I use Larave+JWT and vue2 + vuex2 + axios

So when user logins I store auth token in vuex store. When the token expires I need to refresh it. In order to refresh it I need to send the same token to /refresh route, and get a new token. At least that's how I got it and actually it works.

The problem is that interceptor catches 401 responses and tries to refresh token, but what if, say, in my component I send many requests with expired token? Since ajax requests are async, the interceptor code runs many times. So I got many refresh requests. Once the initial token is refreshed it is not considered valid. When interceptor tries to refresh invalid token server responds with error and I redirect to login page.

Here is the code:

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

  if (error.response.status === 401 && !originalRequest._retry) {
    originalRequest._retry = true

    axios.post('auth/refresh').then((response) => {
      let token = response.data.token

      store.dispatch('auth/setAuthToken', token)

      let authorizationHeader = `Bearer ${token}`

      axios.defaults.headers = { 'Authorization': authorizationHeader }
      originalRequest.headers['Authorization'] = authorizationHeader

      return axios(originalRequest)
    }, (error) => {
      store.dispatch('auth/clearAuthInfo')
      router.push({ name: 'login' })
    })
  }

  return Promise.reject(error);
});
