasp/client/operations` and call it directly. As mentioned, the usage doesn't change depending on whether you're on the server or the client:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js
import { getAllTasks, getFilteredTasks } from 'wasp/client/operations'
// ...
const allTasks = await getAllTasks()
const doneTasks = await getFilteredTasks({ isDone: true })
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts
import { getAllTasks, getFilteredTasks } from 'wasp/client/operations'
// TypeScript automatically infers the return values and type-checks
// the payloads.
const allTasks = await getAllTasks()
const doneTasks = await getFilteredTasks({ isDone: true })
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
#### The `useQuery` hook
When using Queries on the client, you can make them reactive with the `useQuery` hook.
This hook comes bundled with Wasp and is a thin wrapper around the `useQuery` hook from [_react-query_](https://github.com/tannerlinsley/react-query). The only difference is that you don't need to supply the key - Wasp handles this for you automatically.
Here's an example of calling the Queries using the `useQuery` hook:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title=src/MainPage.jsx
import React from 'react'
import { useQuery, getAllTasks, getFilteredTasks } from 'wasp/client/operations'
const MainPage = () => {
const { data: allTasks, error: error1 } = useQuery(getAllTasks)
const { data: doneTasks, error: error2 } = useQuery(getFilteredTasks, {
isDone: true,
})
if (error1 !== null || error2 !== null) {
return <div>There was an error</div>
}
return (
<div>
<h2>All Tasks</h2>
{allTasks && allTasks.length > 0
? allTasks.map((task) => <Task key={task.id} {...task} />)
: 'No tasks'}
<h2>Finished Tasks</h2>
{doneTasks && doneTasks.length > 0
? doneTasks.map((task) => <Task key={task.id} {...task} />)
: 'No finished tasks'}
</div>
)
}
const Task = ({ description, isDone }: Task) => {
return (
<div>
<p>
<strong>Description: </strong>
{description}
</p>
<p>
<strong>Is done: </strong>
{isDone ? 'Yes' : 'No'}
</p>
</div>
)
}
export default MainPage
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title=src/MainPage.tsx
import React from 'react'
import { type Task } from 'wasp/entities'
import { useQuery, getAllTasks, getFilteredTasks } from 'wasp/client/operations'
const MainPage = () => {
// TypeScript will automatically infer and type-check payload types.
const { data: allTasks, error: error1 } = useQuery(getAllTasks)
const { data: doneTasks, error: error2 } = useQuery(getFilteredTasks, {
isDone: true,
})
if (error1 !== null || error2 !== null) {
return <div>There was an error</div>
}
return (
<div>
<h2>All Tasks</h2>
{allTasks && allTasks.length > 0
? allTasks.map((task) => <Task key={task.id} {...task} />)
: 'No tasks'}
<h2>Finished Tasks</h2>
{doneTasks && doneTasks.length > 0
? doneTasks.map((task) => <Task key={task.id} {...task} />)
: 'No finished tasks'}
</div>
)
}
const Task = ({ description, isDone }: Task) => {
return (
<div>
<p>
<strong>Description: </strong>
{description}
</p>
<p>
<strong>Is done: </strong>
{isDone ? 'Yes' : 'No'}
</p>
</div>
)
}
export default MainPage
```
Notice how you don't need to annotate the Query's return value type. Wasp automatically infers the from the Query's backend implementation. This is **full-stack type safety**: the types on the client always match the types on the server.
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
<small>
For a detailed specification of the `useQuery` hook, check the [API Reference](#api-reference).
</small>
### Error Handling
For security reasons, all exceptions thrown in the Query's NodeJS implementation are sent to the client as responses with the HTTP status code `500`, with all other details removed.
Hiding error details by default helps against accidentally leaking possibly sensitive information over the network.
If you do want to pass additional error information to the client, you can construct and throw an appropriate `HttpError` in your implementation:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title=src/queries.js
import { HttpError } from 'wasp/server'
export const getAllTasks = async (args, context) => {
throw new HttpError(
403, // status code
"You can't do this!", // message
{ foo: 'bar' } // data
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title=src/queries.ts
import { type GetAllTasks } from 'wasp/server/operations'
import { HttpError } from 'wasp/server'
export const getAllTasks: GetAllTasks = async (args, context) => {
throw new HttpError(
403, // status code
"You can't do this!", // message
{ foo: 'bar' } // data
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
If the status code is `4xx`, the client will receive a response object with the corresponding `message` and `data` fields, and it will rethrow the error (including these fields).
To prevent information leakage, the server won't forward these fields for any other HTTP status codes.
### Using Entities in Queries
In most cases, resources used in Queries will be [Entities](../../data-model/entities.md).
To use an Entity in your Query, add it to the `query` declaration in Wasp:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp {4,9} title="main.wasp"
query getAllTasks {
fn: import { getAllTasks } from "@src/queries.js",
entities: [Task]
}
query getFilteredTasks {
fn: import { getFilteredTasks } from "@src/queries.js",
entities: [Task]
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp {4,9} title="main.wasp"
query getAllTasks {
fn: import { getAllTasks } from "@src/queries.js",
entities: [Task]
}
query getFilteredTasks {
fn: import { getFilteredTasks } from "@src/queries.js",
entities: [Task]
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Wasp will inject the specified Entity into the Query's `context` argument, giving you access to the Entity's Prisma API:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/queries.js"
export const getAllTasks = async (args, context) => {
return context.entities.Task.findMany({})
}
export const getFilteredTasks = async (args, context) => {
return context.entities.Task.findMany({
where: { isDone: args.isDone },
})
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/queries.ts"
import { type Task } from 'wasp/entities'
import { type GetAllTasks, type GetFilteredTasks } from 'wasp/server/operations'
export const getAllTasks: GetAllTasks<void, Task[]> = async (args, context) => {
return context.entities.Task.findMany({})
}
export const getFilteredTasks: GetFilteredTasks<
Pick<Task, 'isDone'>,
Task[]
> = async (args, context) => {
return context.entities.Task.findMany({
where: { isDone: args.isDone },
})
}
```
Again, annotating the Queries is optional, but greatly improves **full-stack type safety**.
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The object `context.entities.Task` exposes `prisma.task` from [Prisma's CRUD API](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-client/crud).
## API Reference
### Declaring Queries
The `query` declaration supports the following fields:
- `fn: ExtImport` <Required />
The import statement of the Query's NodeJs implementation.
- `entities: [Entity]`
A list of entities you wish to use inside your Query.
For instructions on using Entities in Queries, take a look at [the guide](#using-entities-in-queries).
#### Example
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
Declaring the Query:
```wasp
query getFoo {
fn: import { getFoo } from "@src/queries.js"
entities: [Foo]
}
```
Enables you to import and use it anywhere in your code (on the server or the client):
```js
import { getFoo } from 'wasp/client/operations'
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
Declaring the Query:
```wasp
query getFoo {
fn: import { getFoo } from "@src/queries.js"
entities: [Foo]
}
```
Enables you to import and use it anywhere in your code (on the server or the client):
```ts
// Use it on the client
import { getFoo } from 'wasp/client/operations'
// Use it on the server
import { getFoo } from 'wasp/server/operations'
```
And also creates a type you can import on the server:
```ts
import { type GetFoo } from 'wasp/server/operations'
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Implementing Queries
The Query's implementation is a NodeJS function that takes two arguments (it can be an `async` function if you need to use the `await` keyword).
Since both arguments are positional, you can name the parameters however you want, but we'll stick with `args` and `context`:
1. `args` (type depends on the Query)
An object containing the data **passed in when calling the query** (e.g., filtering conditions).
Check [the usage examples](#using-queries) to see how to pass this object to the Query.
2. `context` (type depends on the Query)
An additional context object **passed into the Query by Wasp**. This object contains user session information, as well as information about entities. Check the [section about using entities in Queries](#using-entities-in-queries) to see how to use the entities field on the `context` object, or the [auth section](../../auth/overview#using-the-contextuser-object) to see how to use the `user` object.
<ShowForTs>
After you [declare the query](#declaring-queries), Wasp generates a generic type you can use when defining its implementation.
For the Query declared as `getSomething`, the generated type is called `GetSomething`:
```ts
import { type GetSomething } from 'wasp/server/operations'
```
It expects two (optional) type arguments:
1. `Input`
The type of the `args` object (i.e., the Query's input payload). The default value is `never`.
2. `Output`
The type of the Query's return value (i.e., the Query's output payload). The default value is `unknown`.
The defaults were chosen to make the type signature as permissive as possible. If don't want your Query to take/return anything, use `void` as a type argument.
</ShowForTs>
#### Example
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
The following Query:
```wasp
query getFoo {
fn: import { getFoo } from "@src/queries.js"
entities: [Foo]
}
```
Expects to find a named export `getFoo` from the file `src/queries.js`
```js title=queries.js
export const getFoo = (args, context) => {
// implementation
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
The following Query:
```wasp
query getFoo {
fn: import { getFoo } from "@src/queries.js"
entities: [Foo]
}
```
Expects to find a named export `getFoo` from the file `src/queries.js`
You can use the generated type `GetFoo` and specify the Query's inputs and outputs using its type arguments.
```ts title=queries.ts
import { type GetFoo } from 'wasp/server/operations'
type Foo = // ...
export const getFoo: GetFoo<{ id: number }, Foo> = (args, context) => {
// implementation
};
```
In this case, the Query expects to receive an object with an `id` field of type `number` (this is the type of `args`), and return a value of type `Foo` (this must match the type of the Query's return value).
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### The `useQuery` Hook
Wasp's `useQuery` hook is a thin wrapper around the `useQuery` hook from [_react-query_](https://github.com/tannerlinsley/react-query).
One key difference is that Wasp doesn't expect you to supply the cache key - it takes care of it under the hood.
Wasp's `useQuery` hook accepts three arguments:
- `queryFn` <Required />
The client-side query function generated by Wasp based on a `query` declaration in your `.wasp` file.
- `queryFnArgs`
The arguments object (payload) you wish to pass into the Query. The Query's NodeJS implementation will receive this object as its first positional argument.
- `options`
A _react-query_ `options` object. Use this to change
[the default
behavior](https://react-query.tanstack.com/guides/important-defaults) for
this particular Query. If you want to change the global defaults, you can do
so in the [client setup function](../../project/client-config.md#overriding-default-behaviour-for-queries).
For an example of usage, check [this section](#the-usequery-hook).

Docs: https://wasp-lang.dev/docs
Discord (chat): https://discord.gg/rzdnErX
Newsletter: https://wasp-lang.dev/#signup
```
## Commands
### Creating a New Project
- Use `wasp new` to start the interactive mode for setting up a new Wasp project.
This will prompt you to input the project name and to select a template. The chosen template will then be used to generate the project directory with the specified name.
```
$ wasp new
Enter the project name (e.g. my-project) ▸ MyFirstProject
Choose a starter template
[1] basic (default)
Simple starter template with a single page.
[2] todo-ts
Simple but well-rounded Wasp app implemented with Typescript & full-stack type safety.
[3] saas
Everything a SaaS needs! Comes with Auth, ChatGPT API, Tailwind, Stripe payments and more. Check out https://opensaas.sh/ for more details.
[4] embeddings
Comes with code for generating vector embeddings and performing vector similarity search.
[5] ai-generated
🤖 Describe an app in a couple of sentences and have Wasp AI generate initial code for you. (experimental)
▸ 1
🐝 --- Creating your project from the "basic" template... -------------------------
Created new Wasp app in ./MyFirstProject directory!
To run your new app, do:
cd MyFirstProject
wasp db start
```
- To skip the interactive mode and create a new Wasp project with the default template, use `wasp new <project-name>`.
```
$ wasp new MyFirstProject
🐝 --- Creating your project from the "basic" template... -------------------------
Created new Wasp app in ./MyFirstProject directory!
To run your new app, do:
cd MyFirstProject
wasp db start
```
### Project Commands
- `wasp start` launches the Wasp app in development mode. It automatically opens a browser tab with your application running and watches for any changes to .wasp or files in `src/` to automatically reflect in the browser. It also shows messages from the web app, the server and the database on stdout/stderr.
- `wasp start db` starts the database for you. This can be very handy since you don't need to spin up your own database or provide its connection URL to the Wasp app.
- `wasp clean` removes all generated code and other cached artifacts. If using SQlite, it also deletes the SQlite database. Think of this as the Wasp version of the classic "turn it off and on again" solution.
```
$ wasp clean
🐝 --- Deleting the .wasp/ directory... -------------------------------------------
✅ --- Deleted the .wasp/ directory. ----------------------------------------------
🐝 --- Deleting the node_modules/ directory... ------------------------------------
✅ --- Deleted the node_modules/ directory. ---------------------------------------
```
- `wasp build` generates the complete web app code, which is ready for [deployment](../advanced/deployment/overview). Use this command when you're deploying or ejecting. The generated code is stored in the `.wasp/build` folder.
- `wasp deploy` makes it easy to get your app hosted on the web.
Currently, Wasp offers support for [Fly.io](https://fly.io). If you prefer a different hosting provider, feel free to let us know on Discord or submit a PR by updating [this TypeScript app](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/tree/main/waspc/packages/deploy).
Read more about automatic deployment [here](../advanced/deployment/cli).
- `wasp telemetry` displays the status of [telemetry](https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/telemetry).
```
$ wasp telemetry
Telemetry is currently: ENABLED
Telemetry cache directory: /home/user/.cache/wasp/telemetry/
Last time telemetry data was sent for this project: 2021-05-27 09:21:16.79537226 UTC
Our telemetry is anonymized and very limited in its scope: check https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/telemetry for more details.
```
- `wasp deps` lists the dependencies that Wasp uses in your project.
- `wasp info` provides basic details about the current Wasp project.
- `wasp studio` shows you an graphical overview of your application in a graph: pages, queries, actions, data model etc.
### Database Commands
Wasp provides a suite of commands for managing the database. These commands all begin with `db` and primarily execute Prisma commands behind the scenes.
- `wasp db migrate-dev` synchronizes the development database with the current state of the schema (entities). If there are any changes in the schema, it generates a new migration and applies any pending migrations to the database.
- The `--name foo` option allows you to specify a name for the migration, while the `--create-only` option lets you create an empty migration without applying it.
- `wasp db studio` opens the GUI for inspecting your database.
### Bash Completion
To set up Bash completion, run the `wasp completion` command and follow the instructions.
### Miscellaneous Commands
- `wasp version` displays the current version of the CLI.
```
$ wasp version
0.12.0
If you wish to install/switch to the latest version of Wasp, do:
curl -sSL https://get.wasp-lang.dev/installer.sh | sh -s
If you want specific x.y.z version of Wasp, do:
curl -sSL https://get.wasp-lang.dev/installer.sh | sh -s -- -v x.y.z
Check https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/releases for the list of valid versions, including the latest one.
```
- `wasp uninstall` removes Wasp from your system.
```
$ wasp uninstall
🐝 --- Uninstalling Wasp ... ------------------------------------------------------
We will remove the following directories:
{home}/.local/share/wasp-lang/
{home}/.cache/wasp/
We will also remove the following files:
{home}/.local/bin/wasp
Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N]

title: Wasp Language (.wasp)
---
Wasp language (what you write in .wasp files) is a declarative, statically typed, domain-specific language (DSL).
It is a quite simple language, closer to JSON, CSS or SQL than to e.g. Javascript or Python, since it is not a general programming language, but more of a configuration language.
It is pretty intuitive to learn (there isn't much to learn really!) and you can probably do just fine without reading this page and learning from the rest of the docs as you go, but if you want a bit more formal definition and deeper understanding of how it works, then read on!
## Declarations
The central point of Wasp language are **declarations**, and Wasp code is at the end just a bunch of declarations, each of them describing a part of your web app.
```wasp
app MyApp {
title: "My app"
}
route RootRoute { path: "/", to: DashboardPage }
page DashboardPage {
component: import { DashboardPage } from "@src/Dashboard.jsx"
}
```
In the example above we described a web app via three declarations: `app MyApp { ... }`, `route RootRoute { ... }` and `page DashboardPage { ... }`.
Syntax for writing a declaration is `<declaration_type> <declaration_name> <declaration_body>`, where:
- `<declaration_type>` is one of the declaration types offered by Wasp (`app`, `route`, ...)
- `<declaration_name>` is an identifier chosen by you to name this specific declaration
- `<declaration_body>` is the value/definition of the declaration itself, which has to match the specific declaration body type expected by the chosen declaration type.
So, for `app` declaration above, we have:
- declaration type `app`
- declaration name `MyApp` (we could have used any other identifier, like `foobar`, `foo_bar`, or `hi3Ho`)
- declaration body `{ title: "My app" }`, which is a dictionary with field `title` that has string value.
Type of this dictionary is in line with the declaration body type of the `app` declaration type.
If we provided something else, e.g. changed `title` to `little`, we would get a type error from Wasp compiler since that does not match the expected type of the declaration body for `app`.
Each declaration has a meaning behind it that describes how your web app should behave and function.
All the other types in Wasp language (primitive types (`string`, `number`), composite types (`dict`, `list`), enum types (`DbSystem`), ...) are used to define the declaration bodies.
## Complete List of Wasp Types
Wasp's type system can be divided into two main categories of types: **fundamental types** and **domain types**.
While fundamental types are here to be basic building blocks of a language and are very similar to what you would see in other popular languages, domain types are what make Wasp special, as they model the concepts of a web app like `page`, `route` and similar.
- Fundamental types ([source of truth](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/blob/main/waspc/src/Wasp/Analyzer/Type.hs))
- Primitive types
- **string** (`"foo"`, `"they said: \"hi\""`)
- **bool** (`true`, `false`)
- **number** (`12`, `14.5`)
- **declaration reference** (name of existing declaration: `TaskPage`, `updateTask`)
- **ExtImport** (external import) (`import Foo from "@src/bar.js"`, `import { Smth } from "@src/a/b.js"`)
- The path has to start with "@src". The rest is relative to the `src` directory.
- Import has to be a default import `import Foo` or a single named import `import { Foo }`.
- **json** (`{=json { a: 5, b: ["hi"] } json=}`)
- **psl** (Prisma Schema Language) (`{=psl <psl data model syntax> psl=}`)
- Check [Prisma docs](https://www.prisma.io/docs/concepts/components/prisma-schema/data-model) for the syntax of psl data model.
- Composite types
- **dict** (dictionary) (`{ a: 5, b: "foo" }`)
- **list** (`[1, 2, 3]`)
- **tuple** (`(1, "bar")`, `(2, 4, true)`)
- Tuples can be of size 2, 3 and 4.
- Domain types ([source of truth](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/blob/main/waspc/src/Wasp/Analyzer/StdTypeDefinitions.hs))
- Declaration types
- **action**
- **api**
- **apiNamespace**
- **app**
- **entity**
- **job**
- **page**
- **query**
- **route**
- **crud**
- Enum types
- **DbSystem**
- **HttpMethod**
- **JobExecutor**
- **EmailProvider**
You can find more details about each of the domain types, both regarding their body types and what they mean, in the corresponding doc pages covering their features.

We will give a brief overview of what Wasp is, how it works on a high level and when to use it.
## Wasp is a tool to build modern web applications
It is an opinionated way of building **full-stack web applications**. It takes care of all three
major parts of a web application: **client** (front-end), **server** (back-end) and **database**.
### Works well with your existing stack
Wasp is not trying to do everything at once but rather focuses on the complexity
which arises from connecting all the parts of the stack (client, server, database, deployment) together.
Wasp is using **React**, **Node.js** and **Prisma** under the hood and relies on them to define web components and server queries and actions.
### Wasp's secret sauce
At the core is the Wasp compiler which takes the Wasp config and your Javascript code and outputs the client app, server app and deployment code.
<!-- ![Wasp compilation diagram](/img/lp/wasp-compilation-diagram.png) -->
<ImgWithCaption
source="/img/lp/wasp-compilation-diagram.png"
caption="How the magic happens 🌈"
/>
The cool thing about having a compiler that understands your code is that it can do a lot of things for you.
Define your app in the Wasp config and get:
- login and signup with Auth UI components,
- full-stack type safety,
- e-mail sending,
- async processing jobs,
- React Query powered data fetching,
- security best practices,
- and more.
You don't need to write any code for these features, Wasp will take care of it for you 🤯 And what's even better, Wasp also maintains the code for you, so you don't have to worry about keeping up with the latest security best practices. As Wasp updates, so does your app.
## So what does the code look like?
Let's say you want to build a web app that allows users to **create and share their favorite recipes**.
Let's start with the main.wasp file: it is the central file of your app, where you describe the app from the high level.
Let's give our app a title and let's immediately turn on the full-stack authentication via username and password:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app RecipeApp {
title: "My Recipes",
wasp: { version: "^0.13.0" },
auth: {
methods: { usernameAndPassword: {} },
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login",
userEntity: User
}
}
```
Let's then add the data models for your recipes. We will want to have Users and Users can own Recipes:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
...
entity User {=psl // Data models are defined using Prisma Schema Language.
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
recipes Recipe[]
psl=}
entity Recipe {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
title String
description String?
userId Int
user User @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
psl=}
```
Next, let's define how to do something with these data models!
We do that by defining Operations, in this case a Query `getRecipes` and Action `addRecipe`,
which are in their essence a Node.js functions that execute on server and can, thanks to Wasp, very easily be called from the client.
First, we define these Operations in our main.wasp file, so Wasp knows about them and can "beef them up":
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// Queries have automatic cache invalidation and are type-safe.
query getRecipes {
fn: import { getRecipes } from "@src/recipe/operations.ts",
entities: [Recipe],
}
// Actions are type-safe and can be used to perform side-effects.
action addRecipe {
fn: import { addRecipe } from "@src/recipe/operations.ts",
entities: [Recipe],
}
```
... and then implement them in our Javascript (or TypeScript) code (we show just the query here, using TypeScript):
```ts title="src/recipe/operations.ts"
// Wasp generates the types for you.
import { type GetRecipes } from "wasp/server/operations";
import { type Recipe } from "wasp/entities";
export const getRecipes: GetRecipes<{}, Recipe[]> = async (_args, context) => {
return context.entities.Recipe.findMany( // Prisma query
{ where: { user: { id: context.user.id } } }
);
};
export const addRecipe ...
```
Now we can very easily use these in our React components!
For the end, let's create a home page of our app.
First we define it in main.wasp:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
...
route HomeRoute { path: "/", to: HomePage }
page HomePage {
component: import { HomePage } from "@src/pages/HomePage",
authRequired: true // Will send user to /login if not authenticated.
}
```
and then implement it as a React component in JS/TS (that calls the Operations we previously defined):
```tsx title="src/pages/HomePage.tsx"
import { useQuery, getRecipes } from "wasp/client/operations";
import { type User } from "wasp/entities";
export function HomePage({ user }: { user: User }) {
// Due to full-stack type safety, `recipes` will be of type `Recipe[]` here.
const { data: recipes, isLoading } = useQuery(getRecipes); // Calling our query here!
if (isLoading) {
return <div>Loading...</div>;
}
return (
<div>
<h1>Recipes</h1>
<ul>
{recipes ? recipes.map((recipe) => (
<li key={recipe.id}>
<div>{recipe.title}</div>
<div>{recipe.description}</div>
</li>
)) : 'No recipes defined yet!'}
</ul>
</div>
);
}
```
And voila! We are listing all the recipes in our app 🎉
This was just a quick example to give you a taste of what Wasp is. For step by step tour through the most important Wasp features, check out the [Todo app tutorial](../tutorial/01-create.md).
:::note
Above we skipped defining `/login` and `/signup` pages to keep the example a bit shorter, but those are very simple to do by using Wasp's Auth UI feature.
:::
## When to use Wasp
Wasp is addressing the same core problems that typical web app frameworks are addressing, and it in big part [looks, swims and quacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_test) like a web app framework.
### Best used for
- building full-stack web apps (like e.g. Airbnb or Asana)
- quickly starting a web app with industry best practices
- to be used alongside modern web dev stack (currently supported React and Node)
### Avoid using Wasp for
- building static/presentational websites
- to be used as a no-code solution
- to be a solve-it-all tool in a single language
## Wasp is a DSL
:::note
You don't need to know what a DSL is to use Wasp, but if you are curious, you can read more about it below.
:::
Wasp does not match typical expectations of a web app framework: it is not a set of libraries, it is instead a simple programming language that understands your code and can do a lot of things for you.
Wasp is a programming language, but a specific kind: it is specialized for a single purpose: **building modern web applications**. We call such languages *DSL*s (Domain Specific Language).
Other examples of *DSL*s that are often used today are e.g. *SQL* for databases and *HTML* for web page layouts.
The main advantage and reason why *DSL*s exist is that they need to do only one task (e.g. database queries)
so they can do it well and provide the best possible experience for the developer.
The same idea stands behind Wasp - a language that will allow developers to **build modern web applications with 10x less code and less stack-specific knowledge**.

**Experiencing the 'Bad CPU type in executable' issue on a device with arm64 (Apple Silicon)?**
Given that the wasp binary is built for x86 and not for arm64 (Apple Silicon), you'll need to install [Rosetta on your Mac](https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211861) if you are using a Mac with Mx (M1, M2, ...). Rosetta is a translation process that enables users to run applications designed for x86 on arm64 (Apple Silicon). To install Rosetta, run the following command in your terminal
```bash
softwareupdate --install-rosetta
```
Once Rosetta is installed, you should be able to run Wasp without any issues.

<TabItem value='win'>
With Wasp for Windows, we are almost there: Wasp is successfully compiling and running on Windows but there is a bug or two stopping it from fully working. Check it out [here](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/48) if you are interested in helping.
In the meantime, the best way to start using Wasp on Windows is by using [WSL](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install). Once you set up Ubuntu on WSL, just follow Linux instructions for installing Wasp. You can refer to this [article](https://wasp-lang.dev/blog/2023/11/21/guide-windows-development-wasp-wsl) if you prefer a step by step guide to using Wasp in WSL environment. If you need further help, reach out to us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/rzdnErX) - we have some community members using WSL that might be able to help you.
:::caution
If you are using WSL2, make sure that your Wasp project is not on the Windows file system, but instead on the Linux file system. Otherwise, Wasp won't be able to detect file changes, due to the [issue in WSL2](https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4739).

</TabItem>
<TabItem value='source'>
If the installer is not working for you or your OS is not supported, you can try building Wasp from the source.
To install from source, you need to clone the [wasp repo](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp), install [Cabal](https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting-started.html) on your machine and then run `cabal install` from the `waspc/` dir.
If you have never built Wasp before, this might take some time due to `cabal` downloading dependencies for the first time.

title: Migration from 0.12.X to 0.13.X
---
:::note Are you on 0.11.X or earlier?
This guide only covers the migration from **0.12.X to 0.13.X**. If you are migrating from 0.11.X or earlier, please read the [migration guide from 0.11.X to 0.12.X](./migrate-from-0-11-to-0-12.md) first.
:::
## What's new in 0.13.0?
### OAuth providers got an overhaul
Wasp 0.13.0 switches away from using Passport for our OAuth providers in favor of [Arctic](https://arctic.js.org/) from the [Lucia](https://lucia-auth.com/) ecosystem. This change simplifies the codebase and makes it easier to add new OAuth providers in the future.
### We added Keycloak as an OAuth provider
Wasp now supports using [Keycloak](https://www.keycloak.org/) as an OAuth provider.
## How to migrate?
### Migrate your OAuth setup
We had to make some breaking changes to upgrade the OAuth setup to the new Arctic lib.
Follow the steps below to migrate:
1. **Define the `WASP_SERVER_URL` server env variable**
In 0.13.0 Wasp introduces a new server env variable `WASP_SERVER_URL` that you need to define. This is the URL of your Wasp server and it's used to generate the redirect URL for the OAuth providers.
```bash title="Server env variables"
WASP_SERVER_URL=https://your-wasp-server-url.com
```
In development, Wasp sets the `WASP_SERVER_URL` to `http://localhost:3001` by default.
:::info Migrating a deployed app
If you are migrating a deployed app, you will need to define the `WASP_SERVER_URL` server env variable in your deployment environment.
Read more about setting env variables in production [here](./project/env-vars#defining-env-vars-in-production).
:::
2. **Update the redirect URLs** for the OAuth providers
The redirect URL for the OAuth providers has changed. You will need to update the redirect URL for the OAuth providers in the provider's dashboard.
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="before" label="Before">
```
{clientUrl}/auth/login/{provider}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="after" label="After">
```
{serverUrl}/auth/{provider}/callback
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Check the new redirect URLs for [Google](./auth/social-auth/google.md#3-creating-a-google-oauth-app) and [GitHub](./auth/social-auth/github.md#3-creating-a-github-oauth-app) in Wasp's docs.
3. **Update the `configFn`** for the OAuth providers
If you didn't use the `configFn` option, you can skip this step.
If you used the `configFn` to configure the `scope` for the OAuth providers, you will need to rename the `scope` property to `scopes`.
Also, the object returned from `configFn` no longer needs to include the Client ID and the Client Secret. You can remove them from the object that `configFn` returns.
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="before" label="Before">
```ts title="google.ts"
export function getConfig() {
return {
clientID: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET,
scope: ['profile', 'email'],
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="after" label="After">
```ts title="google.ts"
export function getConfig() {
return {
scopes: ['profile', 'email'],
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
4. **Update the `userSignupFields` fields** to use the new `profile` format
If you didn't use the `userSignupFields` option, you can skip this step.
The data format for the `profile` that you receive from the OAuth providers has changed. You will need to update your code to reflect this change.
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="before" label="Before">
```ts title="google.ts"
import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'
export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
displayName: (data: any) => data.profile.displayName,
})
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="after" label="After">
```ts title="google.ts"
import { defineUserSignupFields } from 'wasp/server/auth'
export const userSignupFields = defineUserSignupFields({
displayName: (data: any) => data.profile.name,
})
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Wasp now directly forwards what it receives from the OAuth providers. You can check the data format for [Google](./auth/social-auth/google.md#data-received-from-google) and [GitHub](./auth/social-auth/github.md#data-received-from-github) in Wasp's docs.
That's it!
You should now be able to run your app with the new Wasp 0.13.0.

:::caution Setting the correct env variable
If you set the `baseDir` option, make sure that the `WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL` env variable also includes that base directory.
For example, if you are serving your app from `https://example.com/my-app`, the `WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL` should be also set to `https://example.com/my-app`, and not just `https://example.com`.

import { ShowForTs, ShowForJs } from '@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers'
You can configure the client using the `client` field inside the `app` declaration:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
client: {
rootComponent: import Root from "@src/Root.jsx",
setupFn: import mySetupFunction from "@src/myClientSetupCode.js"
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {

// ...
client: {
rootComponent: import Root from "@src/Root.tsx",
setupFn: import mySetupFunction from "@src/myClientSetupCode.ts"
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## Root Component
Wasp gives you the option to define a "wrapper" component for your React app.
It can be used for a variety of purposes, but the most common ones are:
- Defining a common layout for your application.
- Setting up various providers that your application needs.
### Defining a Common Layout
Let's define a common layout for your application:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
client: {
rootComponent: import Root from "@src/Root.jsx",
}
}
```
```jsx title="src/Root.jsx"
export default function Root({ children }) {
return (
<div>
<header>
<h1>My App</h1>
</header>
{children}
<footer>
<p>My App footer</p>
</footer>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
client: {
rootComponent: import Root from "@src/Root.tsx",
}
}
```
```tsx title="src/Root.tsx"
export default function Root({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
return (
<div>
<header>
<h1>My App</h1>
</header>
{children}
<footer>
<p>My App footer</p>
</footer>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Setting up a Provider
This is how to set up various providers that your application needs:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
client: {
rootComponent: import Root from "@src/Root.jsx",
}
}
```
```jsx title="src/Root.jsx"
import store from './store'
import { Provider } from 'react-redux'
export default function Root({ children }) {
return <Provider store={store}>{children}</Provider>
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
client: {
rootComponent: import Root from "@src/Root.tsx",
}
}
```
```tsx title="src/Root.tsx"
import store from './store'
import { Provider } from 'react-redux'
export default function Root({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
return <Provider store={store}>{children}</Provider>
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
As long as you render the children, you can do whatever you want in your root
component.
Read more about the root component in the [API Reference](#rootcomponent-extimport).
## Setup Function
`setupFn` declares a <ShowForTs>Typescript</ShowForTs><ShowForJs>JavaScript</ShowForJs> function that Wasp executes on the client before everything else.
### Running Some Code
We can run any code we want in the setup function.
For example, here's a setup function that logs a message every hour:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/myClientSetupCode.js"
export default async function mySetupFunction() {
let count = 1
setInterval(
() => console.log(`You have been online for ${count++} hours.`),
1000 * 60 * 60
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/myClientSetupCode.ts"
export default async function mySetupFunction(): Promise<void> {
let count = 1
setInterval(
() => console.log(`You have been online for ${count++} hours.`),
1000 * 60 * 60
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Overriding Default Behaviour for Queries
:::info
You can change the options for a **single** Query using the `options` object, as described [here](../data-model/operations/queries#the-usequery-hook-1).
:::
Wasp's `useQuery` hook uses `react-query`'s `useQuery` hook under the hood. Since `react-query` comes configured with aggressive but sane default options, you most likely won't have to change those defaults for all Queries.
If you do need to change the global defaults, you can do so inside the client setup function.
Wasp exposes a `configureQueryClient` hook that lets you configure _react-query_'s `QueryClient` object:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/myClientSetupCode.js"
import { configureQueryClient } from 'wasp/client/operations'
export default async function mySetupFunction() {
// ... some setup
configureQueryClient({
defaultOptions: {
queries: {
staleTime: Infinity,
},
},
})
// ... some more setup
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/myClientSetupCode.ts"
import { configureQueryClient } from 'wasp/client/operations'
export default async function mySetupFunction(): Promise<void> {
// ... some setup
configureQueryClient({
defaultOptions: {
queries: {
staleTime: Infinity,
},
},
})
// ... some more setup
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Make sure to pass in an object expected by the `QueryClient`'s constructor, as
explained in
[react-query's docs](https://tanstack.com/query/v4/docs/react/reference/QueryClient).
Read more about the setup function in the [API Reference](#setupfn-extimport).
## Base Directory
If you need to serve the client from a subdirectory, you can use the `baseDir` option:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
client: {
baseDir: "/my-app",
}
}
```
This means that if you serve your app from `https://example.com/my-app`, the
router will work correctly, and all the assets will be served from
`https://example.com/my-app`.
<BaseDirEnvNote />
## API Reference
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
client: {
rootComponent: import Root from "@src/Root.jsx",
setupFn: import mySetupFunction from "@src/myClientSetupCode.js"
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">

