Handle User Status Trouble

[connallykendrick]

I've set this up using the logic provided in the documentation -

_"Example code that handles all subscription states
Below is example code that handles all the states a user's subscription can enter.

const extpay = ExtPay('my-extension-id');

extpay.getUser().then(user => {

if (user.paid) {
    console.log("You're paid!")
} else if (user.subscriptionStatus === 'past_due') {
    console.log("You need to update your card!");
    extpay.openPaymentPage();
} else if (user.subscriptionCancelAt && user.subscriptionCancelAt < new Date()) {
    console.log("Your subscription will cancel soon.")
} else if (user.subscriptionStatus === 'canceled') {
    console.log("We hope you enjoyed your subscription!")
} else {
    console.log("You haven't paid yet :( ")
}

})"_

I've had to modify by swapping the order of else if (user.subscriptionStatus === 'canceled') BEFORE else if (user.subscriptionCancelAt && user.subscriptionCancelAt < new Date()) in order to get it to work correctly when I change the status to Canceled.

The problem now comes to the cancellation period - After a user cancels, but their features have not yet run out - triggering for that event.

Is this because of what the documentation says - "user.subscriptionStatus remains active (and user.paid is true) through the end of the billing cycle." ?

If that's the case.. it makes sense why this wouldn't be working -
"_ if (user.paid) {
}_"
is right there at the top, so if that's returning True, everything else is irrelevant thereafter.

@Glench - Does this seem to make sense as to why I can't get a cancellation period to trigger an event? Based off of the documentation?

It's late, so I don't have my set up to test this out, but I wanted to bring it to the attention of yourself and others the issue I'm having with it - however, if I'm doing something totally wrong here, please let me know. It's the only part of provided logic I'm having trouble with.
