I have the following piece of code where the user is stored in the cookie. The expiry time for the cookie is also set. The user page is still showing even after the cookie has expired.

             var expired = new Date();
             expired.setTime(expired.getTime() + (60*1000));
             $cookieStore.put('user', user.username, {expires : expired });

             $timeout(function(){
                 if(!$cookieStore.get('user')){
                 $window.location.href = 'redirectlink';
}


},60);

What about on page loading, you get the expiration date and use a setTimeout() to refresh it or redirect your user on an other page ?

Some ressources about settimeout :

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WindowTimers/setTimeout
• Stackoverflow : JavaScript,setTimeout

Best would be to display 1 minutes before expiration date a popup inviting user to update it or perform an action.

Assuming your cookie/session is not httpOnly you can poll to check if the cookie/session exists locally (document.cookie), redirecting when your cookie is not found within document.cookie. If you have the httpOnly flag set, you will not be able to see it in document.cookie. You can set a timeout for 20 minutes. Use the AngularJS's http interceptors to clear the timeout when a request is made and then create a new one.

So, if I understand what you're asking properly, you can't really "detect" a cookie expiration per se.

If a cookie is expired, the browser will not send it to the server, which is to say, cookie expiration actually happens on the browser side, not the server side.

However, if you wanted to "fake" it, you might try something like the following psuedocode:

on "login":
    set a cookie that expires in 100x \
    the amount of time it takes your session to expire

on "ensureAuthenticated":
    check for req.user
    if i don't have req.user but have my other cookie
        Fire my expiration event, which unsets the other cookie
    if i don't have req.user or my other cookie
        Send the user to the login page
    if i've got req.user
        Re-set my other cookie so that i update the expiration

Might not be 100% of what you're looking for, but should be close.

I have this attribute overridden and decorated it on each controller which does its job perfectly on all normal views. And I have this one of many cases where I need to update a certain partial view within a parent view. What happens here is that if the session "LoggedUserID" is expired, what it will do is it will only redirect that div container divSensorNames (where the partial view is) to the login page but leave the entire parrent page stuck where it was.
