refreshToken #

Available since 6.1.0

Refreshes a valid, non-expired authentication token.

If this action is successful, then the jwt property of this class instance is set to the new authentication token.

All further requests emitted by this SDK instance will be on behalf of the authenticated user, until either the authenticated token expires, the logout action is called, or the jwt property is manually set to another value.

Arguments #

refreshToken ([options])

Arguments	Type	Description
`options`	object	Query options

options #

Additional query options

Property	Type (default)	Description
`expiresIn`	string	Expiration time in ms library format. (e.g. `2h`)
`queuable`	boolean (`true`)	If true, queues the request during downtime, until connected to Kuzzle again

expiresIn #

The default value for the expiresIn option is defined at server level, in Kuzzle's configuration file.

Resolves #

The refreshToken action resolves to a token object with the following properties:

Property	Type	Description
`_id`	string	User unique identifier (kuid)
`expiresAt`	number	Expiration timestamp in Epoch-millis format (UTC)
`jwt`	string	Authentication token
`ttl`	number	Time to live of the authentication token, in milliseconds

Usage #

const credentials = { username: 'foo', password: 'bar' };
try {
  const jwt = await kuzzle.auth.login('local', credentials);
  // Prints the encrypted authentication token
  console.log(jwt);
  // Note: to get a different token, you actually need to wait at least
  // 1 second. Otherwise you do receive a refreshed token, but with the exact
  // same caracteristics, as the key depends on the timestamp in Epoch format
  await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
  // Prints:
  // { _id: '<user kuid>',
  //   jwt: '<a different encrypted authentication token>'
  //   expiresAt: 1553185334220,
  //   ttl: 3600000 }
  console.log(await kuzzle.auth.refreshToken());
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error.message);
}
