httpOnly (invisible to JS) and secure (https only) are now used. In order to update existing users without requiring them to re-authenticate, each request sets those properties on the cookie. Finally, the maxAge is now 30 days and is also updated on each request. i.e. it's a rolling 30 days. Co-authored-by: Oliver Eyton-Williams <ojeytonwilliams@gmail.com>
Working on the new api
Connecting to local database
The api uses the ORM Prisma and it needs the MongoDB instance to be a replica set.
Atlas
If you use MongoDB Atlas, the set is managed for you.
Local
The simplest way to run a replica set locally is to use the docker-compose file in /tools.
cd tools
docker compose up -d
The new db will be empty, so you can run the seed script to populate it.
cd ../.. # back to the root of the repo
pnpm seed
Troubleshooting
If you have any issues connecting to the database (e.g. MongoServerError: not primary), try removing the volume and recreating the containers.
cd tools
docker compose down -v
docker compose up -d
Login in development/testing
During development and testing, the api exposes the endpoint GET auth/dev-callback. Calling this will log you in as the user with the email foo@bar.com by setting the session cookie for that user.
