Why CheckAuth triggers twice?
Hello everyone,
I am trying to implement JWT authentication with expiration checking and refreshing using authProvider.
I decided to put logic of JWT checking and refreshing inside CheckAuth method, but faced up the fact this method triggers twice during ordinary getlist request. So in case if refreshing is needed it leads to multiple refresh requests.
Here is my code

Hey @Mustdie Could it be related to react strict mode?

Hey @Mustdie ,
In my opinion, checkAuth is not a suitable place for refresh token (although our documentation says otherwise) because it can be called multiple times. My advice to you is to use this package for axios: https://www.npmjs.com/package/axios-auth-refresh
Hopefully this will be helpful for you. 🎯
npm

ty, i'll try it
Looking closer, seems like axios interceptor is not a best place for token refresh too. In case if we making requests to different resources at the same time (useList and getUserIdentity for example) it leads to multiple refresh token requests.

Hello @Mustdie, you can pass axios instance to dataprovider with interceptor, then dataprovider will use the same instance for queries, then it shouldn't be a problem, once token is refreshed, other requests will use new token instantly
