Login State
Share Login State between the Sub Domains for Meteor Apps (Support for static apps too)
Getting Started
Using kadira:login-state
you can share the login information between apps hosted in different sub-domains. All apps are not necessory to be meteor apps. One app must be a meteor app and its login state can be share easialy across multiple sub-domains using this package.
On Meteor App
Inatall
meteor add kadira:login-state
Configuration
Update settings.json
as follows. You need to provide appropriate values for domain
and cookineName
fields.
Note: You must have update the
domain
field insettings.json
, with the domain name which you need to share login state. Eg: When your domain name and landing page ismysite.com
andapp.mysite.com
is your app subdomain and, alsosupports.mysite.com
is the support forum, then you need to updatedomain
field as.mysite.com
.
{
"public": {
"loginState": {
"domain": ".your-domain-name.com",
"cookieName": "app-login-state-cookie-name"
}
}
}
On static app
Using custom JavaScript code
Create a JavaScript file as js/login_state.js
or given a name as you want. After that update following code there.
If this is an another meteor app, you don't have to create this manually. You just need to install the
kadira:login-state
package, and call theLoginState.get(<cookieName>)
function with the correct cookie name.
LoginState = {};
LoginState.get = function(cookieName) {
var loginState = getCookie(cookieName);
if(loginState) {
return JSON.parse(decodeURIComponent(loginState));
} else {
return false;
}
};
function getCookie(cname) {
var name = cname + "=";
var ca = document.cookie.split(';');
for(var i=0; i<ca.length; i++) {
var c = ca[i];
while (c.charAt(0)==' ') c = c.substring(1);
if (c.indexOf(name) != -1) return c.substring(name.length,c.length);
}
return "";
}
Include it into your html document. Then you can call LoginState.get(cookieName)
function to get login state by providing the correct cookie name.
Here's the sample code for that;
var loginState = LoginState.get("app-login-state-cookie-name");
if(loginState) {
// the user has loggedIn to the meteor app
// see the loginState Object for the addtional data
// (append your code here!)
console.log(loginState);
} else {
// user has not loggedIn yet.
// (append your code here!)
}
Content of the loginState will be something like this. It won't have any sensitive information like passwords or loginTokens.
