✨ Why Axios Interceptor Plus?
🎯 Unlimited Service Creation
Create as many API services as you need without any restrictions. Perfect for microservices architecture and complex applications.
🔧 Highly Configurable
Every aspect of your API client can be customized - from authentication to retry logic, error handling to logging.
🛡️ Production Ready
Built-in authentication with token refresh, intelligent retry mechanisms, comprehensive error handling, and detailed logging.
📦 Minimal Dependencies
Only depends on axios, keeping your bundle size minimal and your dependencies clean.
🎨 TypeScript First
Full type safety with comprehensive interfaces and IntelliSense support.
