How do we store local Settings

[cbleek]

When running the app in electron, and clicking on the facebook button, the authentification does not work.

This is probably because we set the app id only in https://github.com/cross-solution/cross-solution.de/blob/master/src/boot/hello.js. An app secret is set nowhere. Maybe the auth is working in the web app (ssr:pwa mode) because facebook can determine a Hostname, which is sending requests.

However. We have to answer the question, how to store user settings in an electron app.

@calmcalmdown do you have an idea?

@cbleek let me check first asap

Hi @cbleek I have logged in successfully. Please check the following screenshots

[sr7dev]

first, setting with facebook developer account http://prntscr.com/r76vc0

[sr7dev]

next, add APP_ID_FACEBOOK http://prntscr.com/r76vtb

tested on my local, and worked for me. http://prntscr.com/r76xiw

But does it runs as an electron app?

[sr7dev]

@cbleek i found why it is not working. maybe we don't need the app secret. As you can see the client id(app id) is undefined

[cbleek]

But the headline of your screen shows "Google Chrome". Is the app running as an electron as described in:

https://cross-solution.de/download

[cbleek]

but you're right. The client_id seem's to be missing. I'f I clich on LinkedIn button running in electron mode I get the LinkedIn Response

The passed in client_id is invalid "undefined"

So the values defined in .env might be not inserted, when building the electron app.

@cbleek yeah, I think so

[cbleek]

However. The focus of this issue should be to think about how to store user settings. These .env values are some kind of user settings, I guess.

@cbleek i have made .env.production file and tested app. there is another error, maybe it is from facebook app settings.

[sr7dev]

could you give me facebook app settings?

[sr7dev]

@cbleek please take a look at process.env.APP_URL in electron-main.js I have tested on my local like the following steps.

• change process.env.APP_URL as http://localhost:8080(if you change as live url(cross-solution.de), also work for me)
• build-win32
• run on localhost(yarn dev)
• run electron app if then, electron app would be run as the localhost:8080(I am not sure, which is running without process.env.APP_URL value. currently there is not APP_URL in .env file. I think, maybe it is running embedded source within the executable file ) I can't see above issues. how do you think?

[sr7dev]

@cbleek any update?

[cbleek]

I've added the the env in a page and it shows the localhost:8080 is used by default. If the Port is already in use, quasar seems to search the next available port. If you start the app twice, the second one uses 8081.

I'm willing to bet that OAuth will work if that secret is sent along.

Whatever. Let's close this issue and open a new one for the OAuth problem.
