在 nodejs 中存储 api 访问令牌的位置

Question

I have a react+nodejs setup for a web application. From the Nodejs(server-side) I connect to a third party server using the bearer token.

Step 1: Call the third party login URL with username and password. I will get a Token in the response with expiry details.

Step 2: Send other requests with the valid token.

Step 3: Before sending request I need to check if the token that I am having is expired or not. If not expired, proceed step 2. Otherwise, proceed with step 1 and then step 2.

I know, in the React application, I can store the token in local storage, and I also can check if it is expired or not.

How can I do this in NodeJs(server-side)? Do I have to store the token in the database along with expiry time? Or is there any other secure way to store the toke on server temporarily?

Answer 1

You could create a properties file, also you could create environment variables (I think thist is a better option).
