Access token refresh about igdb-laravel

[marcreichel]

Thank you for your kind words, really appreciate it! 🙂

Normally, the token get's cached for the token lifetime (coming from Twitch) minus 60 seconds and if the cached token expired a new one is requested on the fly.

So generally speaking there should not be a case where the token for a request actually expires. The emphasis is on "should not" 😅.

I do not doubt you running into that issue. So there might exist such a case for whatever reason.

For the solution I could think of some sort of "retry mechanism". You've mentioned, you're catching the exception, deleting the cached token and wait for the next request. I would take it a step further and retry the current request for n times (if it failed because the token expired) until it succeeds. If all n requests fail, finally throw an exception.

But maybe you meant just that by "next request".

The n should be globally configurable for each request via the package config file, but be overwritable per request as well. Just like the cache_lifetime config + cache method.

Taking these "ideas" into account I'll be happy to accept your pull request 👍🏼🙂
