How to sign out a user after page refresh?

问题

I'm following Google's guide to sign out a user.

Considering that gapi.auth2 will be undefined after refreshing the page, I'm doing:

if (gapi.auth2) {
    var auth2 = gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance();
    auth2.signOut();
} else {
    gapi.load('auth2', function () {
        gapi.auth2.init({
            client_id: 'myAppID',
            cookiepolicy: 'single_host_origin'
        }).signOut();
    });
}

But I get uncaught exception: This method can only be invoked after the token manager is started in the else block.

I also have tried to store the auth instance in local storage but doing that led to some cyclic object value errors while stringifying it.

One posible solution is to do a

document.location.href = "https://www.google.com/accounts/Logout?continue=https://appengine.google.com/_ah/logout?continue=myUrl";

but, instead of logging the user out only of my application, that would affect all Google's services in which he is logged, besides doing an unwanted redirection.

Is there a different approach?

回答1:

there is a easier way, you just have to call .then after calling gapi.auth2.init

gapi.load('auth2', function () {
   var auth2 = gapi.auth2.init({
       client_id: 'myAppID',
       cookiepolicy: 'single_host_origin'
   });
   auth2.then(function(){
        // this get called right after token manager is started
        auth2.signOut();
   });
});

回答2:

Instead of retrieving the singleton for the GoogleAuth library and setting up the client in my sign-in page controller, I had to initialize it in the index.html file:

<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/api:client.js?onload=start" async defer></script>
<script>
    function start() {
      gapi.load('auth2', function() {
        auth2 = gapi.auth2.init({
            client_id: 'myAppID',
            cookiepolicy: 'single_host_origin'
        });
      });
    }
</script>

That solved the logout problem. However, if the sign-in page was refreshed, its controller logic would be executed before the gapi.auth2 was defined and it wouldn't be posible to successfully attach the click handler to the sign-in button.

In order to avoid that - though not being an elegant solution -, I used $interval to wait until gapi.auth2 was initialized:

waitForAuth2Initialization = $interval(function () {
    console.log("Checking...");
    if (!gapi.auth2)
        return;
    console.log("Ok, gapi.auth2 is not undefined anymore");
    var auth2 = gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance();
    // Attach signin
    auth2.attachClickHandler...

    $interval.cancel(waitForAuth2Initialization);
}, 50);

EDIT: another possible solution is to use a promise callback for the controller logic to wait until the promise is resolved i.e. until Google API is fully loaded and gapi.auth2 is ready to use. It is posible to achieve that by doing:

<script src="https://apis.google.com/js/api:client.js?onload=start" async defer></script>
<script>
    gapiPromise = (function () {
        var deferred = $.Deferred();
        window.start = function () {
            deferred.resolve(gapi);
        };
        return deferred.promise();
    }());
    auth2Promise = gapiPromise.then(function () {
        var deferred = $.Deferred();
        gapi.load('auth2', function () {
            auth2 = gapi.auth2.init({
                client_id: 'myAppID',
                cookiepolicy: 'single_host_origin'
            }).then(function () { 
                deferred.resolve(gapi.auth2); 
            });
        });
        return deferred.promise();
    });
</script>

And then in the controller:

auth2Promise.then(function () {
    console.log("Ok, gapi.auth2 is not undefined anymore");
    var auth2 = gapi.auth2.getAuthInstance();
    // Attach signin
    auth2.attachClickHandler...
});

But, the downside of this approach is that it is slower (taking twice as much time for the click handler to be attached) than the first one using $interval.
