so, inside my api function, I am creating new token on every request - if it's the same request though, then it cancels the prev token/req, and re-generate the token and handling everything related to axios inside this function.
So, I will need to change it and basically create token inside useEffect.
Will you be able to redirect me to React docs/github/etc where they suggest this solution? Thank you
No, the token should be created in your useEffect call. A new token is created for every new "effect". cancel / abort is called whenever the effect re-fires (e.g. when the parameters changed, or when the component unmounts), the cleanup function is called, cancelling the previous request - in your API function you should check if a request has been aborted in your catch block and handle it accordingly.
