Building Microservices API in Go - Refreshing an Access Token

This video tutorial covers the implementation of a refresh functionality for access tokens. It begins with an overview of the refresh token and access token validation process. The tutorial then delves into the coding of refresh token claims and access token claims, followed by setting up the repository and handling errors. The creation of a refresh endpoint and handling of requests is demonstrated, along with testing scenarios and differentiating errors. The video concludes with the final implementation and testing of various cases, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the refresh functionality.

What is the significance of the 'valid' status for an access token?

What are the potential errors that can occur during token validation?

How does the application handle expired tokens differently from invalid tokens?
