Hi @amvdxc. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To use a session token as an authorization header when creating a new GraphQL client in a refine application, you can follow the approach demonstrated in the provided knowledge sources. Here is an example of how you can achieve this: 1. Import the necessary modules: - Import graphqlDataProvider and GraphQLClient from the appropriate refine package. 2. Create a custom fetch function: - This function will append the session token to the authorization headers of each request. 3. Create the GraphQL client: - Pass the custom fetch function to the client options. 4. Create the data provider: - Use the custom GraphQL client to create the data provider. Here is a code example based on the provided knowledge sources:

import graphqlDataProvider, { GraphQLClient } from "@refinedev/graphql";  

const client = new GraphQLClient(API_URL, {  
  fetch: (url: string, options: RequestInit) => {  
    return fetch(url, {  
      ...options,  
      headers: {  
        ...options.headers,  
        /**  
         * For demo purposes, we're using `localStorage` to access the session token.  
         * You can use your own authentication logic here.  
         * In real world applications, you'll need to handle it in sync with your `authProvider`.  
         */  
        Authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem("session_token")}`,  
      },  
    });  
  },  
});  

/**  
 * Create the data provider with the custom client.  
 */  
const dataProvider = graphqlDataProvider(client);

import graphqlDataProvider, { GraphQLClient } from "@refinedev/graphql";  

const client = new GraphQLClient(API_URL, {  
  fetch: (url: string, options: RequestInit) => {  
    return fetch(url, {  
      ...options,  
      headers: {  
        ...options.headers,  
        /**  
         * For demo purposes, we're using `localStorage` to access the session token.  
         * You can use your own authentication logic here.  
         * In real world applications, you'll need to handle it in sync with your `authProvider`.  
         */  
        Authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem("session_token")}`,  
      },  
    });  
  },  
});  

/**  
 * Create the data provider with the custom client.  
 */  
const dataProvider = graphqlDataProvider(client);

In this example: - The fetch function is customized to include the Authorization header with the session token retrieved from localStorage. - The GraphQLClient is instantiated with this custom fetch function. - Finally, the dataProvider is created using the custom GraphQLClient. For more details, you can refer to the GraphQL Authentication documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/packages/graphql/#authentication). If you need to handle WebSocket connections as well, you can refer to the Nest.js Query Authentication documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/data/packages/nestjs-query/#authentication) for additional setup.

import graphqlDataProvider, {  
  GraphQLClient,  
  liveProvider as graphqlLiveProvider,  
} from "@refinedev/nestjs-query";  
import { createClient } from "graphql-ws";  

const client = new GraphQLClient(API_URL, {  
  fetch: (url: string, options: RequestInit) => {  
    return fetch(url, {  
      ...options,  
      headers: {  
        ...options.headers,  
        Authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem("session_token")}`,  
      },  
    });  
  },  
});  

const wsClient = createClient({  
  url: WS_URL,  
  connectionParams: () => ({  
    headers: {  
      Authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem("session_token")}`,  
    },  
  }),  
});  

export const dataProvider = graphqlDataProvider(client);  
export const liveProvider = graphqlLiveProvider(wsClient);

import graphqlDataProvider, {  
  GraphQLClient,  
  liveProvider as graphqlLiveProvider,  
} from "@refinedev/nestjs-query";  
import { createClient } from "graphql-ws";  

const client = new GraphQLClient(API_URL, {  
  fetch: (url: string, options: RequestInit) => {  
    return fetch(url, {  
      ...options,  
      headers: {  
        ...options.headers,  
        Authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem("session_token")}`,  
      },  
    });  
  },  
});  

const wsClient = createClient({  
  url: WS_URL,  
  connectionParams: () => ({  
    headers: {  
      Authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.getItem("session_token")}`,  
    },  
  }),  
});  

export const dataProvider = graphqlDataProvider(client);  
export const liveProvider = graphqlLiveProvider(wsClient);

This example includes both HTTP and WebSocket clients with session token authentication. By following these steps, you can effectively use a session token as an authorization header when creating a new GraphQL client in your refine application. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
