Hello, I'm kinda new here and I'm curious.. is there any easy and BETTER way how to check if session was deleted?
I'll give an example what I want to do:
I connected 2 browsers into 1 account
I deleted session one of them
I want to check deleted session and (instant?) log out user
I did checking if session exist every minute (authContext) - it's working and logout user without session, but I'm not sure if it's the best way to make it, every 60s pinging API for response.
useEffect(() => {
const cookieFallback = localStorage.getItem('cookieFallback')
if (
cookieFallback === '[]' ||
cookieFallback === null ||
cookieFallback === undefined
) {
navigate('/sign-in')
}
checkAuthUser()
if (isAuthenticated) {
const interval = setInterval(() => {
getCurrentSession().then(() => {
setUser(INITIAL_USER)
setIsAuthenticated(false)
navigate('/sign-in')
console.log('error')
})
}, 60000)
return () => clearInterval(interval)
}
}, [isAuthenticated])
Summary
The user wants to instantly logout a user after deleting a session, without requiring any user interaction. They are currently pinging the API every 60 seconds to check if the session exists, but they are looking for a better solution. One suggestion is to use interceptors to redirect the user to the login page if the session is not available on the next request. Another suggestion is to open a Realtime socket to a random empty Collection and check the token when the socket gets cut off. If the session is deleted, the token will fail and the user can be logged out. There is no clear solution provided in the support thread.
