Auto generate an access_token when expired in python or django itself

Question

How can one auto regenerate a refresh_token within a django admin app, am using simple jwt package, but I want to track if the token has expired then I send a request to auto generate a new acces_token , when the session is still on.

Yes I know this can be achieved on the frontend, forexample like in javascript we can use axios interceptors, to auto get another access_token , so how can one do this in django it's self.

Answer 1

You could write a simple middleware that checks if the JWT is valid and if not, can regenerated one. See the middleware docs here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/topics/http/middleware/
