Hello,  
I was wondering if anyone knows a way to catch a 401 api response (globally) and redirect back to the login page.

I am looking at the React Native course source code and in my backend I have an access token that expires.  
Once it expires, the API calls return 401. At that point how can I detect it and redirect to the login page?  
If there is not a global way I would have to check `if (response.status === 401)` after **every** call…

Thanks
