WordPress Session Check - Mint Starter Kit

Overview

The WordPress Session Check endpoint provides true server-to-server communication between SvelteKit and WordPress. This endpoint allows automatic authentication of users with active WordPress sessions without requiring cookies.

This feature is part of the V6 auto-login implementation that replaced the previous cookie-based approach.

Use Cases

Seamless Authentication: Automatically log users into SvelteKit when they’re already logged into WordPress
Cross-Domain Login: Works across different domains without CORS issues
Improved Security: Uses server-to-server communication with shared secrets instead of cookies

Implementation Example

Here’s how to call this endpoint from the frontend:

async function checkWordPressSession() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch('/api/auth/check-wp-session', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        clientTimestamp: Date.now(),
        clientInfo: {
          url: window.location.href,
          userAgent: navigator.userAgent,
          clientId: localStorage.getItem('asap_client_id') || 'unknown'
        }
      })
    });
    
    const data = await response.json();
    
    if (data.success) {
      console.log('Auto-login successful!', data.user);
      return true;
    } else {
      console.warn('Auto-login failed:', data.error, data.details);
      return false;
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error during auto-login check:', error);
    return false;
  }
}
