Sending Requests with Axios

With Interceptors

You can use axios as you regularly do using this method.

The makeSuper function: API Reference

SuperTokensRequest.makeSuper(axios);

• Adds interceptors to the given axios instance.
• To be called at least once on an axios instance before using it.

Example

import SuperTokensRequest from 'supertokens-react-native/axios';
import axios from "axios";
SuperTokensRequest.makeSuper(axios);

SuperTokensRequest.init("/refresh", 440);

async function doAPICalls() {
    try {
        let postData = { ... };
        let response = await axios({
            url: "someAPI", 
            method: "post", 
            data: postData,
            withCredentials: true 
        });
        let data = await response.data;
        let someField = data.someField;
    } catch (err) {
        if (err.response !== undefined && err.response.status === SESSION_EXPIRED_STATUS_CODE) {
            // show login screen
        } else {
            // handle error
        }
    }
}

Be sure to add withCredentials: true in the axios config call.

Without Interceptors

You need to replace all your axios calls as shown below.

The axios function: API Reference

SuperTokensRequest.axios("/someAPI", config);

• Used to send a request to your API endpoint
• Treat it like a regular axios call
• There are other functions to specifically call get, post, delete and put methods. They can be seen in the API reference page.

import SuperTokensRequest from 'supertokens-react-native/axios';

SuperTokensRequest.init("/refreshTokenURL", 440, false);

async function doAPICalls() {
    try {
        let postData = { ... };
        let response = await SuperTokensRequest.axios({
            url: "someAPI",
            method: "post",
            data: postData,
            withCredentials: true 
        });
        let data = await response.data;
        let someField = data.someField;
    } catch (err) {
        if (err.response !== undefined && err.response.status === SESSION_EXPIRED_STATUS_CODE) {
            // show login screen
        } else {
            // handle error
        }
    }
}

Be sure to add withCredentials: true in the axios config call.
