Update user data in authenticator.isAuthenticated(request)

[kavinvalli]

I'm currently using this to get the user

  const user = await authenticator.isAuthenticated(request);

Now, if I'm making a change to the user, it's not updated in the session user data. Is there some way to do that?

If you update the user data you need to get the session object, change the authenticator.sessionKey with the new value, commit the session and send the new cookie to the browser, on the next request isAuthenticated will give you the need value from the session.

Hi. Can you give an example please cause I'm not able to implement this

[sergiodxa]

// get the session object
let session = await sessionStorage.getSession(request.headers.get("Cookie"))

// replace the user data on the session
session.set(authenticator.sessionKey, newUserData)

// commit the session to a cookie string
let cookie = await sessionStorage.commitSession(session)

// and return the cookie in a response, json or redirect for example
return redirect(somePath, { headers: { "Set-Cookie": cookie } })
return json(someData, { headers: { "Set-Cookie": cookie } })

Would be nice if this was "abstracted away". So we can do just auth.updateValue("key", "value").
