This pull request addresses the issue where the Steam ID is not being persistently stored in the database, requiring users to relink their Steam accounts upon every logout.
Changes Made
Backend Updates
Steam Callback Route
Enhanced the loader function in app/routes/auth/steam/callback.tsx to:
Verify the Steam assertion.
Retrieve and store the steamId in the session.
Link the Steam ID to the user's account in the database.
Send appropriate success or error messages to the parent window.
Added a helper function sendErrorToParent to handle error messaging back to the parent window.
Frontend Updates
AuthorizeForm Component
Updated app/components/molecules/AuthorizeForm.tsx to:
Handle steam-auth-error messages.
Log error messages and reset the popup state accordingly.
Issue Addressed
Users needed to relink their Steam accounts each time they logged out, as the Steam ID was not being persistently stored in the database.
Ensured that once a user links their Steam account, this link is maintained across sessions independently of the cookie's existence.
Expected Outcome
With these changes, once a user links their Steam account, this link should be maintained across sessions independently of the cookie's existence. This will enhance the user experience by eliminating the need to frequently relink the Steam account and ensure data consistency across our systems.
Additional Notes
This change aligns the Steam linking functionality with our existing user data management practices and provides a smoother and more reliable user experience.
