How to refresh token in axios?

My question is related to customAxios.interceptors.response.use . My purpose here is; if the token expired and I got a 401 error, make a request again where I got a 401 error and write the new token to the headers. On the other hand, if I get an error except for the 401 error, show me the error.response.data . Do you think this logic is set up correctly? I tried to test but I wasn't sure especially 401 error cases
import axios from "axios";
import { LoginAPI } from "../playwright/tests/login/login.api";
import { test } from "#playwright/test"
import {configEnv} from "../config/config"
test.beforeAll(async () => {
await LoginAPI.API.Signin.run()
});
const customAxios = axios.create({
baseURL: configEnv.apiBaseURL
});
customAxios.interceptors.request.use(
async (config) => {
if (config.headers) {
config.headers['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${LoginAPI.States.token}`;
return config;
}
return config;
},
(error) => {
Promise.reject(error);
}
);
customAxios.interceptors.response.use(
function(response) {
return response;
},
async function(error) {
if (401 === error.response.status) {
await LoginAPI.API.Signin.run()
customAxios.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${LoginAPI.States.token}`
} else {
return Promise.reject(error.response.data);
}
}
);
export default customAxios

I would recommend you to store your token in a localStorage and then replace it after refresh. This way you can set a token in your API class in one place.
import axios from "axios";
export const ApiClient = () => {
// Create a new axios instance
const api = axios.create({
baseURL: "URL",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
Accept: "application/json",
},
});
// Add a request interceptor to add the JWT token to the authorization header
api.interceptors.request.use(
(config) => {
const token = sessionStorage.getItem("jwtToken");
if (token) {
config.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${token}`;
}
return config;
},
(error) => Promise.reject(error)
);
// Add a response interceptor to refresh the JWT token if it's expired
api.interceptors.response.use(
(response) => response,
(error) => {
const originalRequest = error.config;
// If the error is a 401 and we have a refresh token, refresh the JWT token
if (
error.response.status === 401 &&
sessionStorage.getItem("refreshToken")
) {
const refreshToken = sessionStorage.getItem("refreshToken");
let data = JSON.stringify({
refresh_token: refreshToken,
});
post("/refreshToken", data)
.then((response) => {
sessionStorage.setItem("jwtToken", response.token);
sessionStorage.setItem("refreshToken", response.refresh_token);
// Re-run the original request that was intercepted
originalRequest.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${response.token}`;
api(originalRequest)
.then((response) => {
return response.data;
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error);
});
// return api(originalRequest)
})
.catch((err) => {
// If there is an error refreshing the token, log out the user
console.log(err);
});
}
// Return the original error if we can't handle it
return Promise.reject(error);
}
);
const login = (email, password) => {
return api
.post("/authentication_token", { email, password })
.then(({ data }) => {
// Store the JWT and refresh tokens in session storage
sessionStorage.setItem("jwtToken", data.token);
sessionStorage.setItem("refreshToken", data.refresh_token);
})
.catch((err) => {
// Return the error if the request fails
return err;
});
};
const get = (path) => {
return api.get(path).then((response) => response.data);
};
const post = (path, data) => {
return api.post(path, data).then((response) => response.data);
};
const put = (path, data) => {
return api.put(path, data).then((response) => response.data);
};
const del = (path) => {
return api.delete(path).then((response) => response);
};
return {
login,
get,
post,
put,
del,
};
};

Axios request returns 401 despite having an authorization header

I'm trying to patch data to a django API using axios using this snippet:
nextQuestion = () => {
if (this.state.currentIndex === 0) return;
const token = this.props.token;
const configs = {
headers: {
Authorization: `Token ${token}`,
},
data: {
quiztaker: this.state.data[0].quiz.quiztakers_set.id,
question: this.state.data[0].quiz.question_set[this.state.currentIndex]
.id,
answer: Number(this.state.answer),
},
};
console.log(configs);
axios
.patch("/api/save-answer/", configs)
.then((response) => {
console.log(response);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error);
});
this.setState({
currentIndex: this.state.currentIndex - 1
});
};
I have confirmed that the token does indeed exist and that it is authorised to access and make changes to that endpoint through insomnia. Did i do anything wrong with how i set up axios? or is there something else i'm not getting? Apologies if it's an obvious mistake, still quite new to react.

