Context and Problem Statement#
There are a few circumstances where apps would want to use headers to authenticate or access the token on the client side.
Considered Options#
- Integrated implementation
- Guide
Decision Outcome#
We provide our own implementation since this seems to be a fairly common use-case and implementing this outside the SDK can get complicated.
