Now, I'm doing a task manager project like Trello
so it is natural that the user should be kept until he manually logs out from the app. How can I keep the user authenticated until log out?
- if I use
ApiKey
it gets other users' data - if I use
JWT
has a fixed 15-minute limit (and there is no feature likerefresh token
)
Is there any best practice?

@Мухаммадамин You are using server SDK with JWT for fetching user specific data from database. now while you are using JWT, i believe you are also using client SDK to createJWT?
according to this docs: https://appwrite.io/docs/products/auth/jwt
You need user to be logged in using client SDK to create JWT token, and you can always create new JWT token if the request fails and try again. because user will be logged in until logs out manually or whatever session length you have set from Appwrite console auth.
So basically, you can approch it like this: you can read the error response of failed request and in case of expiry of existing JWT token, create new JWT and send new request with that JWT.

It's really great idea, thank you again! I'll try this way.

I'll leave this post unsolved for a few days, maybe others have ideas to share
