How is it possible to recall loadTokens again after the user logs in successfully in Bearer Authentication?

Normally when the user opens the app the loadTokens will be triggered and because there is no saved access token it returns BearerTokens(null, null). After the user logs in I save the access and refresh token in the database but loadTokens won’t be triggered again to set new access and refresh token. How can I force the Ktor to trigger loadTokens again after the user logs in?

install(Auth) {
    bearer {
        loadTokens {
            // Some code to retrieve access and refresh token from the database
            BearerTokens(accessToken, refreshToken)
        }
    }
}

loadTokens block should return null where there is no valid token

Ok, I changed my code to return null in case there in no saved access token but it still does not trigger loadTokens on every request to check if there is any new access and refresh tokens.

then you can use this code after you save your tokens client.plugin(Auth).providers.filterIsInstance<BearerAuthProvider>().first().clearToken()
it’s ugly, but should work

It works even though it’s not that nice 😄
Thank you bro

Should I use this code after updating access token using refresh token?

[Rustam Siniukov]

no, it should update automatically
