Axios response interceptor for access token refresh supporting 1 to N async requests

axios-response-interceptor.js

let isAlreadyFetchingAccessToken = false
let subscribers = []

function onAccessTokenFetched(access_token) {
  subscribers = subscribers.filter(callback => callback(access_token))
}

function addSubscriber(callback) {
  subscribers.push(callback)
}

axios.interceptors.response.use(function (response) {
  return response
}, function (error) {
  const { config, response } = error
  const originalRequest = config

  if (response && response.status === 401) {
    if (!isAlreadyFetchingAccessToken) {
      isAlreadyFetchingAccessToken = true
      store.dispatch(fetchAccessToken()).then((access_token) => {
        isAlreadyFetchingAccessToken = false
        onAccessTokenFetched(access_token)
      })
    }

    const retryOriginalRequest = new Promise((resolve) => {
      addSubscriber(access_token => {
        originalRequest.headers.Authorization = 'Bearer ' + access_token
        resolve(axios(originalRequest))
      })
    })
    return retryOriginalRequest
  }
  return Promise.reject(error)
})

const { config, response: { status } } = error

causes error when there is no response

add check for response

const { config, response } = error
const originalRequest = config
if (response && response.status === 401) {

const { config, response: { status } } = error

causes error when there is no response

add check for response

const { config, response } = error
const originalRequest = config
if (response && response.status === 401) {

Thanks! Gist updated

First: Thanks a lot for this fantastic gist! Using it now for 2.5 years as a perfect solution for my VueJS 2 application, I ran into problems now when I upgraded Axios from 0.27.2 to the current version 1.1.3. As I am not a very experienced JavaScript programmer I cannot really say what goes wrong. But from what I can see, something goes wrong with the subscriber-list: Original requests are not executed anymore. Do you have any idea how to solve this? Or maybe you can try it with the newest Axios? Thnx a lot!
