- originalImplementationis an object that contains functions that has the original implementation for this recipe. It can be used in your functions as a way to use the SuperTokens' default behaviour.
- In the above code snippet, we override the doesSessionExistfunction of this recipe. This means that when another recipe is using this recipe to check if a session exists, it will use your function.