setupFn: import mySetupFunction from "@src/myClientSetupCode.ts",
baseDir: "/my-app",
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Client has the following options:
- #### `rootComponent: ExtImport`
`rootComponent` defines the root component of your client application. It is
expected to be a React component, and Wasp will use it to wrap your entire app.
It must render its children, which are the actual pages of your application.
Here's an example of a root component that both sets up a provider and
renders a custom layout:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/Root.jsx"
import store from './store'
import { Provider } from 'react-redux'
export default function Root({ children }) {
return (
<Provider store={store}>
<Layout>{children}</Layout>
</Provider>
)
}
function Layout({ children }) {
return (
<div>
<header>
<h1>My App</h1>
</header>
{children}
<footer>
<p>My App footer</p>
</footer>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/Root.tsx"
import store from './store'
import { Provider } from 'react-redux'
export default function Root({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
return (
<Provider store={store}>
<Layout>{children}</Layout>
</Provider>
)
}
function Layout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
return (
<div>
<header>
<h1>My App</h1>
</header>
{children}
<footer>
<p>My App footer</p>
</footer>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
- #### `setupFn: ExtImport`
<ShowForTs>
`setupFn` declares a Typescript function that Wasp executes on the client
before everything else. It is expected to be asynchronous, and
Wasp will await its completion before rendering the page. The function takes no
arguments, and its return value is ignored.
</ShowForTs>
<ShowForJs>
`setupFn` declares a JavaScript function that Wasp executes on the client
before everything else. It is expected to be asynchronous, and
Wasp will await its completion before rendering the page. The function takes no
arguments, and its return value is ignored.
</ShowForJs>
You can use this function to perform any custom setup (e.g., setting up
client-side periodic jobs).
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/myClientSetupCode.js"
export default async function mySetupFunction() {
// Run some code
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/myClientSetupCode.ts"
export default async function mySetupFunction(): Promise<void> {
// Run some code
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
- #### `baseDir: String`
If you need to serve the client from a subdirectory, you can use the `baseDir` option.
If you set `baseDir` to `/my-app` for example, that will make Wasp set the `basename` prop of the `Router` to
`/my-app`. It will also set the `base` option of the Vite config to `/my-app`.
This means that if you serve your app from `https://example.com/my-app`, the router will work correctly, and all the assets will be served from `https://example.com/my-app`.

