How do we store local Settings

[cbleek]

When running the app in electron, and clicking on the facebook button, the authentification does not work.

This is probably because we set the app id only in https://github.com/cross-solution/cross-solution.de/blob/master/src/boot/hello.js. An app secret is set nowhere. Maybe the auth is working in the web app (ssr:pwa mode) because facebook can determine a Hostname, which is sending requests.

However. We have to answer the question, how to store user settings in an electron app.

@calmcalmdown do you have an idea?

But does it runs as an electron app?

[sr7dev]

@cbleek i found why it is not working. maybe we don't need the app secret.

As you can see the client id(app id) is undefined

[cbleek]

But the headline of your screen shows "Google Chrome". Is the app running as an electron as described in:

https://cross-solution.de/download

[cbleek]

but you're right. The client_id seem's to be missing. I'f I clich on LinkedIn button running in electron mode I get the LinkedIn Response

The passed in client_id is invalid "undefined"

So the values defined in .env might be not inserted, when building the electron app.

@cbleek yeah, I think so

[cbleek]

However. The focus of this issue should be to think about how to store user settings. These .env values are some kind of user settings, I guess.

@cbleek i have made .env.production file and tested app. there is another error, maybe it is from facebook app settings.

[sr7dev]

could you give me facebook app settings?

@cbleek
please take a look at process.env.APP_URL in electron-main.js

I have tested on my local like the following steps.

• change process.env.APP_URL as http://localhost:8080(if you change as live url(cross-solution.de), also work for me)
• build-win32
• run on localhost(yarn dev)
• run electron app
  if then, electron app would be run as the localhost:8080(I am not sure, which is running without process.env.APP_URL value. currently there is not APP_URL in .env file. I think, maybe it is running embedded source within the executable file ) I can't see above issues. how do you think?

@cbleek any update?
