Overview
Fresh Http is a Flutter/Dart package that provides an auto-refreshing HTTP client built on top of the `http` package. It automatically handles authentication token refreshes, ensuring seamless API calls without manual token management. Ideal for apps requiring secure, persistent access to authenticated APIs, it reduces boilerplate and improves reliability by transparently refreshing expired tokens. The client integrates smoothly with existing HTTP workflows and supports all major platforms including web, mobile, and desktop.
