koa-grant: How to get the user info from session about grant

[simov]

By default Grant returns the result data from the OAuth flow as a querystring, that's why you see only a meta data in the session that's used internally by Grant during the OAuth flow.

If you want the result data returned in the session instead, you have to set transport:'session' under the server key in your configuration, take a look at the configuration docs

Let me know if that solves your problem.

I'm not sure that I understand your exact scenario, but here is what you can do - just store the access token somewhere in your database and link it to your user data.

@simov thank you.

What i want to do is, eg

• user login with a provider, like github
• /connect/github/callback // seems grant set session here.
• /handle_github_callback // I want to fetch and store user info here, for example link session with access token.

After the above step, the login user access /demo page, then how can I get the user info from DB, as far as i known, the this.session only contains

{ 
  grant: { 
    provider: 'github',
    dynamic: {} 
  } 
}

That means i can't find current users access token or any other useful information besides provider.

Maybe a stupid question, thank you for your time.
