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.
