Motivation

MT-23076

The API token endpoints now accept an optional expires_at (createApiToken request body and a new optional resetApiToken body). This exposes it in the SDK.

Changes

  • add optional expires_at?: string | null to CreateApiTokenRequest (maps to the expires_at param of the createApiToken operation)
  • add ResetApiTokenRequest type and an optional params argument to apiTokens.reset(id, params?) (the resetApiToken operation now takes an optional body)
  • when params is omitted, reset sends no request body – identical to the previous behavior
  • expires_at: null is serialized as an explicit JSON null ("never expires"); omitting the key leaves the expiration to the server default (a 1-year default is being rolled out)
  • extend the api tokens example with the new option

How to test

  • apiTokens.create({ name, resources }) without expires_at – request body has no expires_at key, token is created as before
  • apiTokens.create({ ..., expires_at: "2027-06-01T00:00:00Z" }) – created token's expires_at matches the passed value
  • apiTokens.create({ ..., expires_at: null }) – created token never expires (expires_at: null in the response)
  • apiTokens.create({ ..., expires_at: "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z" }) (past date) – rejected, MailtrapError with the server's 422 message
  • apiTokens.reset(id) without params – no request body sent, reset works exactly as before
  • apiTokens.reset(id, { expires_at: null }) – new token never expires
  • apiTokens.reset(id, { expires_at: "<future date>" }) – new token expires at the passed value

Companion PRs

Caveat: release/merge only after falcon deploys MT-23076 and zap_api_token_expiration is enabled in production.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • API tokens can be reset with an optional expiration date.
    • Token creation and resets support custom ISO 8601 expiration dates.
    • Tokens can be configured to never expire by setting expiration to null.
    • When omitted, expiration uses the server default.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling and reporting of invalid expiration dates, including past dates and dates beyond the supported limit.
    • Reset requests now consistently apply expiration settings.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on expiration behavior, validation limits, and reset restrictions.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The API token client now supports optional expiration settings for creation and reset. Types document defaults, non-expiring tokens, and validation limits. Tests cover request payloads and rejected timestamps. The example demonstrates dynamic expiration usage.

Changes

API token expiration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expiration request contracts
src/types/api/api-tokens.ts
Documents CreateApiTokenRequest.expires_at and adds ResetApiTokenRequest with optional expiration settings.
Client expiration handling
src/lib/api/resources/ApiTokens.ts
Updates reset to accept optional expiration parameters and passes them to the reset request. Updates expiration documentation for create and reset.
Expiration validation and examples
src/__tests__/lib/api/resources/ApiTokens.test.ts, examples/general/api-tokens.ts
Tests omitted, timestamp, null, and rejected expiration values for create and reset. The example uses a dynamic 30-day expiration and documents non-expiring reset tokens.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 83c61

The token reset change may send an empty JSON body when called with an empty options object, which differs from the prior bodyless behavior and could affect request handling; the PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a small follow-up fix.

Axios 1.18.0 transformRequest JSON.stringify object undefined axios.post request body

💡 Result:

In Axios 1.18.0, when using a custom transformRequest function to perform JSON.stringify(object), you may encounter issues where the request body is sent incorrectly, becomes undefined, or fails to include desired data because JSON.stringify natively removes keys with undefined values or because the transformation output does not adhere to the required output format [1][2]. To successfully stringify an object in transformRequest while handling undefined values or ensuring the correct output, follow these best practices: 1. Handle Undefined Values: Use a replacer function with JSON.stringify to convert undefined values to null (or another desired value), as JSON.stringify otherwise omits these keys [1][2]. 2. Set Content-Type: When using a custom transformRequest, Axios may not automatically set the Content-Type header to application/json. You should set this manually within the transformer function [2]. 3. Ensure Valid Return Type: The final output of your transformRequest must be a string, Buffer, ArrayBuffer, FormData, or Stream [3][4]. If you return an object, the request will fail or behave unexpectedly [5]. Example implementation: const instance = axios.create({ transformRequest: [ function (data, headers) { // 1. Manually set the content type headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json'; // 2. Stringify using a replacer function to handle undefined return JSON.stringify(data, (key, value) => { return value === undefined? null: value; }); } ] }); instance.post('/endpoint', { key1: 'value', key2: undefined // Will be converted to null instead of removed }); Note that transformRequest is an array of functions [6]. If you are using axios.create or overriding the default configuration, ensure you are not accidentally overwriting default transformers if you still rely on them [5]. If you use new axios.Axios directly rather than axios.create, default transformers are not included by default and must be explicitly added [7].

ResetApiTokenRequest allows reset(id, {}), but post(url, params) serializes {} as an empty JSON object. Restore the conditional body handling and add a regression test for reset(id, {}).
