Refresh tokens automatically

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have a user access token and a refresh token to access the Twitter V2 API. At the moment I need to manually refresh those tokens in time when they expire, otherwise I get a 401 Unauthorized response.

Describe the solution you’d like Either expose an API that exposes functionality to automatically refresh the tokens when necessary or provide an interface so developers can write a plugin to do this.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered I could wrap every method call in a helper method to catch errors, refresh tokens and retry but that’s kinda ugly and feels like a hack.

I implemented a test plugin within this branch: https://github.com/PLhery/node-twitter-api-v2/blob/test/refresh-token-plugin-api/src/plugins/token.auto.refresh.plugin.ts

This come with some limitations, most of them comes to error stack trace that can be re-written.

This handles:

• Concurrency requests, only one request for refreshing token can be made at a time
• Recursive requests, if token is refreshed but the retry fail with 401 too, it will directly throw
• Storage of credentials+refreshToken within plugin
• Callback for token refreshing

But it isn’t perfect 🤷
