VueJS check periodically global function












-1















I have a VueJS project where I need to check periodically a function to see if a token has expired once the user login to the app successfully and if the token has expired have to show a modal message to user.



I have my Singin.vue file that contains the following code:



....
methods: {
...mapActions(['authorize']),
submit() {
this.$validator.validateAll().then(result => {
if (result) {
this.error = null;
this.processing = true;
this.authorize(this.credentials).then(() => {

// ***********
// HERE I have to check periodically if the token has expired
// ***********

this.$router.push({name: 'home'});
}).catch(error => {
console.warn('error message', error);
this.error = error.response.data.message;
this.processing = false;
});
}
});
}


When this.authorize happens I route to home, but before that happens I need to start calling a function periodically. Then If user Logoff then I have to clear the interval.



So first, I dont know where is the best place to have this TokenExpiration function code. Does it make sense to have it in a store file?



This is my api.js store file where I have my authorize function and my logout function, does it make sense to have the tokenExpirationCheck function here also?



enter image description here



Appreciate any guidance on best practice.

          The pugin would have a vuex.watch on the stoere's logged-in flag. When it goes from false => true, remove the timer (if active) and if it goes from false => true, add the timer. The timer function can then call the vuex dispatch to handle the functionality.

          • Probably not, because this is custom functionality. But a vue plugin is not necessarily meant to be a collection of easily distributed functionality. It is also a way to add global functionality.
