@spec delete_session(Plug.Conn.t(), Charon.Config.t()) :: Plug.Conn.t()

Delete the persistent session identified by the session_id in the token claims.

Note that the token remains valid until it expires, it is left up to the client to drop the access token. It will no longer be possible to refresh the session, however.

@spec upsert_session(Plug.Conn.t(), Charon.Config.t(), upsert_session_opts()) ::
  Plug.Conn.t()

Create or update a session. If a session exists in the conn, the session is updated / refreshed, otherwise a new one is created. Refresh an existing session by putting it on the connection with Charon.TokenPlugs.load_session/2.

In both cases, new access / refresh tokens are created and stored in the conn's private map. The server-side session stored in the session store is created / updated as well.

If a new session is created, options :user_id and :token_transport must be provided or an error will be raised.

The token transport can be:

• :cookie_only - tokens are returned to the client as cookies
• :cookie - tokens' signatures are split from the tokens and sent as http-only strictly-same-site secure cookies
• :bearer - tokens are left as-is for the implementing application to return to the client

If config option :enforce_browser_cookies is enabled, browser clients will be attempted to be detected by the presence of (forbidden) header "Sec-Fetch-Mode", in which case only cookie-based token transports will be allowed. This feature is experimental and disabled by default, although this may change in a future release.

Optionally, it is possible to add extra claims to the access- and refresh tokens or to store extra payload in the server-side session.

Session stores may return an optimistic locking error, meaning there are concurrent updates to a session. In this case, upsert/3 will raise a Charon.SessionPlugs.SessionUpdateConflictError, which should result in an HTTP 409 Conflict error. If the session store returns another error, a Charon.SessionPlugs.SessionStorageError is raised, which is an unrecoverable state that should result in an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error.

claims

Claims

The following claims are set by default:

• "exp" expires at (this value is guaranteed to never outlive the session itself)
• "iat" time of token creation
• "iss" issuer, usually a url like "https://myapp.com"
• "jti" jwt id, random unique id for the token (a refresh token's id is stored in the session as well)
• "nbf" not before, same value as "iat" but means "token not valid before this time"
• "sid" session id
• "sub" subject, the user id of the session owner
• "type" type, "access" or "refresh"
• "styp" session type

Additional claims or overrides can be provided with opts.
