Overview
Fresh Dio is a lightweight HTTP interceptor built on top of Dio that automates token refresh during API requests. It handles authentication tokens transparently, ensuring secure and uninterrupted access to protected endpoints. By intercepting requests and refreshing expired tokens seamlessly, it reduces boilerplate code and improves user experience. Ideal for apps requiring robust authentication workflows with minimal setup.
