Getting useUser.user updated when app_metadata changes

Describe the problem you’d like to have solved

Hi All, love the framework.

I need to get the client to check for changes in the idToken and accessToken once in a while.

using the kitchen-sink-example it takes a logout and a login in order to get any changes down to the client.

Im having a hard time understanding the whole space around “checksession” “refresh tokens”, some examples that is named my-handler that doesnt return anything. I think i read most of the documentation and i still cant get anything to work. Is this possible, and do you have any workable examples or hints on this?

Describe the ideal solution

I would like to get a new idToken at least on page refresh so like

useEffect( ()=> refresh() , [])

Alternatives and current work-arounds

I think this should be baked in, otherwise the whole app_metadata thing is pretty pointless. I just cant figure it out

Additional information, if any

Thank you

Ok for future reference i just made a function on api/refresh and did what this comment suggested.

Thank you @adamjmcgrath !

Hi @arbejd

I need to get the client to check for changes in the idToken and accessToken once in a while.

The authorization server issues ID Tokens and Access Tokens, so the only way to get new ones is to login again (you can use prompt=none to do this non interactively see #492 (comment))
