Are people using Auth.js already?

Nearly all of the platforms implement OpenID, so I ended up rolling my own integration using openid-client to do the third party auth, and then on success, just set your own cookie.
Any resources of OAuth2 without using any packages/passport.js?

There is quite a bit of hidden complexity to doing different flows. One approach to learning these is to use a lower level library (and perhaps review its code) such as the excellent openid-client.

I've successfully used this one in the past, specifically the Passport strategy. Based on a cursory search it seems like the best current option.

Has anyone used Okta + react testing library?
2 projects | /r/reactjs | 19 May 2021

I've implemented auth using okta-react and okta-auth-js and everything works. However, I've now turned to the testing side using React Testing Library and I was wondering if anyone here has experience with using it with these Okta libraries? Do I have to mock an authenticated user?
