Revoking a session

Online mode

This is applicable when the user is online and you want to revoke their session via an API call from their frontend client.

Method 1: Call the signOut function from the frontend

ReactJS

The signOut method revokes the session on the frontend and backend.

import React from "react";
import { signOut } from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/emailpassword";

function NavBar() {
  async function onLogout() {
    await signOut();
    window.location.href = "/auth"; // or redirect to wherever the login page is
  }
  return (
    <ul>
      <li>Home</li>
      <li onClick={onLogout}>Logout</li>

    </ul>
  )
}

Angular

The signOut method revokes the session for the user.

import Session from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session";

async function logout () {
  await Session.signOut(); 
  window.location.href = "/auth"; // or redirect to wherever the login page is
}

Vue

The signOut method revokes the session for the user.

import Session from "supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session";

async function logout () {
  await Session.signOut(); 
  window.location.href = "/auth"; // or redirect to wherever the login page is
}

Method 2: Call the revokeSession function post session verification on the backend

NodeJS

Important

For other backend frameworks, you can follow our guide on how to spin up a separate server configured with the SuperTokens backend SDK to authenticate requests and issue session tokens.

GoLang

Express

import express from "express";
import { verifySession } from "supertokens-node/recipe/session/framework/express";
import { SessionRequest } from "supertokens-node/framework/express";

let app = express();

app.post("/someapi", verifySession(), async (req: SessionRequest, res) => {

    // This will delete the session from the db and from the frontend (cookies)
    await req.session!.revokeSession();

    res.send("Success! User session revoked");
});

let server = Hapi.server({ port: 8000 });

server.route({
    path: "/someapi",
    method: "post",
    options: {
        pre: [
            {
                method: verifySession()
            },
        ],
    },
    handler: async (req: SessionRequest, res) => {
        // This will delete the session from the db and from the frontend (cookies)
        await req.session!.revokeSession();
        return res.response("Success! User session revoked").code(200);
    }
})

    await awsEvent.session!.revokeSession();

    return {
        body: JSON.stringify({ message: "Success! User session revoked" }),
        statusCode: 200,

    // This will delete the session from the db and from the frontend (cookies)
    await ctx.session!.revokeSession();

    ctx.body = "Success! User session revoked";
});

Other Frameworks

FastAPI

from supertokens_python.recipe.session.framework.fastapi import verify_session
from supertokens_python.recipe.session import SessionContainer
from fastapi import Depends
from fastapi.responses import PlainTextResponse

async def some_api(session: SessionContainer = Depends(verify_session())):
    await session.revoke_session() # This will delete the session from the db and from the frontend (cookies)
    return PlainTextResponse(content='success')

Flask

    session: SessionContainer = g.supertokens 

    session.sync_revoke_session() # This will delete the session from the db and from the frontend (cookies)
    return 'success'

Django

from supertokens_python.recipe.session.framework.django.asyncio import verify_session
from django.http import HttpRequest
from supertokens_python.recipe.session import SessionContainer

@verify_session()
async def some_api(request: HttpRequest):
    session: SessionContainer = request.supertokens  This will delete the session from the db and from the frontend (cookies)
    await session.revoke_session()

Offline mode

caution

This method of revoking a session will only delete the session from the database and not from the frontend.

This implies that the user will still be able to access protected endpoints while their access token is alive.

If you want to instantly logout the user in this mode, you should enable access token blacklisting.

This is applicable when the user is offline, or if you want to revoke their session from the backend.

Method 1: Revoke a session using its sessionHandle

NodeJS

Important

For other backend frameworks, you can follow our guide on how to spin up a separate server configured with the SuperTokens backend SDK to authenticate requests and issue session tokens.

GoLang

import Session from "supertokens-node/recipe/session";

async function revokeSession(sessionHandle: string) {
    let revoked = await Session.revokeSession(sessionHandle);
};

Python

import "github.com/supertokens/supertokens-golang/recipe/session"

func main() {
    sessionHandle := "someSessionHandle"
    revoked, err := session.RevokeSession(sessionHandle)
    if err != nil {
        // TODO: Handle error
        return
    }

    if revoked {
        // session was revoked
    } else {
        // session was not found
    }
}

Other Frameworks

Asyncio

from supertokens_python.recipe.session.asyncio import revoke_session

async def some_func():
    session_handle = "someSessionHandle"
    _ = await revoke_session(session_handle)

Syncio

from supertokens_python.recipe.session.syncio import revoke_session

session_handle = "someSessionHandle"
revoked = revoke_session(session_handle)

You can fetch all of the sessionHandles for a user using the getAllSessionHandlesForUser function

Method 2: Revoke all sessions for a user

NodeJS

Important

For other backend frameworks, you can follow our guide on how to spin up a separate server configured with the SuperTokens backend SDK to authenticate requests and issue session tokens.

GoLang

import express from "express";
import Session from "supertokens-node/recipe/session";

let app = express();

app.use("/revoke-all-user-sessions", async (req, res) => {

    let userId = req.body.userId
    await Session.revokeAllSessionsForUser(userId);

    res.send("Success! All user sessions have been revoked");
});

Python

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/supertokens/supertokens-golang/recipe/session"
)

func main() {
    tenantId := "public"
    revokedSessionHandles, err := session.RevokeAllSessionsForUser("userId", &tenantId)
    if err != nil {
        // TODO: Handle error
        return
    }

    // revokedSessionHandles is an array of revoked session handles.
    fmt.Println(revokedSessionHandles)
}

Other Frameworks

Asyncio

from supertokens_python.recipe.session.asyncio import revoke_all_sessions_for_user

async def some_func():
    user_id = "someUserId"
    revoked_session_handles = await revoke_all_sessions_for_user(user_id)

    print(revoked_session_handles) # revoked_session_handles is an array of revoked session handles.

Syncio

from supertokens_python.recipe.session.syncio import revoke_all_sessions_for_user

user_id = "someUserId"
revoked_session_handles = revoke_all_sessions_for_user(user_id)

# revoked_session_handles is an array of revoked session handles.

Multi Tenancy

By default, revokeAllSessionsForUser will delete all the sessions for the user across all the tenants. If you want to delete the sessions for a user in a specific tenant, you can pass the tenant ID as a parameter to the function call.
