client_id and client_secret into SPA code

[davelip]

Hi, do you think that share to a public client (the user's browser over the internet) into your SPA code the client_id and the client_secret is a good idea (for the security)?

Hello,

Thank you for your interest to my package. Yes I totally agree with you, this is just a first or a beta version of this package, I have plans to store the client_secret into the database and links it with the user_id, then create a function that receive only the client_id, the username and the password, and retreive the client_secret related to this user (based on username + password) then create a request with client_secret retreived.

But it's just an idea, I am always searching for the best way to do it.

Thanks again for this links they are very helpful and don't hesitate to suggest how can I perform this system.

Best regards, Hatim
