Why new accounts created by api doesn't work with nodebb-plugin-session-sharing

[Fred]

Hello,
I created some accounts with the api/v3, but those accounts can't log in by email on the forum, and consequently can't log in with session sharing plugin.

I searched a long time, because this used to work on nodebb v1.15.
But on v1.18, some db objects are only set after the call of confirmByUid function :

['email:uid', uid, currentEmail.toLowerCase()],
['email:sorted', 0, `${currentEmail.toLowerCase()}:${uid}`],
[`user:${uid}:emails`, Date.now(), `${currentEmail}:${Date.now()}`]

So you have to confirm each account before the plugin "session sharing" works with them.

To resolve this, i made a custom plugin and used the "confirmByUid" function :

library.js :

const Users = require.main.require('./src/user')
var Plugin = {
	onCreateUser: function (postData) {
		const { user } = postData;
		Users.email.confirmByUid(user.uid);
		Topics.markAllRead(user.uid);
	}
}

plugin.json :

"library": "./library.js",
"hooks": [
	{ "hook": "action:user.create", "method": "onCreateUser" },
]

I hope this can help ;).
