Set default header for every fetch() request

Creating a fetch wrapper could solve your problem:

function updateOptions(options) {
  const update = { ...options };
  if (localStorage.jwt) {
    update.headers = {
      ...update.headers,
      Authorization: `Bearer ${localStorage.jwt}`,
    };
  }
  return update;
}

export default function fetcher(url, options) {
  return fetch(url, updateOptions(options));
}

You also get the added benefit of being able to switch your request client easily for all the calls in your application if you decide you like Axios or other package better. And you can do other things like check if options.body is an object and add the 'Content-Type: application/json header.
