Question: Is there any way to know if a user is still logged in?

[jvolker]

How long is a token valid? Is there any way to know if a user is still logged (since it is stored internally) in or if the token expired?

I would like to play around with the web clipper and am wondering how often I would have to login again and how to check if it's still valid.

Thanks.

Two weeks. Loopback, the framework the API is built with, doesn't use JWTs, it has its own access token scheme, and there's no refresh built in.

EDIT: And to answer your other question, the only way to tell if a user is logged in is to hit an authenticated endpoint and see what the response is. (e.g. /v0/users/current, passing the access token, and if you get a 200 you're logged in, if you get a 401 you're not)

Thanks! Would be nice to have a method for that implemented directly into the jsclient.

This works for me:

const OF = new (require("openframe-jsclient"))();
const auth = require("openframe-jsclient/src/auth");

const token = auth.getToken();

fetch(
  "https://api.openframe.io/v0/users/current?access_token=" + token
).then(response => {
  if (response.status == 200) loggedIn = true;
  else if (response.status == 404 || response.status == 401) loggedIn = false;
}
