On that note: how would you go about using the token itself for every api call in other parts of the app? Right now I’m getting the JWT out of secure storage for every api call I make but I wonder if that’s efficient.

You can fetch once when the app starts and then have an InheritedWidget or Provider above all of your widgets provide the JWT without having to fetch it from local storage every time.

Right, thought about doing that as well. Wasn’t sure because of security but I guess in memory (ie provider) is alright while secure storage at rest.
