I am building a Nuxt app that uses fastify for the backend API. I am using httpOnly session-cookies for authentication. So far everything works fine but the issue i have is that Nuxt just has a hardcoded cookie timeout of 30 minutes. I have updated this to 24hrs but what i really want to do is have Nuxt refresh the timeout after each request.
I see in my database that the fastify session cookie get updated after each request and the session expiration gets updated after ANY user API request. So, this looks like the backend is functioning correctly but the frontend need to update the auth._token_expiration.local value.
You can see in the config that i manually set the maxAge to 24hrs, cant i have the frontend update the auth._token_expiration.local value automatically when making successful API requests? my token is stored as sessionId
nuxt.config.js
auth: {
redirect: false,
strategies: {
local: {
token: {
required: false,
type: false,
maxAge: 86400 // seconds - 1 day
},
user: { property: false },
endpoints: {
login: {
url: '/user/login',
method: 'post',
withCredentials: true
},
logout: {
url: '/user/logout',
method: 'post',
withCredentials: true
},
user: {
url: '/user/profile',
method: 'get',
withCredentials: true
}
}
},
localStorage: false,
cookie: true
}
},
So i discovered that the sessionId Expires data DOES get updated after each api request, so that is good. To make this function i also had to set the nuxt.config token maxAge to 0. This solved my issues.
