Serialization and Deserialization

Serialization

The serializeUser function is used to determine what information is stored in the local session. Typically, this involves serializing a user object into a session identifier that will be used for subsequent requests.

authService.serializeUser(function(user) {
    // Serialize user information to store in the session
    // Here, user.id is used as the session identifier
    // Replace user.id with any other identifier if needed

    return user.id; // Return the identifier for the session
});

Parameters:

• user: The user object to be serialized, comes from the AuthResponse user.

Returns:

• The identifier (e.g., user.id) that will be stored in the session.

Deserialization

The deserializeUser function is responsible for loading the user information from the session identifier. This is where you retrieve the user object based on the identifier stored in the session.

authService.deserializeUser(function(id) {
    // Retrieve user information based on the session identifier
    // Use the identifier to find the corresponding user object in your database or user store

    const user = users.find(user => user.id === id); // Example: find user by ID

    // Return the user object if found, otherwise return null
    return user || null;
});

Parameters:

• id: The session identifier used to find the user.

Returns:

• The user object corresponding to the identifier, or null if no user is found.

:::Note=[Note] Replace users.find(user => user.id === id) with your actual user lookup logic. :::
