Nhost February 2022
9 March 2022
Hey all product builders!
After releasing Nhost v2 in January we've spent February improving Nhost. And we have a lot of updates. So let's get started!
Function Logs
Finally!
You can now see logs for your serverless functions in production. They are available, in real-time, in the Nhost console.
This makes debugging easier and increases overall visibility for your function logs.
Not only can you see logs. You can also see metadata about all your Nhost functions and send test requests from the console (see the top-right button in the image below).

Custom Permission Variables
Up until now, you could only use x-hasura-user-id as a permission variable for your GraphQL API in Hasura.
Not anymore.
You can now set custom permission variables (custom JWT claims) for all your users.
We want to thank our community who contributed with valuable insights during the development of this feature (GitHub Issue link). Thanks!
Want to learn more? Check out our docs for permission variables.

User Metadata
Want to add custom metadata for a user during signup? It's now possible!
Custom metadata can be added to any user who signs up. The metadata can be any JSON object and is saved under auth.users.metadata column as a JSONB in PostgreSQL.
Tips: It's perfect to combine the user's metadata during sign-up with an event trigger.
Also, look how easy it is to use with our JavaScript client. 👇

Custom email templates
Up until this point, it was only possible to use our standard email templates for Nhost Auth.
To be fair, they are not very good-looking (we have to fix that..).
But you no longer have to rely on us for your email templates. You can set your own!
These are the available templates you can modify:
- Verify email
- Confirm email change
- Reset password
- Passwordless Sign-in (Magic Link)
Learn more about custom email templates and how to configure them in our GitHub repository.

Read our documentation on how to create a Spotify OAuth application and enable Spotify with Nhost Auth in our docs.
