do you query the localstore everytime to get the token before making api calls ?
Is it good practise to pick up token from localstoreage for every api call ?
Context: im working with a very old legacy codebase which usses oidc client with react. There is no auth cookies, jwt token is stored directly into local storage.
The issue: if the token expires lets say in 2 min. Oidc client makes calls to auth server for token renewal. And stores this token in the local store. But this change is not picked up the axios instance. It keeps using the old token.
The cause: the token is set to the instance on load when the app first loads ina. Use effect and then never updated again. My friend tells me it shoukd be fine to query the local store for each request. But doesnt seem right. Is this how its done ?
