JWT Auth + Refresh Tokens in Rails

This is just some code I recently used in my development application in order to add token-based authentication for my api-only rails app. The api-client was to be consumed by a mobile application, so I needed an authentication solution that would keep the user logged in indefinetly and the only way to do this was either using refresh tokens or sliding sessions.

I also needed a way to both blacklist and whitelist tokens based on a unique identifier (jti)

Before trying it out DIY, I considered using:

Godofbrowser

// for multiple requests
let isRefreshing = false;
let failedQueue = [];

const processQueue = (error, token = null) => {
  failedQueue.forEach(prom => {
    if (error) {
      prom.reject(error);
    } else {
      prom.resolve(token);

function fetchPage (url, success) {
  const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
  xhr.open('GET', url)
  xhr.setRequestHeader('VND.PREFETCH', 'true')
  xhr.setRequestHeader('Accept', 'text/html')
  xhr.onreadystatechange = () => {
