function App() {
  const [userData, setUserData] = useState([])

  const cognitoObserver = CognitoAuthObserver({ // init
    clientId: process.env.REACT_APP_COGNITO_CLIENT_ID,
    poolDomain: process.env.REACT_APP_COGNITO_POOL_DOMAIN,
    redirectUrl: process.env.REACT_APP_COGNITO_REDIRECT_URI,
    region: process.env.REACT_APP_COGNITO_REGION,
    userPoolId: process.env.REACT_APP_COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID,
  });

  cognitoObserver.onTokenUpdate(() => { // callback on token update
    setUserData(cognitoObserver.getUserData())
  }, 'onTokenUpdateKey')
  
  const getCodeFromBrowser = () => { 
    // get code after signin/up to aws cognito 
    // then pass to cognitoObserver
    const urlSearchParams = new URLSearchParams(window.location.search);
    const params = Object.fromEntries(urlSearchParams.entries());
    const code = params['code'];
  }

  const cognitoCode = getCodeFromBrowser()

  useEffect(() => {
    cognitoObserver.init(cognitoCode)
      .then(isAuthenticated => {
        console.log('Token updated:', isAuthenticated)
      })