## Tailwind
To enable support for Tailwind in your project, you need to add two config files — [`tailwind.config.cjs`](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/configuration#configuration-options) and `postcss.config.cjs` — to the root directory.
With these files present, Wasp installs the necessary dependencies and copies your configuration to the generated project. You can then use [Tailwind CSS directives](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/functions-and-directives#directives) in your CSS and Tailwind classes on your React components.

:::tip Tailwind not working?
If you can not use Tailwind after adding the required config files, make sure to restart `wasp start`. This is sometimes needed to ensure that Wasp picks up the changes and enables Tailwind integration.
:::
### Enabling Tailwind Step-by-Step
:::caution
Make sure to use the `.cjs` extension for these config files, if you name them with a `.js` extension, Wasp will not detect them.
:::
1. Add `./tailwind.config.cjs`.
```js title="./tailwind.config.cjs"
const { resolveProjectPath } = require('wasp/dev')
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
content: [resolveProjectPath('./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}')],
theme: {
extend: {},
},
plugins: [],
}
```
2. Add `./postcss.config.cjs`.
```js title="./postcss.config.cjs"
module.exports = {
plugins: {
tailwindcss: {},
autoprefixer: {},
},
}
```
3. Import Tailwind into your CSS file. For example, in a new project you might import Tailwind into `Main.css`.
```css title="./src/Main.css" {1-3}
@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;
/* ... */
```
4. Start using Tailwind 🥳
```jsx title="./src/MainPage.jsx"
// ...
<h1 className="text-3xl font-bold underline">
Hello world!
</h1>
// ...
```
### Adding Tailwind Plugins
To add Tailwind plugins, install them as npm development [dependencies](../project/dependencies) and add them to the plugins list in your `tailwind.config.cjs` file:
```shell
npm install -D @tailwindcss/forms
npm install -D @tailwindcss/typography
```
and also
```js title="./tailwind.config.cjs" {5-6}
/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
// ...
plugins: [
require('@tailwindcss/forms'),
require('@tailwindcss/typography'),
],
// ...
}
```

title: Custom Vite Config
---
import { ShowForTs, ShowForJs } from '@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers'
Wasp uses [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/) to serve the client during development and bundling it for production. If you want to customize the Vite config, you can do that by editing the `vite.config.{js,ts}` file in your project root directory.
Wasp will use your config and **merge** it with the default Wasp's Vite config.
Vite config customization can be useful for things like:
- Adding custom Vite plugins.
- Customising the dev server.
- Customising the build process.
Be careful with making changes to the Vite config, as it can break the Wasp's client build process. Check out the default Vite config [here](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/blob/release/waspc/data/Generator/templates/react-app/vite.config.ts) to see what you can change.
## Examples
Below are some examples of how you can customize the Vite config.
### Changing the Dev Server Behaviour
If you want to stop Vite from opening the browser automatically when you run `wasp start`, you can do that by customizing the `open` option.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="vite.config.js"
export default {
server: {
open: false,
},
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="vite.config.ts"
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
export default defineConfig({
server: {
open: false,
},
})
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Custom Dev Server Port
You have access to all of the [Vite dev server options](https://vitejs.dev/config/server-options.html) in your custom Vite config. You can change the dev server port by setting the `port` option.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="vite.config.js"
export default {
server: {
port: 4000,
},
}
```
```env title=".env.server"
WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL=http://localhost:4000
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="vite.config.ts"
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
export default defineConfig({
server: {
port: 4000,
},
})
```
```env title=".env.server"
WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL=http://localhost:4000
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
:::warning Changing the dev server port
⚠️ Be careful when changing the dev server port, you'll need to update the `WASP_WEB_CLIENT_URL` env var in your `.env.server` file.
:::
### Customising the Base Path
If you, for example, want to serve the client from a different path than `/`, you can do that by customizing the `base` option.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="vite.config.js"
export default {
base: '/my-app/',
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="vite.config.ts"
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
export default defineConfig({
base: '/my-app/',
})
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>

title: Customizing the App
---
import { Required } from '@site/src/components/Tag';
Each Wasp project can have only one `app` type declaration. It is used to configure your app and its components.
```wasp
app todoApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "ToDo App",
head: [
"<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500&display=swap\" />"
]
}
```
We'll go through some common customizations you might want to do to your app. For more details on each of the fields, check out the [API Reference](#api-reference).
### Changing the App Title
You may want to change the title of your app, which appears in the browser tab, next to the favicon. You can change it by changing the `title` field of your `app` declaration:
```wasp
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "BookFace"
}
```
### Adding Additional Lines to the Head
If you are looking to add additional style sheets or scripts to your app, you can do so by adding them to the `head` field of your `app` declaration.
An example of adding extra style sheets and scripts:
```wasp
app myApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "My App",
head: [ // optional
"<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500&display=swap\" />",
"<script src=\"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/Chart.js/2.9.3/Chart.min.js\"></script>",
"<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"minimum-scale=1, initial-scale=1, width=device-width\" />"
]
}
```
## API Reference
```wasp
app todoApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "ToDo App",
head: [
"<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:300,400,500&display=swap\" />"
],
auth: {
// ...
},
client: {
// ...
},
server: {
// ...
},
db: {
// ...
},
emailSender: {
// ...
},
webSocket: {
// ...
}
}
```
The `app` declaration has the following fields:
- `wasp: dict` <Required />
Wasp compiler configuration. It is a dictionary with a single field:
- `version: string` <Required />
The version specifies which versions of Wasp are compatible with the app. It should contain a valid [SemVer range](https://github.com/npm/node-semver#ranges)
:::info
For now, the version field only supports caret ranges (i.e., `^x.y.z`). Support for the full specification will come in a future version of Wasp
:::
- `title: string` <Required />
Title of your app. It will appear in the browser tab, next to the favicon.
- `head: [string]`
List of additional lines (e.g. `<link>` or `<script>` tags) to be included in the `<head>` of your HTML document.
The rest of the fields are covered in dedicated sections of the docs:
- `auth: dict`
Authentication configuration. Read more in the [authentication section](../auth/overview) of the docs.
- `client: dict`
Configuration for the client side of your app. Read more in the [client configuration section](../project/client-config) of the docs.
- `server: dict`
Configuration for the server side of your app. Read more in the [server configuration section](../project/server-config) of the docs.
- `db: dict`
Database configuration. Read more in the [database configuration section](../data-model/backends) of the docs.
- `emailSender: dict`
Email sender configuration. Read more in the [email sending section](../advanced/email) of the docs.
- `webSocket: dict`
WebSocket configuration. Read more in the [WebSocket section](../advanced/web-sockets) of the docs.

