Handling App Refresh

Maybe another answer is to look at startup modules rather than startup forms

You can define a startup module with the following code:

import anvil.users
from anvil import open_form

        open_form("Dashboard")
    else:
        open_form("Login")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    startup()

Hook into Anvil's built-in user sign up service to run custom code

hi @benwhut and welcome to the forum, Sure this is a way I’ve done it before https://anvil.works/build#clone:ZYJHU5HR5L5AJVWO=SYNTTGHICROC3CD5JPPOLM2C On my user table I add a boolean column details I have a startup module that checks the user on the server and raises an exception depending on whether there is A) a valid user B) a valid user who has yet to complete the necessary information Client side def startup(): try: user = anvil.server.call('check_user') open_form('Main')…

Returning to a startup module

As @stefano.menci mentions… I don’t think it’s possible to use open_form on a module. Here’s an option though… StartupModule import anvil.users from anvil import open_form def startup(): if not anvil.users.get_user(): open_form('LoginForm') else: open_form("MainForm") if __name__ == "__main__": startup() Then when you want to use it again just import the function… This way you keep the startup logic in a Module and can reuse the code later. def signout_button_click(self…
