How to get Access Token for Client Based Application for Zoho API?

Does this mean Zoho API documentations are wrong? I'm following the "client based applications" as my app is a ReactJS based app. Unfortuantely im getting a fetch failed type of error when trying to request an authentication token using response_type = token.

Very frustrating indeed.

What is the proper way to get an auth token for ReactJs apps?