With axios.patch() it should be executed axios.patch(url, data, config)....
const data = {
"quiztaker": this.state.data[0].quiz.quiztakers_set.id,
"question": this.state.data[0].quiz.question_set[this.state.currentIndex].id,
"answer": Number(this.state.answer),
};
const token = this.props.token;
const configs = {
"headers": {
"Authorization": `Token ${token}`,
},
};
axios
.patch("/api/save-answer/", data, configs)
.then((response) => {
console.log(response);
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error);
});

nested axios call with await in vue js

i am new to async and i have an action in vuex that get user's info and i put that in promise and i want to use this method in then block of axios call for login with await because data of user info is important for me
my problem is i cant use await in then block and error says the error says await can only be use in async function
this flow is correct and what is correct way?
store.js:
actions: {
loadUserInfo({commit}){
const headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
// 'Authorization': localStorage.getItem('access_token'),
'Accept': 'application/json'
}
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
axios.get(process.env.VUE_APP_BASE_URL + process.env.VUE_APP_EDIT_INFO,{headers: headers})
.then(response => {
commit('authenticateUser');
commit('setUserInfo', response.data.result);
resolve();
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error);
reject();
})
});
}
},
Login.vue:
async login () {
let self = this;
axios.post(process.env.VUE_APP_BASE_URL + process.env.VUE_APP_LOGIN,
this.loginInfo
).
then(function (response) {
await this.$store.dispatch('loadUserInfo').then((res)=>{
this.$emit('authenticateUser', true);
this.$emit('registeredIdentification', self.$store.getters.getUsername)
this.$router.push({ name: 'mainBox' })
});
localStorage.setItem('access_token', response.data.result.access_token)
localStorage.setItem('refresh_token', response.data.result.refresh_token)
})
.catch(function (error) {
// let statusCode = error.response.status;
console.log(error);
});
}

try moving the async declaration so it is "inside" the then:
async login () {
...
.then(async function (response) {
await this.$store.dispatch('loadUserInfo').then((res)=>{
...
}
Using then with async/await may be unnecessary:
async login() {
try {
const loginUrl = process.env.VUE_APP_BASE_URL + process.env.VUE_APP_LOGIN;
const { data } = await axios.post(loginUrl, this.loginInfo)
const { access_token: accessToken, refresh_token: refreshToken } = data.result;
await this.$store.dispatch('loadUserInfo');
this.$emit('authenticateUser', true);
this.$emit('registeredIdentification', this.$store.getters.getUsername)
this.$router.push({ name: 'mainBox' })
localStorage.setItem('access_token', accessToken)
localStorage.setItem('refresh_token', refreshToken)
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}

Axios multiple request on interceptor

I'm using the library axios in my react app.
I'm having a problem with the interceptor.
My question is let say I have three requests happening concurrently and I don't have the token, the interceptor calling the getUserRandomToken three time, I want the interceptor will wait until I'm getting the token from the first request and then continue to the others.
P.S. the token he is with an expiration date so I also checking for it and if the expiration date is not valid I need to create a new token.
This is the interceptor:
axios.interceptors.request.use(
config => {
/*I'm getting the token from the local storage
If there is any add it to the header for each request*/
if (tokenExist()) {
config.headers.common["token"] = "...";
return config;
}
/*If there is no token i need to generate it
every time create a random token, this is a axios get request*/
getUserRandomToken()
.then(res => {
/*add the token to the header*/
config.headers.common["token"] = res;
return config;
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
},
function(error) {
// Do something with request error
return Promise.reject(error);
}
);

How about singleton object that will handle the token generations? something similar to this:
const tokenGenerator ={
getTokenPromise: null,
token: null,
getToken(){
if (!this.getTokenPromise){
this.getTokenPromise = new Promise(resolve=>{
/*supposed to be a http request*/
if (!this.token){
setTimeout(()=>{
this.token = 'generated';
resolve(this.token);
},0)
}else{
resolve(this.token);
}
})
}
return this.getTokenPromise;
}
you can reference this same object from the interceptors.
see example: JS FIddle
reference: reference

You can return a Promise from interceptor callback to "wait" until promise fullfiles (this will fit your case). Check out this example:
function axiosCall () {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
Axios.post(URL, {apiKey}).then((response) => {
resolve(response.data.message);
}).catch((error) => {
reject(error);
});
});
}
instance.interceptors.request.use((config) => {
return axiosCall().then((tokenResponse) => {
setWebCreds(tokenResponse);
config.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${tokenResponse}`;
return Promise.resolve(config)
}).catch(error => {
// decide what to do if you can't get your token
})
}, (error) => {
return Promise.reject(error);
});

Following code doing certain tasks:
Update Token on 401
Make a queue of failed requests while the token is refreshing.
Restore the original request after token refreshing.
Once the peculiar request is given 200, remove it from the queue.