title: Dependencies
---
In a Wasp project, dependencies are defined in a standard way for JavaScript projects: using the [package.json](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/configuring-npm/package-json) file, located at the root of your project. You can list your dependencies under the `dependencies` or `devDependencies` fields.
### Adding a New Dependency
To add a new package, like `date-fns` (a great date handling library), you use `npm`:
```bash
npm install date-fns
```
This command will add the package in the `dependencies` section of your `package.json` file.
You will notice that there are some other packages in the `dependencies` section, like `react` and `wasp`. These are the packages that Wasp uses internally, and you should not modify or remove them.
### Using Packages that are Already Used by Wasp Internally
In the current version of Wasp, if Wasp is already internally using a certain dependency (e.g. React) with a certain version specified, you are not allowed to define that same npm dependency yourself while specifying _a different version_.
If you do that, you will get an error message telling you which exact version you have to use for that dependency.
This means Wasp _dictates exact versions of certain packages_, so for example you can't choose the version of React you want to use.
:::note
We are currently working on a restructuring that will solve this and some other quirks: check [issue #734](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/734) to follow our progress.

title: Env Variables
---
**Environment variables** are used to configure projects based on the context in which they run. This allows them to exhibit different behaviors in different environments, such as development, staging, or production.
For instance, _during development_, you may want your project to connect to a local development database running on your machine, but _in production_, you may prefer it to connect to the production database. Similarly, in development, you may want to use a test Stripe account, while in production, your app should use a real Stripe account.
While some env vars are required by Wasp, such as the database connection or secrets for social auth, you can also define your env vars for any other useful purposes.
In Wasp, you can use environment variables in both the client and the server code.
## Client Env Vars
Client environment variables are embedded into the client code during the build and shipping process, making them public and readable by anyone. Therefore, you should **never store secrets in them** (such as secret API keys).
To enable Wasp to pick them up, client environment variables must be prefixed with `REACT_APP_`, for example: `REACT_APP_SOME_VAR_NAME=...`.
You can read them from the client code like this:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/App.js"
console.log(import.meta.env.REACT_APP_SOME_VAR_NAME)
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/App.ts"
console.log(import.meta.env.REACT_APP_SOME_VAR_NAME)
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Check below on how to define them.
## Server Env Vars
In server environment variables, you can store secret values (e.g. secret API keys) since are not publicly readable. You can define them without any special prefix, such as `SOME_VAR_NAME=...`.
You can read them in the server code like this:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js
console.log(process.env.SOME_VAR_NAME)
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts
console.log(process.env.SOME_VAR_NAME)
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Check below on how to define them.
## Defining Env Vars in Development
During development, there are two ways to provide env vars to your Wasp project:
1. Using `.env` files. **(recommended)**
2. Using shell. (useful for overrides)
### 1. Using .env (dotenv) Files
![Env vars usage in development](/img/env/prod_dev_fade.svg)
This is the recommended method for providing env vars to your Wasp project during development.
In the root of your Wasp project you can create two distinct files:
- `.env.server` for env vars that will be provided to the server.
Variables are defined in these files in the form of `NAME=VALUE`, for example:
```shell title=".env.server"
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://localhost:5432
SOME_VAR_NAME=somevalue
```
- `.env.client` for env vars that will be provided to the client.
Variables are defined in these files in the form of `NAME=VALUE`, for example:
```shell title=".env.client"
REACT_APP_SOME_VAR_NAME=somevalue
```
These files should not be committed to version control, and they are already ignored by default in the `.gitignore` file that comes with Wasp.
<!-- `dotenv` files are a popular method for storing configuration: to learn more about them in general, check out the [README of the lib we use for them](https://github.com/stackbuilders/dotenv-hs). -->
### 2. Using Shell
If you set environment variables in the shell where you run your Wasp commands (e.g., `wasp start`), Wasp will recognize them.
You can set environment variables in the `.profile` or a similar file, or by defining them at the start of a command:
```shell
SOME_VAR_NAME=SOMEVALUE wasp start
```
This is not specific to Wasp and is simply how environment variables can be set in the shell.
Defining environment variables in this way can be cumbersome even for a single project and even more challenging to manage if you have multiple Wasp projects. Therefore, we do not recommend this as a default method for providing environment variables to Wasp projects. However, it can be useful for occasionally **overriding** specific environment variables because environment variables set this way **take precedence over those defined in `.env` files**.
## Defining Env Vars in Production
While in development, we had the option of using `.env` files which made it easy to define and manage env vars. However, in production, we need to provide env vars differently.
![Env vars usage in development and production](/img/env/prod_dev_fade_2.svg)
### Client Env Vars
Client env vars are embedded into the client code during the build and shipping process, making them public and readable by anyone. Therefore, you should **never store secrets in them** (such as secret API keys).
You should provide them to the build command, for example:
```shell
REACT_APP_SOME_VAR_NAME=somevalue npm run build
```
:::info How it works
What happens behind the scenes is that Wasp will replace all occurrences of `import.meta.env.REACT_APP_SOME_VAR_NAME` with the value you provided. This is done during the build process, so the value is embedded into the client code.
Read more about it in Vite's [docs](https://vitejs.dev/guide/env-and-mode.html#production-replacement).
:::
### Server Env Vars
The way you provide env vars to your Wasp project in production depends on where you deploy it. For example, if you deploy your project to [Fly](https://fly.io), you can define them using the `flyctl` CLI tool:
```shell
flyctl secrets set SOME_VAR_NAME=somevalue
```
You can read a lot more details in the [deployment section](../advanced/deployment/manually) of the docs. We go into detail on how to define env vars for each deployment option.

title: Server Config
---
import { ShowForTs, ShowForJs } from "@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers";
You can configure the behavior of the server via the `server` field of `app` declaration:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
server: {
setupFn: import { mySetupFunction } from "@src/myServerSetupCode.js",
middlewareConfigFn: import { myMiddlewareConfigFn } from "@src/myServerSetupCode.js"
}
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
server: {
setupFn: import { mySetupFunction } from "@src/myServerSetupCode.js",
middlewareConfigFn: import { myMiddlewareConfigFn } from "@src/myServerSetupCode.js"
}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
## Setup Function
<ShowForTs>
`setupFn` declares a Typescript function that will be executed on server start.
</ShowForTs>
<ShowForJs>
`setupFn` declares a Javascript function that will be executed on server start.
</ShowForJs>
### Adding a Custom Route
As an example, adding a custom route would look something like:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/myServerSetupCode.ts"
export const mySetupFunction = async ({ app }) => {
addCustomRoute(app)
}
function addCustomRoute(app) {
app.get('/customRoute', (_req, res) => {
res.send('I am a custom route')
})
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/myServerSetupCode.ts"
import { ServerSetupFn } from 'wasp/server'
import { Application } from 'express'
export const mySetupFunction: ServerSetupFn = async ({ app }) => {
addCustomRoute(app)
}
function addCustomRoute(app: Application) {
app.get('/customRoute', (_req, res) => {
res.send('I am a custom route')
})
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Storing Some Values for Later Use
In case you want to store some values for later use, or to be accessed by the [Operations](../data-model/operations/overview) you do that in the `setupFn` function.
Dummy example of such function and its usage:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/myServerSetupCode.js"
let someResource = undefined
export const mySetupFunction = async () => {
// Let's pretend functions setUpSomeResource and startSomeCronJob
// are implemented below or imported from another file.
someResource = await setUpSomeResource()
startSomeCronJob()
}
export const getSomeResource = () => someResource
```
```js title="src/queries.js"
import { getSomeResource } from './myServerSetupCode.js'
...
export const someQuery = async (args, context) => {
const someResource = getSomeResource()
return queryDataFromSomeResource(args, someResource)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/myServerSetupCode.ts"
import { type ServerSetupFn } from 'wasp/server'
let someResource = undefined
export const mySetupFunction: ServerSetupFn = async () => {
// Let's pretend functions setUpSomeResource and startSomeCronJob
// are implemented below or imported from another file.
someResource = await setUpSomeResource()
startSomeCronJob()
}
export const getSomeResource = () => someResource
```
```ts title="src/queries.ts"
import { type SomeQuery } from 'wasp/server/operations'
import { getSomeResource } from './myServerSetupCode.js'
...
export const someQuery: SomeQuery<...> = async (args, context) => {
const someResource = getSomeResource()
return queryDataFromSomeResource(args, someResource)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
:::note
The recommended way is to put the variable in the same module where you defined the setup function and then expose additional functions for reading those values, which you can then import directly from Operations and use.
This effectively turns your module into a singleton whose construction is performed on server start.
:::
Read more about [server setup function](#setupfn-extimport) below.
## Middleware Config Function
You can configure the global middleware via the `middlewareConfigFn`. This will modify the middleware stack for all operations and APIs.
Read more about [middleware config function](#middlewareconfigfn-extimport) below.
## API Reference
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app MyApp {
title: "My app",
// ...
server: {
setupFn: import { mySetupFunction } from "@src/myServerSetupCode.js",
middlewareConfigFn: import { myMiddlewareConfigFn } from "@src/myServerSetupCode.js"
}
}

