How to get logged in user with activeOrder.

[ivsaneesh]

I am using Vue for frontend. Logged-in using login api, but not able to find customer after login. Tried using activeCustomer and me API.
What I have done is login the customer, then it sends the user to home page. From there, i am not getting the logged-in user details and active order of that user.

Are you using the VueStorefront integration?

[michaelbromley]

ok. Sounds like a session management issue. Are you using cookies or bearer tokens to manage sessions?

cookies

It will be good to have a video tutorial of full application development from login to check out. Can you post a video on YouTube. It will be helpful to developers like us

What is the best way to keep the session. Is there an issue with using cookie.

You can run into issues with cookies if the Vendure server is running on a different domain to your storefront. You need to google "SameSite cookies" and read about it. Alternatively you can use the bearer token method which requires a bit more setup of your storefront graphql client, but does not suffer from these SameSite issues. See https://www.vendure.io/docs/storefront/configuring-a-graphql-client/
