Get Viewer Display Name using Extension Frontend Helix Token

You cannot and should not generate a token in the front end of an extension. (And you can’t generate a helixToken yourself anyway)

Just use the helixToken. There is no reason to use another token for this use case of getting a users display name in the front end of an extension without a server.

Twitch will handle the generation of a new helixToken for you if needed.
