Description

Currently, we only have instructions to test the Auth0 login if we use Auth0.js (which generates an id_token): https://docs.hasura.io/1.0/graphql/manual/guides/integrations/auth0-jwt.html#test-auth0-login-and-generate-sample-jwts-for-testing.

We need to come up with a way to test the same also if we use auth0-spa-js (which generates an access_token).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how to test Auth0 login using auth0 spa js (which yields an access token) and add instructions for obtaining and using the access token for GraphQL requests.