}
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
`app.server` is a dictionary with the following fields:
- #### `setupFn: ExtImport`
`setupFn` declares a <ShowForTs>Typescript</ShowForTs><ShowForJs>Javascript</ShowForJs> function that will be executed on server start. This function is expected to be async and will be awaited before the server starts accepting any requests.
It allows you to do any custom setup, e.g. setting up additional database/websockets or starting cron/scheduled jobs.
The `setupFn` function receives the `express.Application` and the `http.Server` instances as part of its context. They can be useful for setting up any custom server logic.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/myServerSetupCode.js"
export const mySetupFunction = async () => {
await setUpSomeResource()
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
Types for the setup function and its context are as follows:
```ts title="wasp/server"
export type ServerSetupFn = (context: ServerSetupFnContext) => Promise<void>
export type ServerSetupFnContext = {
app: Application // === express.Application
server: Server // === http.Server
}
```
```ts title="src/myServerSetupCode.ts"
import { type ServerSetupFn } from 'wasp/server'
export const mySetupFunction: ServerSetupFn = async () => {
await setUpSomeResource()

title: Static Asset Handling
---
import { ShowForJs, ShowForTs } from '@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers'
## Importing an Asset as URL
Importing a static asset (e.g. an image) will return its URL. For example:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/App.jsx"
import imgUrl from './img.png'
function App() {
return <img src={imgUrl} alt="img" />
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```jsx title="src/App.tsx"
import imgUrl from './img.png'
function App() {
return <img src={imgUrl} alt="img" />
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
For example, `imgUrl` will be `/img.png` during development, and become `/assets/img.2d8efhg.png` in the production build.
This is what you want to use most of the time, as it ensures that the asset file exists and is included in the bundle.
We are using Vite under the hood, read more about importing static assets in Vite's [docs](https://vitejs.dev/guide/assets.html#importing-asset-as-url).
## The `public` Directory
If you have assets that are:
- Never referenced in source code (e.g. robots.txt)
- Must retain the exact same file name (without hashing)
- ...or you simply don't want to have to import an asset first just to get its URL
Then you can place the asset in the `public` directory at the root of your project:
```
.
└── public
├── favicon.ico
└── robots.txt
```
Assets in this directory will be served at root path `/` during development and copied to the root of the dist directory as-is.
For example, if you have a file `favicon.ico` in the `public` directory, and your app is hosted at `https://myapp.com`, it will be made available at `https://myapp.com/favicon.ico`.
:::info Usage in client code
Note that:
- You should always reference public assets using root absolute path
- for example, `public/icon.png` should be referenced in source code as `/icon.png`.
- Assets in the `public` directory **cannot be imported** from <ShowForJs>JavaScript</ShowForJs><ShowForTs>TypeScript</ShowForTs>.

Wasp enables you to quickly and easily write both unit tests and React component tests for your frontend code. Because Wasp uses [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/), we support testing web apps through [Vitest](https://vitest.dev/).
<details>
<summary>Included Libraries</summary>
<div>
[`vitest`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vitest): Unit test framework with native Vite support.
[`@vitest/ui`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@vitest/ui): A nice UI for seeing your test results.
[`jsdom`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/jsdom): A web browser test environment for Node.js.
[`@testing-library/react`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@testing-library/react) / [`@testing-library/jest-dom`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@testing-library/jest-dom): Testing helpers.
[`msw`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/msw): A server mocking library.
</div>
</details>
### Writing Tests
For Wasp to pick up your tests, they should be placed within the `src` directory and use an extension that matches [these glob patterns](https://vitest.dev/config#include). Some of the file names that Wasp will pick up as tests:
- `yourFile.test.ts`
- `YourComponent.spec.jsx`
Within test files, you can import your other source files as usual. For example, if you have a component `Counter.jsx`, you test it by creating a file in the same directory called `Counter.test.jsx` and import the component with `import Counter from './Counter'`.
### Running Tests
Running `wasp test client` will start Vitest in watch mode and recompile your Wasp project when changes are made.
- If you want to see a real-time UI, pass `--ui` as an option.
- To run the tests just once, use `wasp test client run`.
All arguments after `wasp test client` are passed directly to the Vitest CLI, so check out [their documentation](https://vitest.dev/guide/cli.html) for all of the options.
:::warning Be Careful
You should not run `wasp test` while `wasp start` is running. Both will try to compile your project to `.wasp/out`.
:::
### React Testing Helpers
Wasp provides several functions to help you write React tests:
- `renderInContext`: Takes a React component, wraps it inside a `QueryClientProvider` and `Router`, and renders it. This is the function you should use to render components in your React component tests.
```js
import { renderInContext } from "wasp/client/test";
renderInContext(<MainPage />);
```
- `mockServer`: Sets up the mock server and returns an object containing the `mockQuery` and `mockApi` utilities. This should be called outside of any test case, in each file that wants to use those helpers.
```js
import { mockServer } from "wasp/client/test";
const { mockQuery, mockApi } = mockServer();
```
- `mockQuery`: Takes a Wasp [query](../data-model/operations/queries) to mock and the JSON data it should return.
```js
import { getTasks } from "wasp/client/operations";
mockQuery(getTasks, []);
```
- Helpful when your component uses `useQuery`.
- Behind the scenes, Wasp uses [`msw`](https://npmjs.com/package/msw) to create a server request handle that responds with the specified data.
- Mock are cleared between each test.
- `mockApi`: Similar to `mockQuery`, but for [APIs](../advanced/apis). Instead of a Wasp query, it takes a route containing an HTTP method and a path.
```js
import { HttpMethod } from "wasp/client";
mockApi({ method: HttpMethod.Get, path: "/foor/bar" }, { res: "hello" });
```
## Testing Your Server-Side Code
Wasp currently does not provide a way to test your server-side code, but we will be adding support soon. You can track the progress at [this GitHub issue](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/110) and express your interest by commenting.
## Examples
You can see some tests in a Wasp project [here](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/blob/release/waspc/examples/todoApp/src/client/pages/auth/helpers.test.ts).

title: Telemetry
---
## Overview
The term **telemetry** refers to the collection of certain usage data to help improve the quality of a piece of software (in this case, Wasp).
Our telemetry implementation is anonymized and very limited in its scope, focused on answering following questions:
- How many people and how often: tried to install Wasp, use Wasp, have built a Wasp app, or have deployed one?
- How many projects are created with Wasp?
## When and what is sent?
- Information is sent via HTTPS request when `wasp` CLI command is invoked.
Information is sent no more than twice in a period of 12 hours (sending is paused for 12 hours after last invocation, separately for `wasp build` command and for all other commands). Exact information as it is sent:
```json
{
// Randomly generated, non-identifiable UUID representing a user.
"distinct_id": "bf3fa7a8-1c11-4f82-9542-ec1a2d28786b",
// Non-identifiable hash representing a project.
"project_hash": "6d7e561d62b955d1",
// True if command was `wasp build`, false otherwise.
"is_build": true,
// Captures `wasp deploy ...` args, but only those from the limited, pre-defined list of keywords.
// Those are "fly", "setup", "create-db", "deploy" and "cmd". Everything else is ommited.
"deploy_cmd_args": "fly;deploy",
"wasp_version": "0.1.9.1",
"os": "linux",
// "CI" if running on CI, and whatever is the content of "WASP_TELEMETRY_CONTEXT" env var.
// We use this to track when execution is happening in some special context, like on Gitpod, Replit or similar.
"context": "CI"
}
```
- Information is also sent once via HTTPS request when wasp is installed via `install.sh` script. Exact information as it is sent:
```json
{
// Randomly generated id.
"distinct_id": "274701613078193779564259",
"os": "linux"
}
```
## Opting out
You sharing the telemetry data with us means a lot to us, since it helps us understand how popular Wasp is, how it is being used, how the changes we are doing affect usage, how many new vs old users there are, and just in general how Wasp is doing. We look at these numbers every morning and they drive us to make Wasp better.
However, if you wish to opt-out of telemetry, we understand!
You can do so by setting the `WASP_TELEMETRY_DISABLE` environment variable to any value, e.g.:
```
export WASP_TELEMETRY_DISABLE=1
```
## Future plans
We don't have this implemented yet, but the next step will be to make telemetry go in two directions -> instead of just sending usage data to us, it will also at the same time check for any messages from our side (e.g. notification about new version of Wasp, or a security notice).

title: 1. Creating a New Project
---
import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl';
:::info
You'll need to have the latest version of Wasp installed locally to follow this tutorial. If you haven't installed it yet, check out the [QuickStart](../quick-start) guide!
:::
In this section, we'll guide you through the process of creating a simple Todo app with Wasp. In the process, we'll take you through the most important and useful features of Wasp.
<img alt="How Todo App will work once it is done"
src={useBaseUrl('img/todo-app-tutorial-intro.gif')}
style={{ border: "1px solid black" }}
/>
<br />
<br />
If you get stuck at any point (or just want to chat), reach out to us on [Discord](https://discord.gg/rzdnErX) and we will help you!
You can find the complete code of the app we're about to build [here](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/tree/release/examples/tutorials/TodoApp).
## Creating a Project
To setup a new Wasp project, run the following command in your terminal
```sh
$ wasp new TodoApp
```
Enter the newly created directory and start the development server:
```sh
$ cd TodoApp
$ wasp start
```
:::note
`wasp start` will take a bit of time to start the server the first time you run it in a new project.
:::
You will see log messages from the client, server, and database setting themselves up. When everything is ready, a new tab should open in your browser at `http://localhost:3000` with a simple placeholder page:
<img alt="Screenshot of new Wasp app"
src={useBaseUrl('img/wasp-new-screenshot.png')}
height="400px"
style={{ border: "1px solid black" }}
/>
<br />
<br />
Wasp has generated for you the full front-end and back-end code the app! Next, we'll take a closer look at how the project is structured.

title: 2. Project Structure
---
import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl';
import { ShowForTs } from '@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers';
After creating a new Wasp project, you'll get a file structure that looks like this:
```
.
├── .gitignore
├── main.wasp # Your Wasp code goes here.
├── package.json # Your dependencies and project info go here.
├── package-lock.json
├── public # Your static files (e.g., images, favicon) go here.
├── src # Your source code (TS/JS/CSS/HTML) goes here.
│   ├── Main.css
│   ├── MainPage.jsx
│   ├── vite-env.d.ts
│   └── waspLogo.png
├── tsconfig.json
├── vite.config.ts
├── .waspignore
└── .wasproot
```
By _your code_, we mean the _"the code you write"_, as opposed to the code generated by Wasp. Wasp allows you to organize and structure your code however you think is best - there's no need to separate client files and server files into different directories.
:::note
We'd normally recommend organizing code by features (i.e., vertically).
However, since this tutorial contains only a handful of files, there's no need for fancy organization.
We'll keep it simple by placing everything in the root `src` directory.
:::
Many other files (e.g., `tsconfig.json`, `vite-env.d.ts`, `.wasproot`, etc.) help Wasp and the IDE improve your development experience with autocompletion, IntelliSense, and error reporting.
The `vite.config.ts` file is used to configure [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/guide/), Wasp's build tool of choice.
We won't be configuring Vite in this tutorial, so you can safely ignore the file. Still, if you ever end up wanting more control over Vite, you'll find everything you need to know in [custom Vite config docs](../project/custom-vite-config.md).
There's no need to spend more time discussing all the helper files. They'll silently do their job in the background and let you focus on building your app.
:::note TypeScript Support
Wasp supports TypeScript out of the box, but you are free to choose between or mix JavaScript and TypeScript as you see fit.
We'll provide you with both JavaScript and TypeScript code in this tutorial. Code blocks will have a toggle to switch between vanilla JavaScript and TypeScript.
:::
The most important file in the project is `main.wasp`. Wasp uses the configuration within it to perform its magic. Based on what you write, it generates a bunch of code for your database, server-client communication, React routing, and more.
Let's take a closer look at `main.wasp`
## `main.wasp`
`main.wasp` is your app's definition file.
It defines the app's central components and helps Wasp to do a lot of the legwork for you.
The file is a list of _declarations_. Each declaration defines a part of your app.
The default `main.wasp` file generated with `wasp new` on the previous page looks like this:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app TodoApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0" // Pins the version of Wasp to use.
},
title: "TodoApp" // Used as the browser tab title. Note that all strings in Wasp are double quoted!
}
route RootRoute { path: "/", to: MainPage }
page MainPage {
// We specify that the React implementation of the page is exported from
// `src/MainPage.jsx`. This statement uses standard JS import syntax.
// Use `@src` to reference files inside the `src` folder.
component: import { MainPage } from "@src/MainPage"
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app TodoApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0" // Pins the version of Wasp to use.
},
title: "TodoApp" // Used as the browser tab title. Note that all strings in Wasp are double quoted!
}
route RootRoute { path: "/", to: MainPage }
page MainPage {
// We specify that the React implementation of the page is exported from
// `src/MainPage.tsx`. This statement uses standard JS import syntax.
// Use `@src` to reference files inside the `src` folder.
component: import { MainPage } from "@src/MainPage"
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
<ShowForTs>
:::caution Using TypeScript
The default project uses JavaScript. To use TypeScript, you must rename the file
`src/MainPage.jsx` to `src/MainPage.tsx`.
No updates to the `main.wasp` file are necessary - it stays the same regardless of the language you use.
:::
</ShowForTs>
This file uses three declaration types:
- **app**: Top-level configuration information about your app.
- **route**: Describes which path each page should be accessible from.
- **page**: Defines a web page and the React component that gets rendered when the page is loaded.
In the next section, we'll explore how **route** and **page** work together to build your web app.

title: 3. Pages & Routes
---
import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl';
import { ShowForTs } from '@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers';
In the default `main.wasp` file created by `wasp new`, there is a **page** and a **route** declaration:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
route RootRoute { path: "/", to: MainPage }
page MainPage {
// We specify that the React implementation of the page is exported from
// `src/MainPage.jsx`. This statement uses standard JS import syntax.
// Use `@src` to reference files inside the `src` folder.
component: import { MainPage } from "@src/MainPage"
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
route RootRoute { path: "/", to: MainPage }
page MainPage {
// We specify that the React implementation of the page is exported from
// `src/MainPage.tsx`. This statement uses standard JS import syntax.
// Use `@src` to reference files inside the `src` folder.
component: import { MainPage } from "@src/MainPage"
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Together, these declarations tell Wasp that when a user navigates to `/`, it should render the named export from `src/MainPage.{jsx,tsx}`.
## The MainPage Component
Let's take a look at the React component referenced by the page declaration:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/MainPage.jsx"
import waspLogo from './waspLogo.png'
import './Main.css'
export const MainPage = () => {
// ...
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/MainPage.tsx"
import waspLogo from './waspLogo.png'
import './Main.css'
export const MainPage = () => {
// ...
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
This is a regular functional React component. It also uses the CSS file and a logo image that sit next to it in the `src` folder.
That is all the code you need! Wasp takes care of everything else necessary to define, build, and run the web app.
:::tip
`wasp start` automatically picks up the changes you make and restarts the app, so keep it running in the background.
:::
## Adding a Second Page
To add more pages, you can create another set of **page** and **route** declarations. You can even add parameters to the URL path, using the same syntax as [React Router](https://reactrouter.com/web/). Let's test this out by adding a new page:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
route HelloRoute { path: "/hello/:name", to: HelloPage }
page HelloPage {
component: import { HelloPage } from "@src/HelloPage"
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
route HelloRoute { path: "/hello/:name", to: HelloPage }
page HelloPage {
component: import { HelloPage } from "@src/HelloPage"
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
When a user visits `/hello/their-name`, Wasp will render the component exported from `src/HelloPage.{jsx,tsx}` and pass the URL parameter the same way as in React Router:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/HelloPage.jsx"
export const HelloPage = (props) => {
return <div>Here's {props.match.params.name}!</div>
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/HelloPage.tsx"
import { RouteComponentProps } from 'react-router-dom'
export const HelloPage = (
props: RouteComponentProps<{ name: string }>
) => {
return <div>Here's {props.match.params.name}!</div>
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Now you can visit `/hello/johnny` and see "Here's johnny!"
<ShowForTs>
:::tip Type-safe links
Since you are using Typescript, you can benefit from using Wasp's type-safe `Link` component and the `routes` object. Check out the [type-safe links docs](../advanced/links) for more details.
:::
</ShowForTs>
## Cleaning Up
Now that you've seen how Wasp deals with Routes and Pages, it's finally time to build the Todo app.
Start by cleaning up the starter project and removing unnecessary code and files.
First, remove most of the code from the `MainPage` component:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/MainPage.jsx"
export const MainPage = () => {
return <div>Hello world!</div>
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/MainPage.tsx"
export const MainPage = () => {
return <div>Hello world!</div>
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
At this point, the main page should look like this:
<img alt="Todo App - Hello World"
src={useBaseUrl('img/todo-app-hello-world.png')}
style={{ border: "1px solid black" }}
/>
You can now delete redundant files: `src/Main.css`, `src/waspLogo.png`, and `src/HelloPage.{jsx,tsx}` (we won't need this page for the rest of the tutorial).
Since `src/HelloPage.{jsx,tsx}` no longer exists, remove its `route` and `page` declarations from the `main.wasp` file.
Your Wasp file should now look like this:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app TodoApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "TodoApp"
}
route RootRoute { path: "/", to: MainPage }
page MainPage {
component: import { MainPage } from "@src/MainPage"
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app TodoApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "TodoApp"
}
route RootRoute { path: "/", to: MainPage }
page MainPage {
component: import { MainPage } from "@src/MainPage"
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Excellent work!
You now have a basic understanding of Wasp and are ready to start building your TodoApp.
We'll implement the app's core features in the following sections.

title: 4. Database Entities
---
import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl';
Entities are one of the most important concepts in Wasp and are how you define what gets stored in the database.
Since our Todo app is all about tasks, we will define a Task entity in the Wasp file:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
entity Task {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
description String
isDone Boolean @default(false)
psl=}
```
:::note
Wasp uses [Prisma](https://www.prisma.io) as a way to talk to the database. You define entities by defining [Prisma models](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-schema/data-model/) using the Prisma Schema Language (PSL) between the `{=psl psl=}` tags.
Read more in the [Entities](../data-model/entities) section of the docs.
:::
To update the database schema to include this entity, stop the `wasp start` process, if it's running, and run:
```sh
wasp db migrate-dev
```
You'll need to do this any time you change an entity's definition. It instructs Prisma to create a new database migration and apply it to the database.
To take a look at the database and the new `Task` entity, run:
```sh
wasp db studio
```
This will open a new page in your browser to view and edit the data in your database.
<img alt="Todo App - Db studio showing Task schema"
src={useBaseUrl('img/todo-app-db-studio-task-entity.png')}
style={{ border: "1px solid black" }}
/>
Click on the `Task` entity and check out its fields! We don't have any data in our database yet, but we are about to change that.

