How does auth work?

See original GitHub issue

I’m wondering how auth works in grpc-web. I searched for auth and token in the repo and didn’t find anything.

Thanks!

Best practices for gRPC web token authentication would be pretty cool rather than trying to hack at it myself. Like yes, put it in metadata, but then how do you protect routes? is there an intercepter of sorts? where it captures and validates that token before the actual gRPC requested is returned?
