🚀 Hello Hive Community! 🐝
Welcome, awesome Hive fam!
Today, let’s put on our techie hats 🧢 and embark on a (sometimes bumpy) ride through my AIOHA integration journey. Spoiler: 🍋 Easy-peasy…until it’s not! Let’s sprinkle some fun, fresh tips, share the facepalm moments, and map out what works for Hive auth—AIOHA style!
✨ Why I Consider Building Hive Authentication From Scratch
When it comes to integrating Hive-auth, AIOHA looked like a knight in shining armor for 3-4 months. But now, the real question is… should I customise it or build fresh? Let’s dive in with some lemon-tastic takes! 🍋👇
🙌 It's So Easy... Until It's Not!
- For months,
made my dev life a walk in the park 🌳.
- Plug and play with blockchain stuff? ✅ Instantly solved!
- Auto Hive login? ✅. Broadcast any transaction? ✅.
- Account switching? Triple yes! 🕺🪩
🧈 So, Where’s the Butter Slippery?
Of course, not everything’s smooth sailing... Butter sometimes slips from the bread! 🧈🍞
Let’s break down each hiccup so you can LOL and learn from my adventures.
❓ Login But Not Logged In (Wait, What?! 🙃)
- Had a user saying, “Logged in… but no data!” 🚫📊
- Dug deeper, and boom! Login-API flaked. No JWT token. 🍂
- Not AIOHA’s fault—server hiccup during a restart.
- User felt logged in, but backend said “Nope.”
- Pro tip: If API fails,
aioha.logout();to the rescue!
(But hang on, more curveballs coming up… 🎢)
🕵️ Is User Logged In or Logged Out? Schrödinger's Session! 🧪
- JWT tokens expire after 30 days ⏰ (session goes kaboom).
- But AIOHA? Keeps the “session” alive forever like an energetic puppy 🐶.
- Result: Must write extra code to sync token expiry AND AIOHA session—
Or users become session zombies 👻 (logged out but shhh, don’t tell AIOHA).
🔄 Switch User: Magical Yet Messy 🧙♂️
- On surface: Easy peasy! UI account switcher – tick! 🟢
- Problem: App doesn’t know about the switch unless you listen for special events 🦻
- More fun: You gotta roll your own code to handle tokens of switched users.
- Double trouble: What if session is expired but user switched via AIOHA? Uh-oh. 🫠
🔐 Private Key Based Login: The Lone Wolf 🐺
- AIOHA says “nope” to multiple private-posting-key logins—one at a time only 🔑😞.
- Advocates server-side use (client side = 🚨 security risk!).
- Some users (like
) LOVE logging in with multiple private-posting keys, but can’t do easily.
🎨 ReactUI: Not My Style 💃
- AIOHA’s ReactUI may clash with your app’s theme. 🎭
- So you end up building your own UI…and then, why not build the core too from scratch? 🤷
📝 Features I Miss (AIOHA Wishlist) 🌟
- Disabling the “View in Explorer” button? Nope ❌
- Click event for log-out? Only with
disconnectevent—no direct callback 🙃 - No avatars—neither on user lists nor during username typing! 🫥
- “One-click log out from all accounts” = still on my wishlist 📝
🎯 Conclusion
All in all, AIOHA is a fantastic starter kit 🚀.
Perfect for hackathons, jumpstarts, or prototypes.
But when you want custom features, you might hit the feature ceiling!
What AIOHA built is brilliantly general. What we need? Sometimes, a tailor-made suit! 🕴️
I hope this fun breakdown helps fellow devs who want to integrate
Happy coding, Hive friends. Let’s keep building, laughing, and sharing the bumps along the blockchain! 🐝💻😄
