Create Users

​
How do I import users?

You will have to either programmatically achieve this through the createUser mutation or by importing the users in from Stripe.

For the latter, we sync all Stripe customers to Kana users. When customers subscribe through Stripe to your Kana packages, we will also create new users in Kana if they don’t exist.

​
Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites - creating users is one of the first steps to take 🚀

​
Code Sample

​
Basic

Node.js
import { KanaAdmin } from '@usekana/admin-kana-js'; \

const client = new KanaAdmin({
    apiKey: API_KEY // Replace with own Private API Key
});

const { data, error } = await client.users.create({id: '124', billingId: 'cus_883y74hdjjdjdnd', name: 'Test User', email: 'test@usekana.com'});
console.log(data);
console.log(error);

​
Example

Node.js
import { KanaAdmin } from '@usekana/admin-kana-js';

const User = require('../app/models/user'); // Using Mongoose
const { randomUUID } = require('crypto') // Generate userId

const client = new KanaAdmin({
    apiKey: API_KEY // Replace with own Private API Key
});

app.post('/signup', function(req, res, next) {
  User.findOne({email: req.email}, function(err, user) {
    if (err) {
      res.send(err.message);
    } else if (user) {
        res.status(400).send('A user with that email already exists');
    } else {
        let newUser = new User();

        newUser.id = randomUUID();
        newUser.email = req.body.email;
        newUser.name = req.body.name;

        newUser.save(async function(err, user) {
          const { data, error } = await client.users.create({
            id: user.id
            name: user.name
            email: user.email
          });

          if (error) {
            console.log(error)
          };

          if (data) {
            console.log(data)
          };
        });
    };
  };
});
