SPA using the Token Handler from Curity

An example Single Page Application (SPA) client that uses the production supported backend components.
The SPA uses an API-driven OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect flow:

The SPA follows best practices for browser based apps with no tokens in the browser.
The SPA transports access tokens to APIs using HTTP-only SameSite=strict cookies.

Architecture Benefits

This provides the best separation of web and API concerns, to maintain all of the benefits of an SPA architecture:

• Strongest Browser Security developed by experts
• Supported Solution, with design guidance and professional services support
• Great User Experience due to the separation of web and API concerns
• Productive Developer Experience with only simple security code needed in the SPA
• Deploy Anywhere, such as to a content delivery network

Simple Code in Apps

This repository demonstrates the business focused components you should need to develop:

• A Single Page App coded in React
• A Web Host to provide static content
• An API that validates JWT access tokens

It also provides an example deployment so that you can understand the moving parts.
