Apollo refresh auth token link. It tries to refresh the user access token on the fly when API throws out an UNAUTHENTICATED error. If multiple requests fail at the same time, it queues them to re-try them later if we are able to get a new access token, otherwise we log out the user and redirect him to the login page.

Hey please can you explain what is, or maybe to include those files/functions too: buildAuthHeader, getProvider.
I presume that utils/requests is fetch to auth server to get new access token or?? But I really can't tell what is globalProvider ..

buildAuthHeader is just a simple function I use to build the authorization header: https://github.com/AMGAVentures/saas-boilerplate/blob/develop/packages/app/src/utils/requests.js

getProvider is where I keep my global application state (user authentication/profile state..etc) check out more about it here: https://github.com/AMGAVentures/saas-boilerplate/blob/develop/packages/app/src/GlobalState.js.

You don't need them to make it works.. you can refactor/tweak those part as you need.

I've been struggling to get my refresh token logic to work for multiple failed request for a couple days now, and this finally solved it for me. Thank you for sharing this!
