Hey, I need from the users when they last logged in. About getUser i get only "timeJoined". Is this stored in the database of the core at all or do I have to store it myself via "updateUserMetadata"?

Hi, We currently dont store this information, you would have to handle that yourself

You can make your own session verification middleware like this:

Copy code

ts
import { SessionRequest } from "../../framework/express"
import UserMetadata from "../../recipe/usermetadata";

function customVerifySession(options: Session.VerifySessionOptions) {
    return (req: SessionRequest, res, next) => {
        verifySession(options)(req, res, (err) => {
            if (err) {
                return next(err);
            }
            if (req.session !== undefined) {
                let userId = req.session.getUserId();

                // we do this asynchronously...
                UserMetadata.updateUserMetadata(userId, {
                    timeActive: Date.now()
                });
            }
            next();
        })
    }
}

And then you can use

customVerifySession

everywhere in your APIs. Furthermore, you might want to override the sign in / up APIs as well to do:

Copy code

UserMetadata.updateUserMetadata(userId, {
                    timeActive: Date.now()
                });

Then whenever you want, you can get the last active time of a user by querying:

Copy code

UserMetadata.getUserMetadata(userId).then(r => {
    let lastActiveTime = r.metadata.timeActive
});
