I need to implement an axios interceptor that will add the idToken as an authorization header to every axios call, and also refresh the idToken if it has expired before making any call.
My current code for this task is as follows:
axios.interceptors.request.use(function(config) {
var idToken = getIdToken()
var refreshToken = {
"refreshToken" : getRefreshToken()
}
if(isTokenExpired(idToken)){
console.log("==============Reloading")
refresh(refreshToken).then(response=>{
setIdToken(response.idToken)
setAccessToken(response.accessToken)
})
idToken = getIdToken()
config.headers.Authorization = `${idToken}`;
}
else{
config.headers.Authorization = `${idToken}`;
}
return config;
}, function(err) {
return Promise.reject(err);
});
This implementation works well when the idToken is valid. However, when the idToken expires, it causes an infinite loop leading to page hang. The refresh() function, used to call the API for refreshing looks like this:
function refresh(refreshToken) {
const url = `${BASE_URL}/user/refresh`;
return axios.post(url,JSON.stringify(refreshToken))
.then(response =>response.data.data)
.catch(e => {
console.log(e);
});
}
