Meteor Accounts Resume Token "Remember Me"

Question

I'm building a Meteor + Cordova app where I want sign-in to "stick forever" on the mobile device.

I see the following tutorial whereby I can setup my own custom "resume handler"

• https://meteorhacks.com/extending-meteor-accounts.html
• Accounts.registerLoginHandler
• Accounts._generateStampedLoginToken
• Accounts._hashStampedToken

I'll probably write my own (janky) implementation of the above functions and try to get it working, probably storing in localStorage on the client... but I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone knew of a specific solution to this wrapped as package, or a clean example.

Ideally:

• meteor add xxxxx:rememberme
• setup
  • rememberMe.config.days = 9999
  • rememberMe.config.storageClient = localStorage

NOTE: this is related to Meteor Accounts autologin pattern?

Recommendations?

Answer 1

How about using the built-in Accounts.config(options) http://docs.meteor.com/#accounts_config

Accounts.config({
   loginExpirationInDays: null
}) 

Once logged in, it will never expire until the user logout again with Meteor.logout();

However, be aware that since the token is stored in localstorage, it get cleaned sometimes automatically by iOS or android
