Get `access_token` outside React

Issue

I would like to have the access_token available outside React too. Is there a reliable mechanism for that?

My use case

I have a fetch wrapper that is defined outside React and is being used across the codebase outside React’s scope. The wrapper requires the access_token. I could read that from the store (sessionStorage or localStorage) but I would prefer if the library naturally supported that. In addition, I use the same token for my Websocket authentication. So it’s not only about fetch.

Note

I know that the worker automatically injects the token, but I’m targeting old browsers too where Service Worker isn’t available.

hi @DavidErben,

Unfortunately i do not have solution 😦

ServiceWorker mode is not usable with WebSocket at all for now. I hope ServiceWorker will evolve in the future to catch WebSocket stream.

Hi @amir-ziaei,

Thank you for the feedback. It seems it is not possible for the moment. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37741185/is-it-possible-to-intercept-and-cache-websocket-messages-in-a-service-worker-lik I will continue to search. I really would like to see wesocket working with the service worker mode.
