Admin false LoggedIn false doesn't feel illegal to me, more redundant if anything

[–] shape_warrior_t@programming.dev 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (2 children)

I was thinking of the three legal states as:

  • not logged in (null or {isAdmin: false, isLoggedIn: false})
  • logged in as non-admin (false or {isAdmin: false, isLoggedIn: true})
  • logged in as admin (true or {isAdmin: true, isLoggedIn: true})

which leaves {isAdmin: true, isLoggedIn: false} as an invalid, nonsensical state. (How would you know the user's an admin if they're not logged in?) Of course, in a different context, all four states could potentially be distinctly meaningful.

Honestly logged in is state and shouldn't be on the user object.
