The Fauna Query Language function Tokens returns the set of all tokens that exist.

Description

The Tokens function provides access to the system collection that stores access tokens, created with the Login function. This is useful for:

Listing currently existing tokens
Creating tokens without credentials
Indexing tokens so that you can query tokens based on relationships with other documents.

If you have a reference to a specific token, acquired with Login, you can add custom fields to the token’s document using Update or Replace. Access tokens can be invalidated by calling Logout.

A token’s instance field contains a Reference to the associated identity document. See Tokens for details.

Examples

Create a token

The following query lists any existing tokens (up to the pagination limit) in the current database:

result, err := client.Query(
	f.Login(
		f.MatchTerm(f.Index("users_by_email"), "alice@site.example.com"),
		f.Obj{"password": "secret password"},
	))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}

client.query(
  q.Login(
    q.Match(q.Index('users_by_email'), 'alice@site.example.com'),
    { password: 'secret password' },
  )
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error(

You can also create a token directly, without knowing the credentials for an identity document:

result, err := client.Query(
	f.Create(
		f.Tokens(),
		f.Obj{"instance": f.Ref(f.Collection("users"), "1")},
	))

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}

When you create a token directly, you can also set its ttl (time to live):

result, err := client.Query(

		f.Tokens(),
		f.Obj{
			"instance": f.Ref(f.Collection("users"), "1"),
			"ttl": f.TimeAdd(f.Now(), 2, "days"),

The following query creates an index on the internal tokens collection, so that tokens associated with a specific service can be queried:

result, err := client.Query(

Modify a token

In the following query, we use an existing token’s reference to update the token with some metadata:

result, err := client.Query(
