Electron app with Okta

Questions
1

Hi,

I need to secure my Electron using TypeScript & Angular7 app. I can’t find any recent examples that don’t use the google flow file (seems incompatible with TS). Since it’s a desktop app do I need to furnish my own login screen or can I somehow embed the default Okta login?

Any guidance would be appreciated. It looks like angular-oauth2-oidc with @okta/okta-auth-js might be the right path - but would love to hear some updated opinions.

thanks!

[Edit: I did finally find a TS example from 2 years ago - brings up a webpage to login and then tells the user to close the page to continue. Definitely not optimal, but it’s a start]
