How to automatically logout after the user closed all the tabs

Question

I am trying to figure out how to validate the login status of users, like when the user closed all the tabs, or after certain time of the user logged in, the app would log out automatically.

I have tried to write {"username":"a","authenticated":true} directly into the storage json file through a sepereate micro-service, but when I called app.storage.user.get('authenticated') in the main service, it always returns True, no matter the real data in the json file. Any have any good idea?

Hi @logandoo,

The storage data is kept in RAM and only written to disk for a potential app restart. Therefore changes to the JSON files are ignored while the app is running.

If you want to make changes to the storage, you can write to app.storage.user directly.

Shouldn't it be done by setting browser cookie lifetime? When it's expired, the user will be logged off.
