React Native - Sending token to Django server - django

Question

So I have this react native code that sends a token in string format, yes I've checked that var token = getAccessToken() is a string and I've console.log it to ensure it is a JWT token as well. But on the Django side when I check request.headers.get('Authorization', None) it outputs: 'Bearer [object Object]' what's going on?
React Native Code
import {Auth} from 'aws-amplify';
export async function getAccessToken() {
try {
const currentUser = await Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser();
console.log(currentUser);
Auth
.currentSession()
.then(res => {
let accessToken = res.getAccessToken();
// let jwt = accessToken.getJwtToken();
// You can print them to see the full objects
// console.log(`myAccessToken: ${JSON.stringify(accessToken)}`);
// console.log(`myJwt: ${JSON.stringify(jwt)}`);
console.log(accessToken.jwtToken)
return accessToken.jwtToken
});
} catch (error) {
console.log('error signing up:', error);
}
}
const getPosts = () => {
var token = getAccessToken();
const config = {
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ` + token }
};
axios
.get(`${url}/posts`, config)
.then(response => {
console.log(response)
setData(response.data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
});
}
I also tried
const config = {
headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` }
};
I also tried
function getPosts() {
var token = getAccessToken().then(token => {
const config = {
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${token}`
}
};
console.log(token)
axios
.get(`${url}/posts`, config)
.then(response => {
console.log(response)
setData(response.data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
});
}).catch(error => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
});;
};
and console.log(token) is outputting "undefined"

Answer 1

Update getAccessToken to return result of
Auth .currentSession()
And
Make getPosts function async and await getAccessToken().
OR
Use the then block to result of promise
getAccessToken().then(token=>{ // Call the api },err=>{ // Handle the error }
Otherwise what you are getting is a promise that's not resolved yet.
