Esikhoob As it is best not to leak your app secret to users, you can instead use the "PKCE" app authorization flow with the JavaScript SDK itself. The PKCE flow is intended for client-side applications and does not require the use of the app secret. You can find an example of using it with the JavaScript SDK here.
