Please do not store secrets in the local storage. They'd be accessible by any third party script loaded to your website, and one cross-site scripting attack away from leaking.

Definitely avoid storing your token in LocalStorage. Using a HttpOnly cookie might better serve you.

I don't know the full context of your token needs but I would usually recommend using a JWT for granting access to an API. For most use cases they are a simple but effective solution.

Interesting project! I'm looking for an article about the essence of the warehouse inventory management systems, features to include, values for businesses, and implementation steps. Something like this post about warehouse inventory software. Any advice?

Hello, Desmond can you explain the two round trip u mentioned...How is that happening?

I mentioned two round trips in the case where the JWT would have to be fetched from the server upon every request and if the refresh token is also expired then that's an extra delay to get a fresh one.
