initialScreen=signUp and rememberLastLogin

[alexstrat]

Make initialScreen=signUp and rememberLastLogin=true compatible.

Description

I'd like to show the signUp as the initial screen because that's the most common usage of my login page. However, if the user was previously logged, I'd like to present them the quick-login screen (rememberLastLogin=true).

Is there a reason why initialScreen=signUp and rememberLastLogin=true are not compatible to day?

Because the quick-login screen only kicks in when you're actually trying to open the login screen. It can't be activated from the signup screen. One alternative is to save a localStorage item when your user authenticates and then you can use initialScreen: hasAuthenticatedBefore ? 'login' : 'signUp'.

Thanks for your quick answer!

Because the quick-login screen only kicks in when you're actually trying to open the login screen.

Ok, but is that something we can improve directly in auth0-lock or there is a conceptual reason why it's not acceptable.

For instance by adding an option initialScreen='signUpIfNotQuickLogin'?

The conceptual reason is that you specifically asked for the signup screen, so there's no point in showing the quick login screen 😬

I think your best bet is to handle your specific use case directly into your app with the localStorage idea.