We want to know which tasks we need to do, so let's list them!
The primary way of working with Entities in Wasp is with [Queries and Actions](../data-model/operations/overview), collectively known as **_Operations_**.
Queries are used to read an entity, while Actions are used to create, modify, and delete entities. Since we want to list the tasks, we'll want to use a Query.
To list the tasks, you must:
1. Create a Query that fetches the tasks from the database.
2. Update the `MainPage.{jsx,tsx}` to use that Query and display the results.
## Defining the Query
We'll create a new Query called `getTasks`. We'll need to declare the Query in the Wasp file and write its implementation in <ShowForJs>JS</ShowForJs><ShowForTs>TS</ShowForTs>.
### Declaring a Query
We need to add a **query** declaration to `main.wasp` so that Wasp knows it exists:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
query getTasks {
// Specifies where the implementation for the query function is.
// The path `@src/queries` resolves to `src/queries.js`.
// No need to specify an extension.
fn: import { getTasks } from "@src/queries",
// Tell Wasp that this query reads from the `Task` entity. Wasp will
// automatically update the results of this query when tasks are modified.
entities: [Task]
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
query getTasks {
// Specifies where the implementation for the query function is.
// The path `@src/queries` resolves to `src/queries.ts`.
// No need to specify an extension.
fn: import { getTasks } from "@src/queries",
// Tell Wasp that this query reads from the `Task` entity. Wasp will
// automatically update the results of this query when tasks are modified.
entities: [Task]
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Implementing a Query
<ShowForJs>
Next, create a new file called `src/queries.js` and define the JavaScript function we've just imported in our `query` declaration:
</ShowForJs>
<ShowForTs>
Next, create a new file called `src/queries.ts` and define the TypeScript function we've just imported in our `query` declaration:
</ShowForTs>
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/queries.js"
export const getTasks = async (args, context) => {
return context.entities.Task.findMany({
orderBy: { id: 'asc' },
})
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```js title="src/queries.ts"
import { Task } from 'wasp/entities'
import { type GetTasks } from 'wasp/server/operations'
export const getTasks: GetTasks<void, Task[]> = async (args, context) => {
return context.entities.Task.findMany({
orderBy: { id: 'asc' },
})
}
```
Wasp automatically generates the types `GetTasks` and `Task` based on the contents of `main.wasp`:
- `Task` is a type corresponding to the `Task` entity we've defined in `main.wasp`.
- `GetTasks` is a generic type Wasp automatically generated based on the `getTasks` Query we've defined in `main.wasp`.
You can use these types to specify the Query's input and output types. This Query doesn't expect any arguments (its input type is `void`), but it does return an array of tasks (its output type is `Task[]`).
Annotating the Queries is optional, but highly recommended because doing so enables **full-stack type safety**. We'll see what this means in the next step.
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Query function parameters:
- `args: object`
The arguments the caller passes to the Query.
- `context`
An object with extra information injected by Wasp. Its type depends on the Query declaration.
Since the Query declaration in `main.wasp` says that the `getTasks` Query uses `Task` entity, Wasp injected a [Prisma client](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-client/crud) for the `Task` entity as `context.entities.Task` - we used it above to fetch all the tasks from the database.
:::info
Queries and Actions are NodeJS functions executed on the server.
:::
## Invoking the Query On the Frontend
While we implement Queries on the server, Wasp generates client-side functions that automatically take care of serialization, network calls, and cache invalidation, allowing you to call the server code like it's a regular function.
This makes it easy for us to use the `getTasks` Query we just created in our React component:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx {1,4-13,16-35} title="src/MainPage.jsx"
import { getTasks, useQuery } from 'wasp/client/operations'
export const MainPage = () => {
const { data: tasks, isLoading, error } = useQuery(getTasks)
return (
<div>
{tasks && <TasksList tasks={tasks} />}
{isLoading && 'Loading...'}
{error && 'Error: ' + error}
</div>
)
}
const TaskView = ({ task }) => {
return (
<div>
<input type="checkbox" id={String(task.id)} checked={task.isDone} />
{task.description}
</div>
)
}
const TasksList = ({ tasks }) => {
if (!tasks?.length) return <div>No tasks</div>
return (
<div>
{tasks.map((task, idx) => (
<TaskView task={task} key={idx} />
))}
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx {1-2,5-14,17-36} title="src/MainPage.tsx"
import { Task } from 'wasp/entities'
import { getTasks, useQuery } from 'wasp/client/operations'
export const MainPage = () => {
const { data: tasks, isLoading, error } = useQuery(getTasks)
return (
<div>
{tasks && <TasksList tasks={tasks} />}
{isLoading && 'Loading...'}
{error && 'Error: ' + error}
</div>
)
}
const TaskView = ({ task }: { task: Task }) => {
return (
<div>
<input type="checkbox" id={String(task.id)} checked={task.isDone} />
{task.description}
</div>
)
}
const TasksList = ({ tasks }: { tasks: Task[] }) => {
if (!tasks?.length) return <div>No tasks</div>
return (
<div>
{tasks.map((task, idx) => (
<TaskView task={task} key={idx} />
))}
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Most of this code is regular React, the only exception being the <ShowForJs>two</ShowForJs><ShowForTs>three</ShowForTs> special `wasp` imports:
<ShowForJs>
- `getTasks` - The client-side Query function Wasp generated based on the `getTasks` declaration in `main.wasp`.
- `useQuery` - Wasp's [useQuery](../data-model/operations/queries#the-usequery-hook-1) React hook, which is based on [react-query](https://github.com/tannerlinsley/react-query)'s hook with the same name.
</ShowForJs>
<ShowForTs>
- `getTasks` - The client-side Query function Wasp generated based on the `getTasks` declaration in `main.wasp`.
- `useQuery` - Wasp's [useQuery](../data-model/operations/queries#the-usequery-hook-1) React hook, which is based on [react-query](https://github.com/tannerlinsley/react-query)'s hook with the same name.
- `Task` - The type for the Task entity defined in `main.wasp`.
Notice how you don't need to annotate the type of the Query's return value: Wasp uses the types you defined while implementing the Query for the generated client-side function. This is **full-stack type safety**: the types on the client always match the types on the server.
</ShowForTs>
We could have called the Query directly using `getTasks()`, but the `useQuery` hook makes it reactive: React will re-render the component every time the Query changes. Remember that Wasp automatically refreshes Queries whenever the data is modified.
With these changes, you should be seeing the text "No tasks" on the screen:
<img alt="Todo App - No Tasks"
src={useBaseUrl('img/todo-app-no-tasks.png')}
style={{ border: "1px solid black" }}
/>
We'll create a form to add tasks in the next step 🪄

title: 6. Modifying Data
---
import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl';
import { ShowForTs, ShowForJs } from '@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers';
import Collapse from '@site/src/components/Collapse';
In the previous section, we learned about using Queries to fetch data and only briefly mentioned that Actions can be used to update the database. Let's learn more about Actions so we can add and update tasks in the database.
We have to create:
1. A Wasp Action that creates a new task.
2. A React form that calls that Action when the user creates a task.
## Creating a New Action
Creating an Action is very similar to creating a Query.
### Declaring an Action
We must first declare the Action in `main.wasp`:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
action createTask {
fn: import { createTask } from "@src/actions",
entities: [Task]
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
action createTask {
fn: import { createTask } from "@src/actions",
entities: [Task]
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
### Implementing an Action
Let's now define a <ShowForJs>JavaScript</ShowForJs><ShowForTs>TypeScript</ShowForTs> function for our `createTask` Action:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/actions.js"
export const createTask = async (args, context) => {
return context.entities.Task.create({
data: { description: args.description },
})
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/actions.ts"
import { Task } from 'wasp/entities'
import { CreateTask } from 'wasp/server/operations'
type CreateTaskPayload = Pick<Task, 'description'>
export const createTask: CreateTask<CreateTaskPayload, Task> = async (
args,
context
) => {
return context.entities.Task.create({
data: { description: args.description },
})
}
```
Once again, we've annotated the Action with the `CreateTask` and `Task` types generated by Wasp. Just like with queries, defining the types on the implementation makes them available on the frontend, giving us **full-stack type safety**.
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
:::tip
We put the function in a new file `src/actions.{js,ts}`, but we could have put it anywhere we wanted! There are no limitations here, as long as the declaration in the Wasp file imports it correctly and the file is located within `src` directory.
:::
## Invoking the Action on the Client
Start by defining a form for creating new tasks.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/MainPage.jsx"
import {
// highlight-next-line
createTask,
getTasks,
useQuery
} from 'wasp/client/operations'
// ... MainPage, TaskView, TaskList ...
// highlight-start
const NewTaskForm = () => {
const handleSubmit = async (event) => {
event.preventDefault()
try {
const target = event.target
const description = target.description.value
target.reset()
await createTask({ description })
} catch (err) {
window.alert('Error: ' + err.message)
}
}
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<input name="description" type="text" defaultValue="" />
<input type="submit" value="Create task" />
</form>
)
}
// highlight-end
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/MainPage.tsx"
// highlight-next-line
import { FormEvent } from 'react'
import { Task } from 'wasp/entities'
import {
// highlight-next-line
createTask,
getTasks,
useQuery
} from 'wasp/client/operations'
// ... MainPage, TaskView, TaskList ...
// highlight-start
const NewTaskForm = () => {
const handleSubmit = async (event: FormEvent<HTMLFormElement>) => {
event.preventDefault()
try {
const target = event.target as HTMLFormElement
const description = target.description.value
target.reset()
await createTask({ description })
} catch (err: any) {
window.alert('Error: ' + err.message)
}
}
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<input name="description" type="text" defaultValue="" />
<input type="submit" value="Create task" />
</form>
)
}
// highlight-end
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Unlike Queries, you can call Actions directly (i.e., without wrapping it with a hook) because we don't need reactivity. The rest is just regular React code.
<ShowForTs>
Finally, because we've previously annotated the Action's server implementation with the correct type, Wasp knows that the `createTask` Action expects a value of type `{ description: string }` (try changing the argument and reading the error message). Wasp also knows that a call to the `createTask` Action returns a `Task` but are not using it in this example.
</ShowForTs>
All that's left now is adding this form to the page component:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/MainPage.jsx"
import {
createTask,
getTasks,
useQuery
} from 'wasp/client/operations'
const MainPage = () => {
const { data: tasks, isLoading, error } = useQuery(getTasks)
return (
<div>
// highlight-next-line
<NewTaskForm />
{tasks && <TasksList tasks={tasks} />}
{isLoading && 'Loading...'}
{error && 'Error: ' + error}
</div>
)
}
// ... TaskView, TaskList, NewTaskForm ...
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/MainPage.tsx"
import { FormEvent } from 'react'
import { Task } from 'wasp/entities'
import {
createTask,
getTasks,
useQuery
} from 'wasp/client/operations'
const MainPage = () => {
const { data: tasks, isLoading, error } = useQuery(getTasks)
return (
<div>
// highlight-next-line
<NewTaskForm />
{tasks && <TasksList tasks={tasks} />}
{isLoading && 'Loading...'}
{error && 'Error: ' + error}
</div>
)
}
// ... TaskList, TaskView, NewTaskForm ...
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Great work!
You now have a form for creating new tasks.
Try creating a "Build a Todo App in Wasp" task and see it appear in the list below. The task is created on the server and saved in the database.
Try refreshing the page or opening it in another browser. You'll see the tasks are still there!
<img alt="Todo App - creating new task"
src={useBaseUrl('img/todo-app-new-task.png')}
style={{ border: "1px solid black" }}
/>
<br />
<br />
:::note Automatic Query Invalidation
When you create a new task, the list of tasks is automatically updated to display the new task, even though we have not written any code that would do that! Wasp handles these automatic updates under the hood.
When you declared the `getTasks` and `createTask` operations, you specified that they both use the `Task` entity. So when `createTask` is called, Wasp knows that the data `getTasks` fetches may have changed and automatically updates it in the background. This means that **out of the box, Wasp keeps all your queries in sync with any changes made through Actions**.
This behavior is convenient as a default but can cause poor performance in large apps. While there is no mechanism for overriding this behavior yet, it is something that we plan to include in Wasp in the future. This feature is tracked [here](https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/63).
:::
## A Second Action
Our Todo app isn't finished if you can't mark a task as done.
We'll create a new Action to update a task's status and call it from React whenever a task's checkbox is toggled.
Since we've already created one task together, try to create this one yourself. It should be an Action named `updateTask` that receives the task's `id` and its `isDone` status. You can see our implementation below.
<Collapse title="Solution">
Declaring the Action in `main.wasp`:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">

You can now mark this task as done.
It's time to make one final addition to your app: supporting multiple users.

