For Electron apps

For Electron apps, there is a separate package that can handle authentication on its own. To install it, run:

yarn add twitch-electron-auth-provider

or using npm:

npm install twitch-electron-auth-provider

After that, you just have to provide some basic information to the library to make it provide user access tokens to your application:

import { ElectronAuthProvider } from 'twitch-electron-auth-provider';

const clientId = 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID';
const redirectUri = 'http://foo.bar/login';

const authProvider = new ElectronAuthProvider({
    clientId,
    redirectUri
});

Please note that this currently only works from the main thread.

To allow the user to "log out" and change to another account, use:

authProvider.allowUserChange();
