feat: On window focus, redirect to login if the user has been logged out #18773

suddjian · 2022-02-17T01:00:36Z

SUMMARY

If you have Superset open in the background and your session expires, the frontend will still display the logged-in state until the next request happens to fire, jarringly sending you all of a sudden to the login page.

Until now.

This code listens for the document's visibilitychange event. When the tab is focused, a request is made to the new /api/v1/me/ endpoint, which returns 401 if the user is not logged in. The SupersetClient detects the 401 and sends the user to the login page.

TESTING INSTRUCTIONS

Open Superset in two tabs. Log out of one tab. Switch to the other tab. It will immediately redirect to the login page.

I didn't want to add a permission for this API, because it should be callable by any user. @dpgaspar this is safe, yeah?

I think this getMe API is great, as it may have plenty o' uses (e.g. when we revisit the Profile design). But just to say it "out loud" we could also implement a GET /time API or something as a lightweight, security-irrelevant API, if performance or security ever become a factor here.

Added is_anonymous here for consistency

+    // we only care about the tab becoming visible, not vice versa
+    if (document.visibilityState !== 'visible') return;


Do we want to do this every time the user changes a tab (even if there are two Superset tabs), or maybe not more often than every x seconds?

It's a pretty cheap endpoint to call, and most people probably aren't changing tabs often enough to be an issue. I think this is fine.

Agree with @suddjian , but good callout — I always appreciate a performance-oriented mindset

Le sigh... not the concern of this PR by any means, but maybe we should make backlog ticket(s) to add types for common/config.

Curious what feedback @dpgaspar would have on the backend/security issue, but the changes look good to me, and it sure seems like it does the trick in testing!

I am wondering if returning 401 for anonymous users won't effectively make read-only access impossible for them?

Oh ok I see what you are doing in the frontend to avoid this being requested for anon users bootstrapData.user?.isActive. I am thinking if this might confuse someone else when using this endpoint in some other places and if we might end up in that problem, but I might just be overthinking it right now.

This endpoint is only called if the user isActive, which is synonymous with !isAnonymous