title: 7. Adding Authentication
---
import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl';
import { ShowForTs, ShowForJs } from '@site/src/components/TsJsHelpers';
Most modern apps need a way to create and authenticate users. Wasp makes this as easy as possible with its first-class auth support.
To add users to your app, you must:
- [ ] Create a `User` Entity.
- [ ] Tell Wasp to use the _Username and Password_ authentication.
- [ ] Add login and signup pages.
- [ ] Update the main page to require authentication.
- [ ] Add a relation between `User` and `Task` entities.
- [ ] Modify your Queries and Actions so users can only see and modify their tasks.
- [ ] Add a logout button.
## Creating a User Entity
Since Wasp manages authentication, it will create [the auth related entities](../auth/entities) for you in the background. Nothing to do here!
You must only add the `User` Entity to keep track of who owns which tasks.
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
entity User {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
psl=}
```
## Adding Auth to the Project
Next, tell Wasp to use full-stack [authentication](../auth/overview):
```wasp title="main.wasp"
app TodoApp {
wasp: {
version: "^0.13.0"
},
title: "TodoApp",
// highlight-start
auth: {
// Tells Wasp which entity to use for storing users.
userEntity: User,
methods: {
// Enable username and password auth.
usernameAndPassword: {}
},
// We'll see how this is used in a bit.
onAuthFailedRedirectTo: "/login"
}
// highlight-end
}
// ...
```
Don't forget to update the database schema by running:
```sh
wasp db migrate-dev
```
By doing this, Wasp will create:
- [Auth UI](../auth/ui) with login and signup forms.
- A `logout()` action.
- A React hook `useAuth()`.
- `context.user` for use in Queries and Actions.
:::info
Wasp also supports authentication using [Google](../auth/social-auth/google), [GitHub](../auth/social-auth/github), and [email](../auth/email), with more on the way!
:::
## Adding Login and Signup Pages
Wasp creates the login and signup forms for us, but we still need to define the pages to display those forms on. We'll start by declaring the pages in the Wasp file:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
route SignupRoute { path: "/signup", to: SignupPage }
page SignupPage {
component: import { SignupPage } from "@src/SignupPage"
}
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { LoginPage } from "@src/LoginPage"
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
route SignupRoute { path: "/signup", to: SignupPage }
page SignupPage {
component: import { SignupPage } from "@src/SignupPage"
}
route LoginRoute { path: "/login", to: LoginPage }
page LoginPage {
component: import { LoginPage } from "@src/LoginPage"
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Great, Wasp now knows these pages exist!
Here's the React code for the pages you've just imported:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/LoginPage.jsx"
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
export const LoginPage = () => {
return (
<div style={{ maxWidth: '400px', margin: '0 auto' }}>
<LoginForm />
<br />
<span>
I don't have an account yet (<Link to="/signup">go to signup</Link>).
</span>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/LoginPage.tsx"
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
import { LoginForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
export const LoginPage = () => {
return (
<div style={{ maxWidth: '400px', margin: '0 auto' }}>
<LoginForm />
<br />
<span>
I don't have an account yet (<Link to="/signup">go to signup</Link>).
</span>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
The signup page is very similar to the login page:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/SignupPage.jsx"
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
import { SignupForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
export const SignupPage = () => {
return (
<div style={{ maxWidth: '400px', margin: '0 auto' }}>
<SignupForm />
<br />
<span>
I already have an account (<Link to="/login">go to login</Link>).
</span>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/SignupPage.tsx"
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom'
import { SignupForm } from 'wasp/client/auth'
export const SignupPage = () => {
return (
<div style={{ maxWidth: '400px', margin: '0 auto' }}>
<SignupForm />
<br />
<span>
I already have an account (<Link to="/login">go to login</Link>).
</span>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
<ShowForTs>
:::tip Type-safe links
Since you are using Typescript, you can benefit from using Wasp's type-safe `Link` component and the `routes` object. Check out the [type-safe links docs](../advanced/links) for more details.
:::
</ShowForTs>
## Update the Main Page to Require Auth
We don't want users who are not logged in to access the main page, because they won't be able to create any tasks. So let's make the page private by requiring the user to be logged in:
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
page MainPage {
// highlight-next-line
authRequired: true,
component: import { MainPage } from "@src/MainPage"
}
```
Now that auth is required for this page, unauthenticated users will be redirected to `/login`, as we specified with `app.auth.onAuthFailedRedirectTo`.
Additionally, when `authRequired` is `true`, the page's React component will be provided a `user` object as prop.
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx title="src/MainPage.jsx"
// highlight-next-line
export const MainPage = ({ user }) => {
// Do something with the user
// ...
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx title="src/MainPage.tsx"
import { AuthUser } from 'wasp/auth'
// highlight-next-line
export const MainPage = ({ user }: { user: AuthUser }) => {
// Do something with the user
// ...
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
Ok, time to test this out. Navigate to the main page (`/`) of the app. You'll get redirected to `/login`, where you'll be asked to authenticate.
Since we just added users, you don't have an account yet. Go to the signup page and create one. You'll be sent back to the main page where you will now be able to see the TODO list!
Let's check out what the database looks like. Start the Prisma Studio:
```shell
wasp db studio
```
<img alt="Database demonstration - password hashing"
src={useBaseUrl('img/wasp_user_in_db.gif')}
style={{ border: "1px solid black" }}
/>
You'll notice that we now have a `User` entity in the database alongside the `Task` entity.
However, you will notice that if you try logging in as different users and creating some tasks, all users share the same tasks. That's because we haven't yet updated the queries and actions to have per-user tasks. Let's do that next.
<small>
You might notice some extra Prisma models like `Auth`, `AuthIdentity` and `Session` that Wasp created for us. You don't need to care about these right now, but if you are curious, you can read more about them [here](../auth/entities).
</small>
## Defining a User-Task Relation
First, let's define a one-to-many relation between users and tasks (check the [Prisma docs on relations](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-schema/relations)):
```wasp title="main.wasp"
// ...
entity User {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
// highlight-next-line
tasks Task[]
psl=}
entity Task {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
description String
isDone Boolean @default(false)
// highlight-next-line
user User? @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
// highlight-next-line
userId Int?
psl=}
// ...
```
As always, you must migrate the database after changing the Entities:
```sh
wasp db migrate-dev
```
:::note
We made `user` and `userId` in `Task` optional (via `?`) because that allows us to keep the existing tasks, which don't have a user assigned, in the database.
This isn't recommended because it allows an unwanted state in the database (what is the purpose of the task not belonging to anybody?) and normally we would not make these fields optional.
Instead, we would do a data migration to take care of those tasks, even if it means just deleting them all. However, for this tutorial, for the sake of simplicity, we will stick with this.

## Updating Operations to Check Authentication
Next, let's update the queries and actions to forbid access to non-authenticated users and to operate only on the currently logged-in user's tasks:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js title="src/queries.js"
// highlight-next-line
import { HttpError } from 'wasp/server'
export const getTasks = async (args, context) => {
// highlight-start
if (!context.user) {
throw new HttpError(401)
}
// highlight-end
return context.entities.Task.findMany({
// highlight-next-line
where: { user: { id: context.user.id } },
orderBy: { id: 'asc' },
})
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts title="src/queries.ts"
import { Task } from 'wasp/entities'
// highlight-next-line
import { HttpError } from 'wasp/server'
import { GetTasks } from 'wasp/server/operations'
export const getTasks: GetTasks<void, Task[]> = async (args, context) => {
// highlight-start
if (!context.user) {
throw new HttpError(401)
}
// highlight-end
return context.entities.Task.findMany({
// highlight-next-line
where: { user: { id: context.user.id } },
orderBy: { id: 'asc' },
})
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```js {1,4-6,10,16-18} title="src/actions.js"
import { HttpError } from 'wasp/server'
export const createTask = async (args, context) => {
if (!context.user) {
throw new HttpError(401)
}
return context.entities.Task.create({
data: {
description: args.description,
user: { connect: { id: context.user.id } },
},
})
}
export const updateTask = async (args, context) => {
if (!context.user) {
throw new HttpError(401)
}
return context.entities.Task.updateMany({
where: { id: args.id, user: { id: context.user.id } },
data: { isDone: args.isDone },
})
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```ts {2,11-13,17,28-30,32} title="src/actions.ts"
import { Task } from 'wasp/entities'
import { HttpError } from 'wasp/server'
import { CreateTask, UpdateTask } from 'wasp/server/operations'
type CreateTaskPayload = Pick<Task, 'description'>
export const createTask: CreateTask<CreateTaskPayload, Task> = async (
args,
context
) => {
if (!context.user) {
throw new HttpError(401)
}
return context.entities.Task.create({
data: {
description: args.description,
user: { connect: { id: context.user.id } },
},
})
}
type UpdateTaskPayload = Pick<Task, 'id' | 'isDone'>
export const updateTask: UpdateTask<
UpdateTaskPayload,
{ count: number }
> = async ({ id, isDone }, context) => {
if (!context.user) {
throw new HttpError(401)
}
return context.entities.Task.updateMany({
where: { id, user: { id: context.user.id } },
data: { isDone },
})
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
:::note
Due to how Prisma works, we had to convert `update` to `updateMany` in `updateTask` action to be able to specify the user id in `where`.
:::
With these changes, each user should have a list of tasks that only they can see and edit.
Try playing around, adding a few users and some tasks for each of them. Then open the DB studio:
```sh
wasp db studio
```
<img alt="Database demonstration"
src={useBaseUrl('img/wasp_db_demonstration.gif')}
style={{ border: "1px solid black" }}
/>
You will see that each user has their tasks, just as we specified in our code!
## Logout Button
Last, but not least, let's add the logout functionality:
<Tabs groupId="js-ts">
<TabItem value="js" label="JavaScript">
```jsx {2,10} title="src/MainPage.jsx"
// ...
import { logout } from 'wasp/client/auth'
//...
const MainPage = () => {
// ...
return (
<div>
// ...
<button onClick={logout}>Logout</button>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="ts" label="TypeScript">
```tsx {2,10} title="src/MainPage.tsx"
// ...
import { logout } from 'wasp/client/auth'
//...
const MainPage = () => {
// ...
return (
<div>
// ...
<button onClick={logout}>Logout</button>
</div>
)
}
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
This is it, we have a working authentication system, and our Todo app is multi-user!

title: Vision
---
With Wasp, we want to make developing web apps easy and enjoyable, for novices and experts in web development alike.
Ideal we are striving for is that programming in Wasp feels like describing an app using a human language - like writing a specification document where you describe primarily your requirements and as little implementation details as possible.
Creating a new production-ready web app should be easy and deploying it to production should be straightforward.
That is why we believe Wasp needs to be a programming language (DSL) and not a library - we want to capture all parts of the web app into one integrated system that is perfectly tailored just for that purpose.
On the other hand, we believe that trying to capture every single detail in one language would not be reasonable.
There are solutions out there that work very well for the specific task they aim to solve (React for web components, CSS/HTML for design/markup, JS/TS for logic, ...) and we don't want to replace them with Wasp.
Instead, we see Wasp as a declarative "glue" code uniting all these specific solutions and providing a higher-level notion of the web app above them.
Wasp is still early in its development and therefore far from where we imagine it will be in the future.
This is what we imagine:
- **Declarative, static language** with simple basic rules and **that understands a lot of web app concepts** - "horizontal language". Supports multiple files/modules, libraries.
- **Integrates seamlessly with the most popular technologies** for building specific, more complex parts of the web app (React, CSS, JS, ...).
They can be used inline (mixed with Wasp code) or provided via external files.
- **Has hatches (escape mechanisms) that allow you to customize your web app** in all the right places, but remain hidden until you need them.
- **Entity (data model) is a first-class citizen** - defined via custom Wasp syntax and it integrates very closely with the rest of the features, serving as one of the central concepts around which everything is built.
- **Out of the box** support for CRUD UI based on the Entities, to get you quickly going, but also customizable to some level.
- **"Smart" operations (queries and actions)** that in most cases automatically figure out when to update, and if not it is easy to define custom logic to compensate for that. User worries about client-server gap as little as possible.
- Support, directly in Wasp, for **declaratively defining simple components and operations**.
- Besides Wasp as a programming language, there will also be a **visual builder that generates/edits Wasp code**, allowing non-developers to participate in development. Since Wasp is declarative, we imagine such builder to naturally follow from Wasp language.
- **Server side rendering, caching, packaging, security**, ... -> all those are taken care of by Wasp.
You tell Wasp what you want, and Wasp figures out how to do it.
- As **simple deployment to production/staging** as it gets.
- While it comes with the official implementation(s), **Wasp language will not be coupled with the single implementation**.
Others can provide implementations that compile to different web app stacks.

title: Creating New App with AI
---
import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl';
import ImgWithCaption from '@site/blog/components/ImgWithCaption'
Wasp comes with its own AI: Wasp AI, aka Mage (**M**agic web **A**pp **GE**nerator).
Wasp AI allows you to create a new Wasp app **from only a title and a short description** (using GPT in the background)!
There are two main ways to create a new Wasp app with Wasp AI:
1. Free, open-source online app [usemage.ai](https://usemage.ai).
2. Running `wasp new` on your machine and picking AI generation. For this you need to provide your own OpenAI API keys, but it allows for more flexibility (choosing GPT models).
They both use the same logic in the background, so both approaches are equally "smart", the difference is just in the UI / settings.
:::info
Wasp AI is an experimental feature. Apps that Wasp AI generates can have mistakes (proportional to their complexity), but even then they can often serve as a great starting point (once you fix the mistakes) or an interesting way to explore how to implement stuff in Wasp.
:::
## usemage.ai
<ImgWithCaption
source="img/gpt-wasp/how-it-works.gif"
caption="1. Describe your app 2. Pick the color 3. Generate your app 🚀"
/>
[Mage](https://usemage.ai) is an open-source app with which you can create new Wasp apps from just a short title and description.
It is completely free for you - it uses our OpenAI API keys and we take on the costs.
Once you provide an app title, app description, and choose some basic settings, your new Wasp app will be created for you in a matter of minutes and you will be able to download it to your machine and keep working on it!
If you want to know more, check this [blog post](/blog/2023/07/10/gpt-web-app-generator) for more details on how Mage works, or this [blog post](blog/2023/07/17/how-we-built-gpt-web-app-generator) for a high-level overview of how we implemented it.
## Wasp CLI
You can create a new Wasp app using Wasp AI by running `wasp new` in your terminal and picking AI generation.
If you don't have them set yet, `wasp` will ask you to provide (via ENV vars) your OpenAI API keys (which it will use to query GPT).
Then, after providing a title and description for your Wasp app, the new app will be generated on your disk!

import useBaseUrl from '@docusaurus/useBaseUrl';
While Wasp AI doesn't at the moment offer any additional help for developing your Wasp app with AI beyond initial generation, this is something we are exploring actively.
In the meantime, while waiting for Wasp AI to add support for this, we suggest checking out [aider](https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider), which is an AI pair programming tool in your terminal. This is a third-party tool, not affiliated with Wasp in any way, but we and some of Wasp users have found that it can be helpful when working on Wasp apps.

