A team building a collaborative document editing tool needs a robust client-side JavaScript module that manages the PubNub connection lifecycle. Users connect to shared editing channels, and the app needs to handle authentication seamlessly -- fetching credentials from the backend, initializing PubNub, and gracefully handling situations where access is denied or credentials expire during a session.
The biggest pain point is that users currently get disconnected without warning when their session credentials expire, losing unsaved edits. The team wants a self-contained auth manager class that proactively refreshes credentials before they expire and handles access errors by automatically attempting to re-authenticate rather than dropping the connection.
Build this as a client-side JavaScript module that another developer can import and use.
Create a file called pubnub-auth-manager.js containing:
PubNubAuthManager that encapsulates all PubNub authentication logicserverAuthUrl (the backend endpoint URL) and userSessionToken (the current user's session JWT)initialize() method that fetches credentials from the server, sets up PubNub, and starts credential lifecycle managementsubscribe(channels) method that subscribes to the given channelsdestroy() method that cleans up timers and disconnectsAlso create a brief usage-example.js showing how to instantiate and use the class.
