Problem using axios-auth-refresh with react-query

[Arsh1a]

So if the Function that calls the refresh authorization fails, React-query isLoading will always be true.

Here is my code:

import axios from "axios";
import createAuthRefreshInterceptor from "axios-auth-refresh";

const axiosInstance = axios.create({
  baseURL: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URI,
  withCredentials: true,
});

createAuthRefreshInterceptor(axiosInstance, (failedRequest) =>
  axiosInstance.get("/auth/access-token").then((res) => {
    return Promise.resolve();
  })
);

export const getData = async (url: string, withCredentials?: boolean) => {
  return await axiosInstance.get(process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URI + url);
};``

And this is how i use it using react-query

const { data: userData, isLoading,isError } = useQuery({
    queryKey: ["auth"],
    queryFn: () => getData("/users/me", true),
});

If I console log isLoading, it will be always true even tho isError is true, so the ```isLoading`` `should be false.

react-query has their own way of getting a 401 refresh token - use that.

For people that are running into this problem nowadays, there is a straight forward solution.

1. The refresh callback needs to call Promise.reject(failedRequest) in order for react query to get this.
2. This seems simple enough - add a catch to our refresh call in axios. If we hit the catch (refresh failed), then we reject the original failedRequest
3. createAuthRefreshInterceptor 'catches' the subsequent failed request.

You'll want two axios clients. One that is wrapped in the createAuthRefreshInterceptor, and one that is not. Here is what we're using in our project.

export class AxiosHttpRequestWithRetry extends BaseHttpRequest {
  private refreshableAxiosInstance = axios.create();
  private refresherAxiosInstance = axios.create();

  private refreshAuthLogic = (failedRequest: any) => {
    const refreshUrl = this.config.BASE + '/jwt/refresh/';
    const refreshToken = getRefreshToken();

    if (!refreshToken) {
      return Promise.reject(failedRequest);
    }

    const result = this.refresherAxiosInstance // Notice this is the unwrapped client.
      .post(refreshUrl, {
        refresh: refreshToken,
      })
      .then((tokenRefreshResponse) => {
        localStorage.setItem('access', tokenRefreshResponse.data.access);
        failedRequest.response.config.headers['Authorization'] =
          'Bearer ' + tokenRefreshResponse.data.access;
        return Promise.resolve();
      }).catch((error) => {
        localStorage.removeItem('access');
        localStorage.removeItem('refresh');

        queryClient.invalidateQueries(['user']); // You'll probably want to invalidate your query that fetches user info

        return Promise.reject(failedRequest); // This causes react query to enter the failed state
      });

    return result;
  };

  constructor(config: OpenAPIConfig) {
    super(config);
    createAuthRefreshInterceptor(this.refreshableAxiosInstance, this.refreshAuthLogic);
  }

  public override request<T>(options: ApiRequestOptions): CancelablePromise<T> {
    return __request(this.config, options, this.refreshableAxiosInstance);
  }
}
