# Flyrell/axios-auth-refresh

Library that helps you implement automatic refresh of authorization via axios interceptors. You can easily intercept the original request when it fails, refresh the authorization and continue with the original request, without user even noticing.

## What it is
A TypeScript library that adds automatic authorization token refresh to Axios via interceptors. When a request fails with an authorization error, it runs your refresh logic, stalls concurrent requests, and replays them with the new token transparently.

## Use cases
- automatically refresh expired access tokens in axios
- retry failed 401 requests after token refresh
- queue requests while auth token is being refreshed
- handle silent session renewal in a frontend app
- attach axios interceptor for refresh token flow

## When to choose
- your app uses axios and needs seamless token refresh
- you want concurrent requests to wait for a single refresh call
- you need a small, typed, MIT-licensed auth helper

## When to avoid
- you don't use axios as your HTTP client
- you need full OAuth/session management rather than just refresh interception
- you use fetch or another non-axios request library

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: auth, middleware, http-client
- domain: web-development, security, apis
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: axios, token-refresh, interceptor, typescript, http, nodejs
