I am working on protecting my API by passing the access token in the headers of the API calls and have a few questions to make sure I'm doing this properly using the React SDK.
I am using
openapi-fetch package to call my API and their docs give an example on adding middleware to pass the access token in each request (here). I am using the getRawToken, isAuthenticated, refreshToken utility functions provided in the @kinde-oss/kinde-auth-react/utils import to do this in my API client ts file similar to what is shown in the openapi-fetch docs I linked.1. In the Kinde docs it states that if you use the
getToken function it will automatically refresh the token if it is about to expire. But, when looking at the code I do not see how it would be doing this. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place or not understanding something correctly (I'm no expert ). I have not been auto logged out or anything yet, so I assume it is refreshing as stated in the docs, but I just wanted to confirm.2. Does the
getRawToken utility function also auto refresh the token or does it need to be manually refreshed in these cases?Thanks!
