docusaurus-plugin-refresh-session

If you have a Docusaurus site that is protected by authentication, you need to handle specific errors that may happen on the client side when the authentication token expires. The client React SPA will try to fetch additional resources client-side when a user navigates to another page. If these resources fail to load due to an expired authentication token, we need to redirect the user to the login page so they can reauthenticate.

This has been tested with Docusaurus running on Netlify using netlify-okta-auth.

Installation

npm install --save @twilio-labs/docusaurus-plugin-refresh-session

Or, if you prefer Yarn:

yarn add @twilio-labs/docusaurus-plugin-refresh-session

Configuration

Accepted fields:

Name	Type	Default	Description
redirectUrl	string	""	Url to redirect to when login expires.

If redirectUrl is left empty, it will just refresh the current page.

Example configuration

docusaurus.config.js

Use defaults:

  plugins: [
    "@twilio-labs/docusaurus-plugin-refresh-session",
  ],

Specify redirectUrl:

  plugins: [
    [
      "@twilio-labs/docusaurus-plugin-refresh-session",
      {
        redirectUrl: "https://example.com/login"
      },
    ],
  ],

Other features

If you are using Segment to track your site (perhaps using the docusaurus-plugin-segment package), this plugin will send an even to Segment whenever the session is refreshed.

If you aren't using Segment, nothing is tracked.
