Explicitly Set-Cookie ("remember" behavior)

[dvnrsn]

In the default Indie Stack I notice this createUserSession which includes a mechanism for setting cookie expiration (max-age)

const session = await getSession(request);
  session.set(USER_SESSION_KEY, userId);
  return redirect(redirectTo, {
    headers: {
      "Set-Cookie": await sessionStorage.commitSession(session, {
        maxAge: remember
          ? 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 // 7 days
          : undefined,
      }),
    },
  });

I am trying to figure out how to implement the same in remix-auth. Would it be a matter of changing headers in the action of login? Is this advanced usage example gleaning something useful?

You need to do something similar to the advanced usage examples, don't use successRedirect and instead manually save the data to the session.

Ok this works (edited because I had forgotten the very important session.set(authenticator.sessionKey, user);

const user = await authenticator.authenticate("user-pass", request, {
    failureRedirect: "/join",
    context: { formData },
  });

const session = await sessionStorage.getSession(
  request.headers.get("Cookie"),
);
session.set(authenticator.sessionKey, user);
const headers = new Headers({
  "Set-Cookie": await sessionStorage.commitSession(session, {
    maxAge: remember ? 30 * 24 * 60 * 60 : undefined,
  }),
});
return redirect(redirectTo, { headers });
