📄 Description

Summary

Two existing callbacks in emailVerification and emailAndPassword were undocumented:

  • beforeEmailVerification — triggered just before a user's email is marked as verified. Useful for validation or data preparation.
  • onExistingUserSignUp — triggered when someone tries to sign up with an email that already exists. Useful for notifying the existing user. Only called when requireEmailVerification: true or autoSignIn: false.

Both callbacks existed in the code and types (init-options.ts) but were missing from the conceptual documentation.

Added documentation

  • email.mdx: new "Callback before email verification" section with example, new "Callback on duplicate sign-up attempt" section with example and Callout on activation conditions

Changed files (2 files, +44)

  • docs/content/docs/concepts/email.mdx — 2 new sections
  • .gitignore — add docs/.source/ and landing/.source/ (generated files after landing → docs merge)

Summary by cubic

Document beforeEmailVerification (runs before an email is marked verified) and onExistingUserSignUp (fires on duplicate sign-ups when emailAndPassword.requireEmailVerification: true) in the email docs, with examples and a callout. Update .gitignore to ignore generated docs/.source/ and landing/.source/.

Written for commit 4fdd7567df. Summary will update on new commits.
