Accessing bearer token from axios - vue.js

Question

What code can I use to access a bearer token that's been stored in localStorage?
const apiClient = axios.create({
baseURL: 'http://localhost:5000/api/v1',
withCredentials: false,
headers: {
Accept: 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'.
Authorization: ???
}
});
I'm having trouble sending auth headers using a axios Service. When I hardcode the existing bearer token it works, but how can I dynamically access that for each user as it changes?

Answer 1

This is what worked! Thanks to DigitalDrifter for showing me the getItem function in localStorage.
I've been storing the bearer token in 'user' state, so I retrieved the object, parsed it, then inserted it into the Authorization header.
const user = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('user'));
const token = user.token;
const apiClient = axios.create({
baseURL: 'http://localhost:5000/api/v1',
withCredentials: false,
headers: {
Accept: 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`
}
});

A request interceptor can be used to set the Authorization header prior to each outgoing request.
// Add a request interceptor
axios.interceptors.request.use(function (config) {
let token = localStorage.getItem('bearer_token')
if (token) {
config.headers.Authorization = `Bearer ${token}`
}
return config;
}, function (error) {
// Do something with request error
return Promise.reject(error);
});
