Fetching sessions for a user
Given a user ID, we can fetch all sessions that are currently active for that user using the getAllSessionHandlesForUser
function:
- NodeJS
- GoLang
- Python
- Other Frameworks
Important
For other backend frameworks, you can follow our guide on how to spin up a separate server configured with the SuperTokens backend SDK to authenticate requests and issue session tokens.
import Session from "supertokens-node/recipe/session";
async function getSessions() {
let userId = "someUserId" // fetch somehow
// sessionHandles is string[]
let sessionHandles = await Session.getAllSessionHandlesForUser(userId);
sessionHandles.forEach((handle) => {
/* we can do the following with the handle:
* - revoke this session
* - change access token payload or session data
* - fetch access token payload or session data
*/
})
}
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/supertokens/supertokens-golang/recipe/session"
)
func main() {
// sessionHandles is string[]
sessionHandles, err := session.GetAllSessionHandlesForUser("someUserId")
if err != nil {
// TODO: handle error
return
}
for _, currSessionHandle := range sessionHandles {
/* we can do the following with the currSessionHandle:
* - revoke this session
* - change access token payload or session data
* - fetch access token payload or session data
*/
fmt.Println(currSessionHandle)
}
}
