In this meeting, the State Changers discussed automating authentication token generation and management using Xano. Nathan shared his workflow, where he pulls the authentication token from Xano and creates a variable for it. He also mentioned using the user auth ID for specific API calls and saving the Xano ID for referencing users. However, he made a mistake by not persisting the Xano auth token, resulting in users getting logged out. He advised making the token persistent and adding a Time to Live (TTL) to determine its expiration. TTL refers to how long the token will last, with banking apps typically having a shorter duration. Nathan also mentioned using a token refresh pattern to update the token when users log in or engage with the app. Overall, the discussion focused on token management and best practices for ensuring a smooth authentication experience.
