React-oidc-client-js

OpenID Connect (OIDC) client with React and typescript

• This is sample application that contains oidc-client-js and React with Typescript.

• The application is based on create-react-app - Create React App

ℹ️ Project status: Not maintained

This project is no longer maintained.

It demonstrates a legacy approach where access tokens are stored in localStorage / sessionStorage, which is no longer considered secure for modern SPA applications.

👉 Current recommendation:
Use the Backend for Frontend (BFF) pattern, where tokens are handled server-side and never exposed to the browser.
