Access OIDC token information from Angular SPA

[godfriedmeesters]

What would be the best way to access the information encoded in the OpenID token from the Angular SPA side? For example, I want to display the user's name in the SPA after login.

As far as I understand no tokens at all are available directly to the SPA.

You can have an endpoint in your BFF that just returns whatever is in the currently Authentication object, something like this:

@GetMapping("/user/me")
public Authentication getCurrentAuthentication(Authentication authentication) {
    return authentication;
}
