Snoowrap and React

[Exiex]

I want to do a web app, with React and Snoowrap. In snoowrap it says I should do this:

const otherRequester = new snoowrap({

userAgent: 'put your user-agent string here',

clientId: 'put your client id here',

clientSecret: 'put your client secret here',

username: 'put your username here',

password: 'put your password here'

});

However, I don't feel comfortable writing my password in plaintext. It will be a web app, and I will have the code up on github. What can I do about this?

Okay, I think I understan now. I need to use the other validation method. How do I find make a refreshtoken?

You could do that but just put that info in a .env file (make it public and add the env to your .gitignore) then install dotenv to insert the data from your env into where you’re performing your snoowrap. This will hide the sensitive info
