Is it possible to use Auth without an authUrl in the authConfig using the React SDK?​

Yes, it is possible to use Auth without an authUrl in the authConfig using the React SDK. The authUrl property in the authConfig object is used to specify the backend URL of the authentication endpoints. However, if you don't need to communicate with a backend for authentication purposes, you can omit this property. In that case, Auth will use default authentication mechanisms such as cookies.

Can I token gate my website using Auth?​
