How to set token expiration as refreshData interval

[David SP]

First of all, thank you for this awesome auth package!

I did the following implementation for a based Laravel Passport API:

plugins/auth.js

import { createAuth } from '@websanova/vue-auth/src/v3'
import axios from '@/plugins/axios'
import router from '@/router'
import passportDriver from '@/plugins/auth/drivers/passport'
import driverHttpAxios from '@websanova/vue-auth/src/drivers/http/axios.1.x'
import driverRouterVueRouter from '@websanova/vue-auth/src/drivers/router/vue-router.2.x'

export default (app) => {
  app.use(
    createAuth({
      plugins: {
        http: axios,
        router: router,
      },
      drivers: {
        http: driverHttpAxios,
        auth: passportDriver,
        router: driverRouterVueRouter,
      },
      options: {
        loginData: {
          url: '/v1/auth/login',
          method: 'POST',
          redirect: '/owners',
          fetchUser: true,
          staySignedIn: true,
        },
        logoutData: {
          url: '/v1/auth/logout',
          method: 'DELETE',
          redirect: '/',
          makeRequest: true,
        },
        fetchData: { url: '/v1/user/profile', method: 'GET', enabled: true },
        refreshData: {
          url: '/v1/auth/refresh',
          method: 'POST',
          enabled: true,
          interval: 60,
        },
        rolesKey: 'roles',
        tokenDefaultKey: 'access_token',
        refreshTokenKey: 'refresh_token',
        tokenExpiresKey: 'expires_in',
      },
    })
  )
}

login response

{
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "expires_in": 2592000,
    "access_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI.........",
    "refresh_token": "def502001ba0735c080bd9943fff4763........."
}

plugins/auth/drivers/passport.js

export default {
  request: function (req, token) {
    // If refresh, add refresh_token to request data
    if (req.url === this.options.refreshData.url) {
      req.data = { refresh_token: this.token(this.options.refreshTokenKey) }
    }

    this.drivers.http.setHeaders.call(this, req, {
      Authorization: 'Bearer ' + token,
    })
  },

  response: function (res) {
    const resData = res.data || {}

    // Store refresh_token if present
    this.token(
      this.options.refreshTokenKey,
      resData[this.options.refreshTokenKey]
    )

    // Return access_token (auto stored)
    return resData[this.options.tokenDefaultKey]
  },
}

The question is, how can I set refreshData interval value depending on login response expires_in value?
With this approach auth package will refresh token automatically based on token "true" expiration time.

Thank you in advance!

In this case you would need to disable refresh and do it manually.

So in your options setup set the enabled flag in refreshData to false.

        refreshData: {
          url: '/v1/auth/refresh',
          method: 'POST',
          enabled: false,
          interval: 60,
        },

Then on login just put your own timer

setInterval(function () {
    this.$auth.refresh();
}, 3000);

Where 3000 is whatever value you want of course.
