Righ way to customize user controller?

Questions and Answers

Hello,

I’m looking for the best solution to customize the user controller. I want to send a custom welcome email to all my new user.

What’s the best practice?

Using **api/user/controller/User.**js or extensions/users-permissions/controller/User.js

If a refer to this post : Register account email validation link is in user-permissions but if I see this page : Backend customization - Strapi Developer Documentation is in api/user…

Is this code still working :

//path : ./api/user/controllers/User.js.
module.exports = {
  // GET /hello
  signup: async ctx => {
    // Store the new user in database.
    const user = await User.create(ctx.query);

    // Send an email to validate his subscriptions.
    strapi.services.email.send('welcome@mysite.com', user.email, 'Welcome', '...');

    // Send response to the server.
    ctx.send({
      ok: true,
    });
  },
};

I try it, it didn’t work.

So I try this :

//path : ./user-permissions/controller/User.js
/**
   * Promise to add a/an user.
   * @return {Promise}
   */
  async add(values) {
    if (values.password) {
      values.password = await strapi.plugins[
        "users-permissions"
      ].services.user.hashPassword(values);
    }

    // Send a test email
    await strapi.plugins["email"].services.email.send({
      to: "***@gmail.com",
      from: "demo@strapi.io",
      //cc: 'helenedarroze@strapi.io',
      //bcc: 'ghislainearabian@strapi.io',
      replyTo: "demo@strapi.io",
      subject: "It's just a test",
      text: "Hello world!",
      html: "Hello world!",
    });


    return strapi.query("user", "users-permissions").create(values);
  },

Again, it’s not working.
