How can global state shared between browser windows with overmind?

Currently, I check if the user has logged in but opening a new tab redirects to the login page.

Please see #456

Is that related to SSR? I am using Next.js static site generation with apollo client, so completely client side.

Is there any example on sharing state between windows?

So this issue and this gist have a different purpose, right?

This sounds like more of a persistence problem rather than an overmind problem - how are you storing the login? If you open a new tab you open a new instance of the page - all JS re-runs, therefore overmind re-inits, etc.

If you are using something like AWS Amplify for example, then this sort of thing is easily solvable by calling the right action on persisted login, i.e.:

Auth.currentUserInfo().then(user => if(user.isLoggedInSomehow) actions.setUserLogin(true); else actions.setUserLogin(false) }

Closing this but reopen if needed
