Some questions around using WeWeb Supabase auth plugin

Ask us anything How do I?

Hi all,

I am using the Supabase auth plugin with Google social login (Google oAuth) which is all working very well, but I have some questions around that.

  1. If a user logs in, how long do they stay logged in? Can I configure this on WeWeb side in the plugin or is this on Supabase side?
  2. Per Supabase auth documentation, a login creates a session. Refreshing the session gives a new refresh token and access token pair. I’m using these access tokens to authorize REST API requests coming from my front-end. However, with some testing I noticed that the access token expires after 1 hour and a user will run into the error that the JWT token has expired. I suppose the simple approach would be to use the “Refresh session” in the workflow before sending the REST API request, but I wonder whether this is the best approach (I have about ~50 distinct workflows with rest API Requests). Is it best practice to build something like a “global session refresher” that automatically refreshes the token? Would that be even possible in WeWeb?

Not sure if this is allowed, but bumping this for visibility
