        notification: {
          text: "Livraison(s) en cours",
        },
        url: apiUrl,
        authorization: {
            strategy: "JWT",
            accessToken: accessToken->Option.getWithDefault(""),
            refreshToken: refreshToken->Option.getWithDefault(""),
            refreshUrl: `${env.urls.auth}/refreshToken`,
            refreshPayload: {
               refreshToken: "{refreshToken}"
            },
          },
          params: {
            "deliveriesIds": trackableDeliveryIds,
          },
      }
    )

Expected Behavior

When the plugin receives a 401 status code from the url configured with the "JWT" strategy, a refresh attempt is made with the other refresh fields configured.

Actual Behavior

The request is sent but how the plugin handle the new data ? The new token sent by the refreshToken API are stored by plugin for himself or should we (as developers) handle the storage through the onAuthorization event.

My authentication API returns a new token, my guess by reading the documentation is the plugin expect the authentication API to renew the same token validity is that right ?

Thanks for your help.

The request is sent but how the plugin handle the new data ?

The plugin analyzes the returned JSON response, performing regular-expressions upon the keys and automatically updates your Config.authorization using the discovered data in the response. You do not need to do anything in onAuthorization.

"access token": ^(access|auth) "refresh token": ^(refresh|renew)

Eg 1:

{
  "access_token": "<your token>",
  "refresh_token":"<your refresh token>"
}

Eg 2

{
  "accessToken": "<your token>",
  "refreshToken":"<your refresh token>"
}

Eg 2

{
  "auth_token": "<your token>",
  "renew_token":"<your refresh token>"
}

Thanks for the clarification. I tried to implement this and I have an odd Java error in the logs

Is it from the request initiated by the plugin reading some invalid data or the data response sent by the API ?

Thanks for your help.

Your refreshUrl is returning <html>, not JSON.
