sendResetPasswordToken

Example

import Medusa from "@medusajs/medusa-js"
const medusa = new Medusa({ baseUrl: MEDUSA_BACKEND_URL, maxRetries: 3 })
// must be previously logged in or use api token
medusa.admin.users
  .sendResetPasswordToken({
    email: "user@example.com",
  })
  .then(() => {
    // successful
  })
  .catch(() => {
    // error occurred
  })

Parameters

The user's reset details.
