lfades
09/14/2018, 5:39 AMfor some cases using a database may also be a good solution

09/14/2018, 1:49 PM@lfades I'm using the redux state to check if a user is authenticated or not... (The back works with express-session) so, what I do, I always execute one query, and through redux that state help me to check that user... But when I reload the page, that state disappear... :( I don't know how to resolve it

09/14/2018, 3:12 PMI haven't directly implemented it, I use firebase auth myself
HarryC
09/14/2018, 3:13 PMThis way every time an SSR happens, the _app can do something like
firebase.auth().onAuthStateChanged((user)5 Views
