Persistant user session about gotrue-dart HOT 11 CLOSED

When a user is signed in and leave->reload the application, they should not be prompted to login.

Hi @atnegrete can you share your code? Maybe i can help.

You can also take a look at this example. I use a splashScreen to manage authentication on app startup. instead of sending user to signin screen, you can send them to a landing page for example.

Storing token in the device, and silent refresh token as needed.

gotrue-dart doesn't provide storage. But you can use any Flutter storage libraries to do that.
In this example, i use shared_preferences

from gotrue-dart.

Ah, sorry I misunderstood your earlier response, I didn't realize you meant that originally & currently we want to keep it as dart package only.

I'll do some research, but most of my experience with dart is only for flutter - as I imagine 99% of everyone out there will be? I'll look & see if I can find a dart only solution

This looks promising to me, what's your thoughts? https://pub.dev/packages/stash_sembast/versions/2.0.0-nullsafety.2

from gotrue-dart.

Wow, it looks promising. Nice find! @atnegrete

Yeah, what you have in the example is exactly what I'm asking for. Given that the web version of supabase handles the persist logic internally (I think from looking at the source code), basically what I'm asking is if we can go ahead and essentially add your _restoreSession logic into the source code, without the redirecting logic. I'd argue that would be better placed in a supbase-dart-ui components repository with auth components?

We should default to persistence being on by default, in the spirit of being the Firebase Open Source alternative? Similar to https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/auth-state-persistence

Possible method to override:
SupabaseClient(url, key)..auth.setPersistance(Persistance.Local)

Side note, Thanks a ton for your contribution, loving using these libraries!

Originally, we want to keep this library as a dart package. So there's no storage feature included.

Welcome for PR if you have a solution. That will be great.

I totally get that! I'm thinking that since https://pub.dev/packages/shared_preferences is supported pretty well across platforms, it should be ok?

shared_preferences is a flutter package

I'm storing string using FlutterSecureStorage. Although after a while recoverSession returns Invalid Refresh Token, I can't find what is causing that. Does this method work after expiration? Thanks.

from gotrue-dart.

Hi @difelice, can you check if recoverSession is called with the same refreshToken more than once? cos that will trigger Invalid Refresh Token error.

If it's not the case, please open a new issue. Thank you.

from gotrue-dart.

@difelice we released a new supabase-flutter package to help with 3rd party auth and user session persistence. Now you can use it with FlutterSecureStorage. More details here
