I’m trying to see if a user is logged in when loading a page. I currently use the following query with the

idToken

from Auth0. Though I notice there’s a mismatch between the token and what’s in the database, e.g.

idToken=a98d7f98af798d7f98afd798af897…

and

auth0IdToken=facebook|0982394802398409

query ($auth0Id: String!) {
  user: User(auth0UserId: $auth0Id) {
    id
    name
  }
}

@mruzekw Yep, that's expected. If you paste the

idToken

here, you can see what information it contains: jwt.io

Sorry I meant

auth0UserId

Yep 🙂

So can I use the

idToken

when loading the page? It works initially when loggin in or creating a user

Yea, so you can use that token for creating a new user and also for signing in as that user. Each time you login with Auth0 Lock, you get a new token that we can map to the user in your

User

model

Ohh okay, but when I refresh the page the user has to login again?

That depends on how you handle it. Is this about the web or mobile?

Web

https://www.graph.cool/docs/faq/graphcool-session-user-goij0cooqu The way to authenticate a user to the Graphcool API is setting the

Authorization

header with the token

Yes, I’ve been referencing that here and there. Though I’m trying to translate into just pure HTTP queries since I’m using ClojureScript without Apollo

I see. Make sure to refer to some "central storage" in the Apollo middleware that sets the

Authorization

header. If you want that to live through page reloads, your central storage has to manage that.

Ah okay, makes more sense now. I’ll give this a go. Thanks!

no 🙂 only the "central storage" implementation, the logic is applicable there as well

Okay, cool
