How do I implement refresh tokens in my React Native app?

To implement refresh tokens in React Native, you need to set up your authentication flow to include both access and refresh tokens.

What is the purpose of a refresh token?

A refresh token is used to obtain a new access token without requiring the user to log in again, enhancing security.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! You can use libraries like Axios to handle token refresh. Here's a basic example:

const refreshAccessToken = async () => {
  const response = await axios.post('/refresh-token', { token: refreshToken });
  setAccessToken(response.data.accessToken);
};

What happens if the refresh token expires?

If the refresh token expires, the user will need to log in again to obtain a new access token and refresh token.
