Dealing With Expired JWT Token
I usually get jwt token that expired in 24 hours, but this time I get only 5 minutes jwt life. The api gave me refresh token that will last for 7 days. So I have to think how to handle this in my react app. There is no way that user has to relogin every 5 minutes right?
So I come up with this idea : I will check the token expiration date before hit API. If the token already expired, I will refresh it first and use the new token to get the next service.
NOTE : check out how I build the reusable api helper here.
Axios Middleware
Axios has middleware to deal with before request and after get response called interceptors. So I use this request interceptor to check and refresh my token.
Once again, you have your own way to refresh your token right?
No? Okay. Here a simple example how you can refresh your token. Please adjust it to your need.
Happy coding.
