+# Interface: DispatchInterceptor
+
+Extends: `Function`
+
+A function that can be applied to the `Dispatcher.Dispatch` function before it is invoked with a dispatch request.
+
+This allows one to write logic to intercept both the outgoing request, and the incoming response.
+
+### Parameter: `Dispatcher.Dispatch`
+
+The base dispatch function you are decorating.
+
+### ReturnType: `Dispatcher.Dispatch`
+
+A dispatch function that has been altered to provide additional logic
+
+### Basic Example
+
+Here is an example of an interceptor being used to provide a JWT bearer token
+
+```js
+'use strict'
+
+const insertHeaderInterceptor = dispatch => {
+ return function InterceptedDispatch(opts, handler){
+ opts.headers.push('Authorization', 'Bearer [Some token]')
+ return dispatch(opts, handler)
+ }
+}
+
+const client = new Client('https://localhost:3000', {
+ interceptors: { Client: [insertHeaderInterceptor] }
+})
+
+```
+
+### Basic Example 2
+
+Here is a contrived example of an interceptor stripping the headers from a response.
+
+```js
+'use strict'
+
+const clearHeadersInterceptor = dispatch => {
+ const { DecoratorHandler } = require('undici')
+ class ResultInterceptor extends DecoratorHandler {
+ onHeaders (statusCode, headers, resume) {
+ return super.onHeaders(statusCode, [], resume)
+ }
+ }
+ return function InterceptedDispatch(opts, handler){
+ return dispatch(opts, new ResultInterceptor(handler))
+ }
+}
+
+const client = new Client('https://localhost:3000', {
+ interceptors: { Client: [clearHeadersInterceptor] }
+})
+
+```
