Refresh Oauth token after certain time in Node API


The normal approach is to handle the 401 Unauthorized Error, that is used when the token is expired.

  let axiosRequest = async (options) => {    try {      await axios(options) // try to call    } catch (err) {      if (err.status === 401) { // token is expired        let accessToken = await getNewAccessToken(refreshToken) // call the refresh token endpoint to get a new access token        options.headers = {Authorization : `Bearer ${accessToken}`} // set the new access token to initial petition        return await axiosRequest(options) // call again with new token      }      throw err    }  }

A more elegant approach can be found using the axios native interceptors, but couldnt try it:https://gist.github.com/mkjiau/650013a99c341c9f23ca00ccb213db1c
