Seeing the problem here? your jwt is leaking now to another services. One thing that i have to mention is that ALL requests that your users make with axios will now leave the browser with that header, that can be a problem if you call another service on another host that doesnt need that header. now every time your token changes you'll have axios aware of that and using that header fieldĬonlusion and toughs on setting authorization as a default header for axios.Īxios documentation is pretty complete you should look at that to give you more insights on the capabilities.
