OAuth.Implicit

The implicit grant type is used to obtain access tokens (it does not support the issuance of refresh tokens) and is optimized for public clients known to operate a particular redirection URI. These clients are typically implemented in a browser using a scripting language such as JavaScript.

This is a 2-step process:

The client asks for an authorization and implicit authentication to the OAuth provider: the user is redirected.
The provider redirects the user back and the client parses the request query parameters from the url.

After those steps, the client owns an access_token that can be used to authorize any subsequent request.

Authorize

authorize : Authorization -> Cmd msg

Redirects the resource owner (user) to the resource provider server using the specified authorization flow.

In this case, use Token as a responseType

parse : Location -> Result ParseErr ResponseToken

Parse the location looking for a parameters set by the resource provider server after redirecting the resource owner (user).

Fails with ParseErr Empty when there's nothing
