Can You Use WebHooks in an Angular App?

[bob r]

My Angular application is working great, talking to the Strava API now, but everything runs in the users browser with NO server side logic. I want my users to see real time updates without having to refresh.

Mostly, I want the Angular Code running in the users browser to know right away if the application has been de-authorized.

From within the running code, I know how to send the initial request to Strava Web Hooks, but when it subsequently sends  the hub challenge, how do i listen for it, let alone send a 200 OK HTTP Response?

Has anyone tried to get their Angular app to talk to Strava WebHooks using the RxJS web sockets API, or with anything else, successfully?

You'll need a server to be able to use webhooks. 

Not sure how you can build a client only app that integrates with Strava without exposing your client id and secret.

Thanks, Bryant! Good catch. While Angular's build process does make it difficult to determine the values from the deployed artifacts, I now see this will have to be mitigated with some server-side logic in order to be FULLY secure.
