Email change confirmation api endpoint missing

[Rezi]

After updating an email of a user, email with token is send

const user = auth.currentUser(); user .update({ email: authUser.email }) .then(response => { userEmailChangeRequested = true; }) .catch(error => { console.log("Failed to send email change request", error); throw error; });

however there is not API endpoint to send the token to finish the email change
I tried both auth.confirm(token, true) which is meant for registration and .recover(token, true) for forgotten password. None worked, so I checked gotrue backend and found there is no other token type than these two.

Still no word on this? How do we confirm an email change?

To update the user email you have to call .update() and include the email_change_token: key in the object with the value being the token string from the confirmation URL.

.update({ email_change_token: token.token }) 

👍🏻

It's unfortunately not documented in any readme's but the code is there and I can confirm from my own sites that it works fine https://github.com/netlify/gotrue/blob/master/api/user.go