# Wasp docs writing guide
Our docs are the first touch point for new Wasp users.
It's the top of our funnel.
If we lose them on the docs, they will never get a chance to use Wasp (even if they might like it).
This guide combines the excellent [Vue Docs Writing Guide](https://github.com/vuejs/v2.vuejs.org/blob/master/writing-guide.md) and our own learnings from the process of writing documentation.
We've copied many of the points (mostly) verbatim, removed some that don't apply to Wasp, and added some that do.
We've also changed examples to be more relevant for Wasp.
## A word of caution
Writing the docs will take longer than you expect (even if you expect it will take a long time).
To make the process as painless as possible, read this guide thoroughly(with particular emphasis on the [Processes section](#processes)).
## Principles
- **A feature doesn't exist until it's well-documented.**
- **Respect users' cognitive capacity (i.e., brain power).** When a user starts reading, they begin with a certain amount of limited brain power. When they run out of brain power, they stop learning.
- Cognitive capacity is **depleted faster** by complex sentences, having to learn more than one concept at a time, and abstract examples that don't directly relate to a user's work.
- Cognitive capacity is **depleted more slowly** when we help them feel consistently smart, powerful, and curious. Breaking things down into digestible pieces and minding the flow of the document can help keep them in this state.
- **Always try to see things from the user's perspective.** When we understand something thoroughly, it becomes obvious to us. This is called _the curse of knowledge_. In order to write good documentation, try to remember what you first needed to know when learning this concept. What jargon did you need to learn? What did you misunderstand? What took a long time to really grasp? Good documentation meets users where they are. It can be helpful to practice explaining the concept to people in person before and during the writing process.
- **Describe the _problem_ first, then the solution.** Before showing how a feature works, it's important to explain why it exists. Otherwise, users won't have the context to know if this information is important to them (is it a problem they experience?) or what prior knowledge/experience to connect it to.
## Organization
### Organization of pages
- **Getting Started**:
- **Introduction** - Provides a less than 10-minute overview of the problems Wasp solves and explains why it exists.
- **Quick Start** - Provides short (less than 5 minutes) instructions on installing Wasp and starting the demo app. At the end, it links to the tutorial and the rest of our resources (Discord, editor setup, newsletter)
- **Editor Setup** - Provides short instructions (less than 5 minutes) on how to get the most out of Wasp in your editor, and which editors we currently support.
- **Tutorial**: Takes users through the journey of building a simple application in Wasp from scratch.
The goal is to make users feel smart, powerful, and curious.
Tutorial pages are meant to be read sequentially. Their order depends on how the implemented features depend on each other (e.g., to query the database, the user must first define database models).
- **Feature pages**: Explores all of Wasp's features.
The features are divided into several sections and don't need to be read sequentially.
See [Organization inside a page](#organization-inside-a-page) to see how to organize each page.
- **Data model**: Goes deeper into the Wasp's central feature - its data model (Entities, Actions, and Queries).
- **Authentication**: Covers everything there is to know about authentication in Wasp.
- **Project setup**: Explains how to customize and configure Wasp projects, how to run tests, how to set environment variables, etc. It goes into everything you could run into while building a project besides programming.
- **Advanced Features**: Describes all the remaining features. This section also follows the rules from [Organization inside a page](#organization-inside-a-page).
These are either features that most small apps won't need but are bound to come up in production-ready projects (e.g., deployment, recurring jobs, sending emails) or features useful for apps of all sizes that require more skill/familiarity with Wasp or TypeScript (e.g., Type-safe links).
- **General**: Includes an overview of the Wasp language and the CLI Reference.
- **Miscellaneous**: Talks about our vision, ways to contribute, the data we collect, and how to contact us.
### Organization inside a page
Each feature page is divided into two sections: **The guide**, and **The API reference**.
#### Guide
The guide tells a story about a feature and takes the reader through a step-by-step process to get the feature working.
It goes through the feature's most important parts and does not have to be exhaustive. The goal is to provide 20% of the knowledge that helps users handle 80% of use cases.
The guide is almost a tutorial, the only difference being that it can assume some context for the rest of the application.
The text can link to parts of the API reference, but you should avoid such links in most cases.
When you provide them, you also need to provide a context so users know whether they should follow this link on their first reading.
Otherwise, many users end up exhausting their cognitive capacity link-hopping, trying to fully learn every aspect of a feature before moving on, and as a result, never finish that first read-through of the guide.
Remember that a smooth read is more important than being thorough.
We want to give people the information they need to avoid a frustrating experience, but they can always come back and read further, or Google a less common problem when they encounter it.
#### API reference
The API reference is an exhaustive list of the feature's API and must describe everything:
1. The Wasp API (e.g., a declaration, mandatory and optional fields)
2. The JavaScript API (e.g., imports, available functions, arguments, etc.)
3. The CLI (i.e. CLI commands, their arguments, and usage examples)
#### General
Both the guide and the API Reference should be self-sufficient and contain examples showcasing the feature.
Always assume that the reader is only reading one or the other.
The guide doesn't need to explain everything about the feature, only the most important bits, but the API reference must be exhaustive.
Make sure to feature each example in all languages Wasp supports (currently TypeScript and JavaScript) using tabs.
You should almost always use tabs, even when there's no difference between the example in TypeScript and the example in JavaScript.
This might seem redundant, but it makes our examples future-proof and helps reassure the reader we haven't forgotten about their language.
## Grammar and writing style
### Style
- **Headings should describe problems**, not solutions. For example, a less effective heading might be "The `useQuery` hook" because it describes a solution.
A better heading might be "Making Query data reactive" because it provides the context of the problem the `useQuery` hook solves.
Users won't start paying attention to the explanation of a feature until they have some idea of why/when they'd use it.
- **When you assume knowledge, declare it** at the beginning and link to resources for the knowledge you expect.
- **Introduce only one new concept at a time whenever possible** (including both text and code examples). Some (maybe even many) people will be able to understand multiple concepts at once. Still, many will also become lost - and even those who don't become lost will have depleted more of their cognitive capacity.
- **Avoid special content blocks for tips and caveats when possible.** It's generally preferable to blend these more naturally into the main content (e.g., by building on examples to demonstrate an edge case).
- **Don't include more than two interwoven tips and caveats per page.** If you find that more than two tips are needed on a page, consider adding a caveats section to address these issues. The guide is meant to be read straight through, and tips and caveats can overwhelm or distract someone trying to understand the base concepts.
- **Avoid appeals to authority** (e.g., "You should do X because that's a best practice" or "X is best because it gives you full separation of concerns"). Instead, demonstrate with examples the specific human problems caused and/or solved by a pattern.
- **When deciding what to teach first, think of what knowledge provides the best power/effort ratio.** That means teaching whatever will help users solve the greatest pains or greatest number of problems, with the relatively least effort to learn. This helps learners feel smart, powerful, and curious, so their cognitive capacity will drain more slowly.
- **Show, don't tell.** For example, "You can make the data a Query returns reactive using the `useQuery` hook" (then show import and usage of the `useQuery` hook), instead of "To make the data Query returns reactive, you can pass it into the `useQuery` hook and destructure the `data` field from the returned object."
- **Almost always avoid humor**, especially sarcasm and pop culture references, as it doesn't translate well across cultures.
- **Never assume a more advanced context than you have to.**
- **In most cases, prefer links between sections of the docs over repeating the same content in multiple sections.** Some repetition in content is unavoidable and even essential for learning. However, too much repetition also makes the docs more difficult to maintain because a change in the API will require changes in many places, making it easy to miss something. This is a difficult balance to strike.
- **Specific is better than generic.** For example, a `<BlogPost>` component example is better than `<ComponentA>`.
- **Relatable is better than obscure.** For example, a `<BlogPost>` component example is better than `<CurrencyExchangeSettings>`.
- **Be emotionally relevant.** Explanations and examples that relate to something people have experience with and care about will always be more effective.
- **Always prefer simpler language over complex or jargony language.** For example:
- "You can begin defining an Action by declaring it in Wasp." instead of "In order to define an Action, it must first be declared via a Wasp declaration."
- "function that returns a function" instead of "higher order function" (while technically correct and more concise, higher order function requires knowledge and context the reader doesn't necessarily have)
- **Avoid language that invalidates struggle**, such as "easy", "just", "obviously", etc. For reference, see [Words To Avoid in Educational Writing](https://css-tricks.com/words-avoid-educational-writing/).
### Grammar
- **Don't use emojis (except in discussions).** Emojis are cute and friendly, but they can be a distraction in documentation. Some emojis even convey different meanings in different cultures. They also make the documentation seem unprofessional and of lower quality.
- **Don't use memes and funny pictures.** Everything said about emojis applies to memes as well. It's hard to focus on the text and take it seriously when it contains jokes and memes.
- **Avoid passive voice.** Instead of "The Wasp app can be deployed...", write "You can deploy the Wasp app..."
- **Avoid abbreviations** in writing and code examples (e.g., `attribute` is better than `attr`, `message` is better than `msg`), unless you want to specifically reference an abbreviation in the API (e.g., the `auth` declaration). Abbreviation symbols included on standard keyboards (e.g., `@`, `#`, `&`) are OK.
- **Avoid too many exclamation points.** False excitement can alienate readers and also make the docs seem less professional.
- **Address the reader directly.** Instead of "We can implement a Query..." or "A Query can be implemented..." or "The user can implement a Query...", say "You can implement a Query..."
The docs should speak to the reader and address them directly to avoid possible confusion (e.g., Who are we? The Wasp team? The reader together with the Wasp team? etc.).
Use the word _user_ only to refer to the user of the software that your reader is developing.
You can sometimes use first-person plural pronouns to refer to the organization (Wasp). For example, "We support both TypeScript and JavaScript" is OK, but "Wasp supports both TypeScript and JavaScript" is usually better.
- **Avoid using too many pronouns.** Whenever possible, try to call a thing by its name instead of relying on a previous context. This will sometimes sound strange (it's OK to use pronouns in those cases), but it should work most of the time.
- **When referencing a directly following example, use a colon (`:`) to end a sentence**, rather than a period (`.`).
- **When referencing the name of a project, prioritize the broader conventions of English over internal branding conventions of that project.** For example, "webpack" and "npm" both disregard conventions such as "always start a word at the beginning of a sentence with a capital letter," "project names always use Title Case," and "acronyms are always capitalized." Instead, always write "Webpack and NPM" to provide a more consistent experience in the docs and avoid sentences like "If you don't want to use Vue CLI, you can use webpack or Rollup directly by installing them via npm or Yarn."
- **Do not use Title Case for headings** - There's research suggesting that sentence case (only the first word of the heading starts with a capital) is superior for legibility and also reduces the cognitive overhead for documentation writers since they don't have to try to remember whether to capitalize words like "and", "with", and "about."
Many of our titles are currently in title-case, we should start phasing those out.
- **Use the Oxford comma** (e.g., "a, b, and c" instead of "a, b and c"). ![Why the Oxford comma is important](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vuejs/v2.vuejs.org/master/src/images/oxford-comma.jpg)
## Content and Communication
- **Excellence comes from iteration.** First drafts are always bad, but writing them is a vital part of the process. It's extremely difficult to avoid the slow progression of Bad -> OK -> Good -> Great -> Inspiring -> Transcendent.
- **Only wait until something is "Good" before publishing.** Vue's guide originally says: "The community will help you push it further down the chain." We don't yet have that luxury, as our community isn't large enough. Still, we can't afford to invest _too much_ time into the docs, so "Good" will have to do for now.
## Processes
- **Ideally, you should write the docs before you implement the feature.** This will help you see the feature from the user's perspective and better spot the API's deficiencies and improvement potential. If something is difficult to explain, it's most likely difficult to understand. If it is difficult to understand, there might be a better way of designing it.
- **Try not to get defensive when receiving feedback.** Our writing can be very personal to us, but if we get upset with the people who help us improve it, they will either stop giving feedback or start limiting the kind of feedback they give.
- **Proofread your work before showing it to others (and use Grammarly).** If you show someone work with many spelling/grammar mistakes, you'll get feedback about spelling grammar/mistakes instead of more valuable notes about whether the writing is achieving your goals.
- **When you ask people for feedback, tell reviewers:**
- **What you're trying to do.**
- **What your fears are.**
- **Which balances you're trying to strike.**
- **Do your best to come up with a good and straightforward way to say something.** Again, this will help the reviewer focus on high-level issues instead of rephrasing your sentences.
- **Read and correct your text several times before submitting it (preferably with some time between the readings).** This is similar to proofreading but has more to do with content and communication style than grammar.
A time offset is beneficial because it removes the text from your short-term memory, helping you view it more objectively.
- **It's OK to ask AI to improve your text.** Just make sure to check it and correct it. You should always sign off on the last version.
- **When someone reports a problem, there is almost always a problem**, even if the solution they proposed isn't quite right. Keep asking follow-up questions to learn more.
- People need to feel safe asking questions when contributing/reviewing content. Here's how you can do that:
- **Thank people for their contributions/reviews, even if you're feeling grumpy.** For example:
- "Great question!"
- "Thanks for taking the time to explain. 🙂"
- "This is actually intentional, but thanks for taking the time to contribute. 😊"
- **Listen to what people are saying and mirror if you're not sure you're understanding correctly.** This can help validate people's feelings and experiences while also understanding if _you're_ understanding _them_ correctly.
- **Use a lot of positive and empathetic emojis.** It's always better to seem a little strange than mean or impatient.
This primarily applies to Wasp team members speaking to outside contributors. Since most of the core team knows each other pretty well, there's no need to go overboard with the emojis and pleasantries.
- **Kindly communicate rules/boundaries.** If someone behaves in a way that's abusive/inappropriate, respond only with kindness and maturity, but also make it clear that this behavior is not acceptable and what will happen (according to the code of conduct) if they continue behaving poorly.
- **All docs must go through the review cycle, preferably with more than a single reviewer.** Different people focus on different things. Some of us are great at coming up with examples, others easily come up with analogies and explain complex topics, some have a clear and concise writing style, etc. Therefore, try to get at least two or three people to review your document.
## Possible improvements
- Some parts of our docs don't follow all the guidelines outlined in this document. There's no need to start fixing all the issues right away. We can slowly improve the docs as we edit them.
- We've discussed having a git repo with all the example code in the docs. This should make copying, pasting, testing, and maintaining code snippets easier.
