email_already_in_use

HTTP status: 409 · Code: email_already_in_use

Another user of the project has this email.

Why it happens

Another user in the project already has this email, so it can’t be given to this user too.

How to fix

Ask for a different email. If it’s the person’s own other account, they can sign in to that one instead.

Catch it in your code

Every SDK throws one error type for a failed call. Match on its code, which is always email_already_in_use for this error, never on the message.

JavaScript and Next.js

import { ErrorCode, OrvanoError } from '@orvano/js'

try {
  // your Orvano call
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof OrvanoError && error.code === ErrorCode.emailAlreadyInUse) {
    // handle email_already_in_use
  } else {
    throw error
  }
}

Dart and Flutter

import 'package:orvano_flutter/orvano_flutter.dart'; // or orvano_dart on a server

try {
  // your Orvano call
} on OrvanoException catch (error) {
  if (error.code != ErrorCode.emailAlreadyInUse) rethrow;
  // handle email_already_in_use
}

.NET

using Orvano;

try
{
    // your Orvano call
}
catch (OrvanoException error) when (error.Code == ErrorCode.EmailAlreadyInUse)
{
    // handle email_already_in_use
}

The error also carries the HTTP status (409), a message, and a request ID. Quote the request ID when you report a problem: the server logs it with the failure. See Errors for how errors work in every SDK, or every error code.