Async/Await in fetch() how to handle errors

I have stripe async code in my React app, and trying to add error handling in my code but have no idea how to handle it. i know how to do it with .then() but async/await is new to me
EDITED
added .catch() i got errors in network tab in response tab.
but i can log it to console?
submit = async () => {
const { email, price, name, phone, city, street, country } = this.state;
let { token } = await this.props.stripe
.createToken({
name,
address_city: city,
address_line1: street,
address_country: country
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err.response.data);
});
const data = {
token: token.id,
email,
price,
name,
phone,
city,
street,
country
};
let response = await fetch("/charge/pay", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify(data)
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err.response.data);
});
console.log(response);
if (response.ok)
this.setState({
complete: true
});
};
thanks

Fetch detects only network errors. Other errors (401, 400, 500) should be manually caught and rejected.
await fetch("/charge/pay", headers).then((response) => {
if (response.status >= 400 && response.status < 600) {
throw new Error("Bad response from server");
}
return response;
}).then((returnedResponse) => {
// Your response to manipulate
this.setState({
complete: true
});
}).catch((error) => {
// Your error is here!
console.log(error)
});
If you are not comfortable with this limitation of fetch, try using axios.

var handleError = function (err) {
console.warn(err);
return new Response(JSON.stringify({
code: 400,
message: 'Stupid network Error'
}));
};
var getPost = async function () {
// Get the post data
var post = await (fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/5').catch(handleError));
// Get the author
var response = await (fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/' + post.userId).catch(handleError));
if (response.ok) {
return response.json();
} else {
return Promise.reject(response);
}
};

You can either use try/catch just like normal, imperative programming:
try {
let response = await fetch("/charge/pay", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify(data)
});
} catch(error) {
// Error handling here!
}
Or you can mix-and-match .catch() just like you do with promises:
let response = await fetch("/charge/pay", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify(data)
}).catch(function(error) {
// Error handling here!
});

Wrap your await with try catch.
try {
let response = await fetch("/charge/pay", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify(data)
});
console.log(response);
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}

This works if server returns { message: "some error" } but I'm trying to get it to support res.statusText too:
const path = '/api/1/users/me';
const opts = {};
const headers = {};
const body = JSON.stringify({});
const token = localStorage.getItem('token');
if (token) {
headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${token}`;
}
try {
const res = await fetch(path, {
method: opts.method || 'GET',
body,
headers
});
if (res.ok) {
return await (opts.raw ? res.text() : res.json());
}
const err = await res.json();
throw new Error(err.message || err.statusText);
} catch (err) {
throw new Error(err);
}

async function loginWithRedirect(payload: {
username: string;
password: string;
}) {
const resp = await (await fetch(`${env.API_URL}/api/auth/login`, {
method: "POST",
headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json"},
body: JSON.stringify(payload),
credentials: "include",
})).json();
if (resp.error) {
dispatch({type: "ERROR", payload: resp.error.message});
} else {
dispatch({type: "LOGIN", payload: resp});
}
}

If response.ok is false you can throw an error then chain catch method after calling your function as follows
async function fetchData(){
const response = await fetch("/charge/pay", {
method: "POST",
headers: {
"Content-Type": "application/json"
},
body: JSON.stringify(data)
});
if(!response.ok){
const message = `An error occured: ${response.status}`;
throw new Error(message);
}
const data = await response.json();
return data;
}
fetchData()
.catch(err => console.log(err.message));

I write promise function for using fetch in async await.
const promisyFetch = (url, options) =>
new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
fetch(url, options)
.then((response) => response.text())
.then((result) => resolve(result))
.catch((error) => reject(error));
});
By the way i can use it easly in async with try catch
const foo = async()=>{
try {
const result = await promisyFetch('url' requestOptions)
console.log(result)
} catch (error) {
console.log(error)
}
}
It was simple example, you could customize promisyFetch function and request options as you wish.

const data = {
token: token.id,
email,
price,
name,
phone,
city,
street,
country
};
axios
.post("/charge/pay", data)
.then(res => {
console.log(res);
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err.response.data);
});
