Custom header

The headers option can be customized in config when using withTRPC in nextjs or createClient in react.js.

headers can be both an object or a function. If it's a function it will gets called dynamically every http request.

_app.tsx
ts
import { AppType } from "next/dist/shared/lib/utils";
import { withTRPC } from "@trpc/next";
import type { AppRouter } from "@/server/routers/app";
export let token: string;
const MyApp: AppType = ({ Component, pageProps }) => {
  return <Component {...pageProps} />;
};
export default withTRPC<AppRouter>({
  config({ ctx }) {
    return {
      links: [
        httpBatchLink({
          /** headers are called on every request */
          headers: () => {
            return {
              Authorization: token,
            };
          },
        }),
      ],
    };
  },
})(MyApp)

_app.tsx
ts
import { AppType } from "next/dist/shared/lib/utils";
import { withTRPC } from "@trpc/next";
import type { AppRouter } from "@/server/routers/app";
export let token: string;
const MyApp: AppType = ({ Component, pageProps }) => {
  return <Component {...pageProps} />;
};
export default withTRPC<AppRouter>({
  config({ ctx }) {
    return {
      links: [
        httpBatchLink({
          /** headers are called on every request */
          headers: () => {
            return {
              Authorization: token,
            };
          },
        }),
      ],
    };
  },
})(MyApp)

Example with auth login

pages/auth.tsx
ts
const loginMut = trpc.useMutation(['auth.login'], {
  onSuccess({ accessToken }) {
    token = accessToken;
  },
});

pages/auth.tsx
ts
const loginMut = trpc.useMutation(['auth.login'], {
  onSuccess({ accessToken }) {
    token = accessToken;
  },
});

The token can be whatever you want it to be. It's entirely up to you whether that's just a client-side variable that you update the value of on success or whether you store the token and pull it from local storage.
