Server side rendering - manual refresh

For server side rendered apps, there will be instances when the access token has expired. In these cases, you need to use the refresh token to get a new access and a new refresh token. However, the refresh token is only sent to one special refresh API, which means that for all other APIs, you will not have the refresh token as an input. To solve this problem, those other APIs should send a response that manually refreshes the session and re-calls this API.

The attemptRefreshingSession function: API reference

Via NPM

Via script tag

import SuperTokensRequest from 'supertokens-website';

SuperTokensRequest.attemptRefreshingSession();

supertokens.fetch.attemptRefreshingSession();

• Calling the above function will result in a call to your refresh API. If refreshing succeeds, this function will return a Promise that will resolve to true, else false.
• If successful, you can automatically reload the page and the new access token will be sent to your API.
• If unsuccessful, then you should redirect the user to the login page.
