toSession method

Future<Response<Session>> toSession({ String? xSessionToken, String? cookie, CancelToken? cancelToken, Map<String, dynamic>? headers, Map<String, dynamic>? extra, ValidateStatus? validateStatus, ProgressCallback? onSendProgress, ProgressCallback? onReceiveProgress, })

Check Who the Current HTTP Session Belongs To Uses the HTTP Headers in the GET request to determine (e.g. by using checking the cookies) who is authenticated. Returns a session object in the body or 401 if the credentials are invalid or no credentials were sent. Additionally when the request it successful it adds the user ID to the 'X-Kratos-Authenticated-Identity-Id' header in the response. If you call this endpoint from a server-side application, you must forward the HTTP Cookie Header to this endpoint: ```js pseudo-code example router.get('/protected-endpoint', async function (req, res) { const session = await client.toSession(undefined, req.header('cookie')) console.log(session) }) ``` When calling this endpoint from a non-browser application (e.g. mobile app) you must include the session token: ```js pseudo-code example ... const session = await client.toSession(&quot;the-session-token&quot;) console.log(session) ``` Depending on your configuration this endpoint might return a 403 status code if the session has a lower Authenticator Assurance Level (AAL) than is possible for the identity. This can happen if the identity has password + webauthn credentials (which would result in AAL2) but the session has only AAL1. If this error occurs, ask the user to sign in with the second factor or change the configuration. This endpoint is useful for: AJAX calls. Remember to send credentials and set up CORS correctly! Reverse proxies and API Gateways Server-side calls - use the `X-Session-Token` header! This endpoint authenticates users by checking if the `Cookie` HTTP header was set containing an Ory Kratos Session Cookie; if the `Authorization: bearer <ory-session-token>` HTTP header was set with a valid Ory Kratos Session Token; if the `X-Session-Token` HTTP header was set with a valid Ory Kratos Session Token. If none of these headers are set or the cooke or token are invalid, the endpoint returns a HTTP 401 status code. As explained above, this request may fail due to several reasons. The `error.id` can be one of: `session_inactive`: No active session was found in the request (e.g. no Ory Session Cookie / Ory Session Token). `session_aal2_required`: An active session was found but it does not fulfil the Authenticator Assurance Level, implying that the session must (e.g.) authenticate the second factor.

Parameters:

• xSessionToken - Set the Session Token when calling from non-browser clients. A session token has a format of MP2YWEMeM8MxjkGKpH4dqOQ4Q4DlSPaj.
• cookie - Set the Cookie Header. This is especially useful when calling this endpoint from a server-side application. In that scenario you must include the HTTP Cookie Header which originally was included in the request to your server. An example of a session in the HTTP Cookie Header is: ory_kratos_session=a19iOVAbdzdgl70Rq1QZmrKmcjDtdsviCTZx7m9a9yHIUS8Wa9T7hvqyGTsLHi6Qifn2WUfpAKx9DWp0SJGleIn9vh2YF4A16id93kXFTgIgmwIOvbVAScyrx7yVl6bPZnCx27ec4WQDtaTewC1CpgudeDV2jQQnSaCP6ny3xa8qLH-QUgYqdQuoA_LF1phxgRCUfIrCLQOkolX5nv3ze_f==. It is ok if more than one cookie are included here as all other cookies will be ignored.
• cancelToken - A CancelToken that can be used to cancel the operation
• headers - Can be used to add additional headers to the request
• extras - Can be used to add flags to the request
• validateStatus - A ValidateStatus callback that can be used to determine request success based on the HTTP status of the response
• onSendProgress - A ProgressCallback that can be used to get the send progress
• onReceiveProgress - A ProgressCallback that can be used to get the receive progress

Returns a Future containing a Response with a Session as data Throws DioError if API call or serialization fails
