How do I set up authentication with Axios?

To set up authentication with Axios, you typically need to include an authorization token in your requests. Do you have a specific authentication method in mind?

I'm using JWT for authentication. How do I include the token in my requests?

You can include the JWT token in the headers of your Axios requests like this: axios.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = 'Bearer ' + token;. Make sure to replace token with your actual JWT.

What if the token expires? How can I handle that?

You can intercept requests using Axios interceptors. Check for a 401 response and then refresh the token or redirect the user to the login page.

Can you show me an example of using interceptors?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

axios.interceptors.response.use(response => {
    return response;
}, error => {
    if (error.response.status === 401) {
        // Handle token refresh or redirect
    }
    return Promise.reject(error);
});
