# getMinAuthToken

> This utility can be used to get a minified JWT token generated by Dynamic which is stored inside of localStorage.

<Card title="Recommended: JavaScript SDK with React Hooks" icon="react" color="#4779FE">
  For new React apps, we recommend the JavaScript SDK with React Hooks (`@dynamic-labs-sdk/react-hooks`) instead of the legacy React SDK documented here. The JS SDK comes with many benefits such as a much smaller bundle size and other optimizations. Use the [React quickstart (JavaScript SDK)](/javascript/reference/react-quickstart) to get started.
</Card>

<Info>
  The size of the minified JWT is constant, and will never increase based on the user payload (e.g. as more verified credentials are added). It is recommended to use this JWT for authentication.

```TypeScript theme={"system"}
import { getMinAuthToken } from "@dynamic-labs/sdk-react-core";

const App = () => {
    const dynamicMinifiedJwtToken = getMinAuthToken()
    ...
}
```
