The user is undefined after a page refresh.

[michalczaplinski]

A page refresh logs a user out. This behaviour can be seen in the example linked in the README.

To reproduce:

Go to https://netlify-gotrue-in-react.netlify.com/

I can log in by providing by the url to my identity service: https://dropclub.netlify.com

• user: mmczaplinski@gmail.com
• password: 1234

After logging in I'm redirected to /dashboard. Then, when I refresh the page I am redirected back to the login page and I can see that user is undefined in the console.

I was under the impression that gotrue-js should be storing the user information in localStorage for me. Is this functionality outside of the scope of this package or would you expect it to work?

indeed i expect gotrue-js would store it in localstorage. i am wondering if theres some CORS issue here.

EDIT: it seems to be a known issue - netlify/gotrue-js#35

we may just need to setCookie:true

fixed in https://github.com/sw-yx/react-netlify-identity/releases/tag/0.0.7 i think - please lmk if it doesnt

Hey @sw-yx this is fixed on production but doesn't appear to be fixed when testing @ localhost. Would be nice to have this for testing.

[swyxio]

hey @michalczaplinski and @b-reklass turns out it might be my fault - see this PR #2

[michalczaplinski]

@sw-yx Sorry, I went with another solution for auth in the meantime, but I ll definitely use this on another project and let you know how it works. Thanks for the great work ! :)

[swyxio]

no problem. i made this when i was just learning, but i use this project more intensively now so ive ironed out a few more flaws sicne then.
