Describe the problem you'd like to have solved
This repo still stores the JWT in the browser. A few modifications can be made to make it follow the BFF patern for more secure token use.
Describe the ideal solution
The secret store could set the token when the user logs in:
store.Options(sessions.Options{
Path: "/",
HttpOnly: true,
Secure: true,
})
The logout will also need to clear the session as well:
// get session details (cookie)
authSession := sessions.Default(ctx)
// clear details (logout)
authSession.Clear()
authSession.Options(sessions.Options{
MaxAge: -1, // This instructs the browser to delete the cookie
Path: "/",
HttpOnly: true,
Secure: true,
})
