Library should handle token invalidation

[sarink]

Storing and timing token expiration, managing multiple links, properly mounting/destroying link instances, re-calling your api endpoint... gets quite complex.

This library should really handle all of that for the consumer with an api like:

  const { loading, error, openLink } = usePlaidLink({
    fetchToken: async () => {
      const token = await yourApi.getLinkToken({ itemId });
      return token;
    },
    onEvent: () => {...},
    onSuccess: () => {...}
  });

Couldn't agree more

@sarink could you elaborate a bit further on your suggestion? Are you saying the library should refetch the token at the expected interval (4 hours is the current expiration time for a link token) once you've provided the fetcher function?

Not sure if it's just that or if there's more to your suggestion
