  operation.setContext({
    headers: {
      authorization: localStorage.getItem('token') || null,

import { setContext } from '@apollo/client/link/context';

const httpLink = createHttpLink({

const authLink = setContext((_, { headers }) => {
  // get the authentication token from local storage if it exists
  const token = localStorage.getItem('token');

    headers: {
      ...headers,
      authorization: token ? `Bearer ${token}` : "",
