JHipster社交登录-将电子邮件设为必填字段

Question

I just setup the basic JHipster application and set in the FB client ID and secret. However, when I try to login by not sharing the email - I see that it gets redirected to my app with a success. I can handle the no email exception on application.

Instead , I wanted FB to make sure that my email was a mandatory field. How do I do that?

Answer 1

You can't force Facebook to return an email address for a user. It may also be null on their end (if the user signed up with a phone number). You will have to handle it in your application. This is the same case with Twitter - they simply don't provide the user's email.

Note, even if you request the email permission it is not guaranteed you will get an email address. For example, if someone signed up for Facebook with a phone number instead of an email address, the email field may be empty.

Like you mentioned, you need to handle it in your application. You could catch the fact the email is null and prompt the user to enter an email.
