save and read session data for login in a json file

[gabriel-tandil]

you have a beautiful project here, a very small contribution.

Thanks for the contribution!

Personally, I think I would prefer the library not write these things to disk and opt for whoever is using it to take care of that instead. In my eyes, there are a couple of things that may cause it to not work as intended, so I would leave it up to the user to decide what is best for what they're trying to do.

@gabriel-tandil Looking at this again, I think we can do it. For whatever reason when I first reviewed this I assumed it was going into the library, but upon checking again I see that this is merely a contribution to the example. In this case, I think it's ok we provide something as a base for other people to build upon. Regardless, this whole example.js thing is less than ideal and I'd like to have a proper guide up at some point.

If you want, you can reopen this and we can get it merged. My only comments would be to rename config.json to maybe session.json as well as keeping that filename in a constant since it's used a couple times, and try to avoid the use of var, instead opting for const whenever possible and let where it's not.

I want to auto generate new session if the session details found in ./session.json is old. How is that possible?

[pedroslopez]

@iamshouvikmitra An "auth_failure" event is emitted when a session restore is not possible. You can use this to detect it and delete the existing session.

[iamshouvikmitra]

Yeah, @pedroslopez would you mind sharing a snippet of the same implementation. I am a little confused about killing the previous session. And defining a new client.

Ex -

let client = new Client({session : cfg})


client.on('auth_failure', () => {
    client = new Client ()
})

doesn't seems to be an working solution.
