Support API Error Login Callbacks

[mohamedmansour]

When a user isn't logged on, we need a callback from the API to handle when the user logged on Google+ and when they are not logged (authed).

Perhaps we should create the endoint such as.

plus.setAuthCallback(function(state) {
   console.log('State changed', state.isAuthed);
});

The way we are getting the authed user is failing now since the Auth Session is always valid now.

Sounds good.

Can you explain what's currently happening? What do you mean by Auth session is always valid?

[mohamedmansour]

Try logging out and initialize JSAPI, will it return failure?
Now try logging in a Google Account which doesn't have a Google+ account, will it return failure?

When we initalized the JSAPI and then we logged out, the API will return a single row map with a null which means (afaik) your not authed. What we should do, for every API caller, we need to validate the response and produce a fail callback if that happens.

To make developers life easier, perhaps we can have a callback that shows the state of auth, because some extensions would like to:

• Change the badge to an error badge if auth is failing.
• Show an HTML5 notification if an auth is not working
• Or show some custom UI for errors.

Something developers can hook into to catch failures. to manage a global state.

I just want to catch errors where the user is requesting an API call which they don't have access to (due to multiple login issue where their primary account isn't their Google+ account), or if they are logged out after. The getSession seems flaky.

I will see what the issue is.
