Auth0 user info method returns user object with only sub property

Question

I am building authentication for my angular app and I am trying to get userinfo from the auth0 when someone login. I am using the auth0 docs as guidance and i get the 'user' object but it has only sub property no name, email etc.

Object {sub: "auth0|5**********7"}

I tried with facebook, linkedin, google logins and signed up without social media but result was the same just 'auth0 |' part changes. This is my auth.service.ts :

auth0 = new auth0.WebAuth({
  clientID: 'myClientID',
  domain: 'myDomain.auth0.com',
  responseType: 'token id_token',
  audience: 'https://myDomain.auth0.com/userinfo',
  redirectUri: 'http://localhost:4200/',
  scope: 'openid'
})

handleAuthentication(): void {
  this.auth0.parseHash((err, authResult) => {
    if (authResult && authResult.accessToken && authResult.idToken) {
      window.location.hash = '';
      this.setSession(authResult);
      this.router.navigate(['/dersler']);

      // This is for getting user info after authentication (taken from the auth0 docs but revised)
      this.auth0.client.userInfo(authResult.accessToken, function(err, user) {
      // This method will make a request to the /userinfo endpoint 
      // and return the user object, which contains the user's information, 
        if (err) {
          return console.log(err);
        }
        console.log(user);
        return;
      });
      // method to get user info ends here

    } else if (err) {
      this.router.navigate(['/']);
      console.log(err);
    }
  });
}

I tried getting userinfo with http method in the auth0 docs but it returns same user object only with 'sub' property. Why it doesn't return other user info?

EDIT (SOLVED): I changed the 'scope' property of auth0 from 'openid' to 'openid profile' and now it returns user object with name and all other info successfully.

The problem is in your scope parameter, you can change it to scope: 'openid profile email phone'. Then log out, log in and you're done.
