Quidjs

A requests library for the Quid json web tokens server

This library transparently manage the requests to api servers. If a server returns a 401 Unauthorized response when an access token is expired the client library will request a new access token from a Quid server, using a refresh token, and will retry the request with the new access token

yarn add quidjs
# or
npm install quidjs

Usage

import { useQuidRequests } from "quidjs";

const quid = useQuidRequests({
  namespace: "my_namespace",
  quidUri: "https://localhost:8082", // quid server url
  serverUri: "https://localhost:8000", // url of your backend
  verbose: true,
});

// login the user
await quid.login("user", "pwd");

// use the quid instance to request json from the backend
// GET request
const response: Record<string,any> = await quid.get<Record<string,any>>("/api/get");
console.log("Backend GET response:", response)
// POST request
const payload = {"foo": "bar"};
const response2: Record<string,any> = await quid.post<Record<string,any>>("/api/post", payload);
console.log("Backend POST response:", response2)
