[VolcanoDiver]

how do i pass the token data to getClient so that i can add auth headers to ApolloLink?

Hi @VolcanoDiver :)

Most likely, you shouldn't go about it that way.

If you want to specify your authentication headers at call site, you can do so by providing context:

getClient().query({
  query,
  context: { headers: { authentication: "..." } },
});

Or (and this is probably what you will do instead in most cases), you can just call cookies (or whatever other way of getting your auth headers you have) inside of a setContext link

export const { getClient } = registerApolloClient(() => {
  const httpLink = createHttpLink({
    uri: "/graphql",
  });

  const authLink = setContext((_, { headers }) => {
    const token = cookies().get("myCookie");
    return {
      headers: {
        ...headers,
        authorization: token ? `Bearer ${token}` : "",
      },
    };
  });

  return new ApolloClient({
    link: authLink.concat(httpLink),
    cache: new InMemoryCache(),
  });
});

I'm doing some housekeeping so I'm closing some older issues that haven't seen activity in a while.
If this is still relevant, please feel free to reopen the issue.
