Combine doesSessionExist and validateClaims into a single function

Status

This is just a proposal so far, it hasn't been accepted and needs further discussion.

Status:: proposed
Deciders:: rishabhpoddar, porcellus
Proposed by:: porcellus
Created:: 2022-11-28

Context and Problem Statement#

Apps have to call both doesSessionExist and validateClaims to completely check if the user should access a page. We want to make this simpler.

Considered Options#

Improve documentation
Add function that combines both calls

Decision Outcome#

Add a combined function (hasAccess):

new function to web-js that combines doesSessionExists and validateClaims
no redirection
Returns: { hasAccess: true } | {hasAccess: false, invalidClaims: [], sessionExists: boolean}

Reasons:

A separate validateClaims is just too easy to forget.
