Session

Parse. Session

A Parse.Session object is a local representation of a revocable session. This class is a subclass of a Parse.Object, and retains the same functionality of a Parse.Object.

Constructor

new Session(attributes)

Parameters:
Name Type Description
attributes Object

The initial set of data to store in the user.

Extends

Members

attributes

Prototype getters / setters

Type:
  • Date

updatedAt :Date

Methods

(static) current() → {Promise}

Retrieves the Session object for the currently logged in session.

Returns:
Type:
Promise

A promise that is resolved with the Parse.Session object after it has been fetched. If there is no current user, the promise will be rejected.

(static) isCurrentSessionRevocable() → {Boolean}

Determines whether the current session token is revocable. This method is useful for migrating Express.js or Node.js web apps to use revocable sessions. If you are migrating an app that uses the Parse SDK in the browser only, please use Parse.User.enableRevocableSession() instead, so that sessions can be automatically upgraded.

Boolean
