Hello! I have a concerned so how do you automatically refresh you AWS SDK session? I tried different things using .refresh(). and It seems its not automatically updating or even resetting my AWS.config.credentials? What am i doing wrong here?
my code below:

import * as AWS from 'aws-sdk'
const handleAWSCredentials = (config) => {
 AWS.config.region = config.region
 AWS.config.credentials = new AWS.CognitoIdentityCredentials({
   IdentityId: config.identityId,
   Logins: {
     [config.identityProviderName]: config.identityToken
   }
 })
}

const handleAWSSession = (setUploadConfig) => {
 const state = localStorage.getItem('state')

 const { config, auth } = JSON.parse(state)

 if(!config.region) {
   uploadConfiguration(setUploadConfig, auth)
   .then((uploadConfiguration) => {
     handleAWSCredentials(uploadConfiguration)
   })
 } else {
   handleAWSCredentials(config)
 }

 AWS.config.credentials.get(err => {
   if(err || AWS.config.credentials.expired) {
     uploadConfiguration(setUploadConfig, auth)
     .then(async (uploadConfiguration) => {
       const { identityProviderName, identityToken } = uploadConfiguration 
       AWS.config.credentials.params.Logins[identityProviderName] = identityToken
       await AWS.config.credentials.getPromise()
     })
   } 
 });
 return config
}

Hey @Selenophilia thanks for opening this issue, I am not quite able to understand the question here. Are your credentials expiring before time? Can you share how you are using these credentials and what your use case is?

Hi @ajredniwja,

Thanks for your response! No, Our credentials is expiring after 1 hour . I just notice this because I kept seeing this error on our logs NotAuthorizedException Invalid login token. Token expired: 1622382209 >= 1622315943 . Upon searching this error is about the expiration of aws credentials. I tried doing some work arounds like storing our aws credentials in a local storage then retrieving and updating them when it expires but doing so is we are experiencing new error namely Missing required key 'IdentityPoolId' in params . I am wondering what am I doing wrong here I tried using the following methods ( .get() , .refresh(), and .getPromise()) to refresh this credentials and manually updating them, but still no good. Now, question is How do you automatically update aws credentials when it expires?

We are using aws-sdk for uploading & viewing attachments such as images and pdf's on our web app. And we are also using this package on our mobile app too for uploading and viewing attachments as well.
