Hi, I am building SPA with `auth0` client. I want to use refresh tokens to get new tokens.

I followed [this](https://auth0.com/docs/libraries/auth0-single-page-app-sdk#use-rotating-refresh-tokens) and everything is working.

I am just very curious that this package does not handle automatically refreshing tokens. I mean, I can program it very easily by reading `exp` of `idToken` and few seconds before its expiration, I would call `getTokenSilently()`, which works fine, but…:

Is there any standardised way how to refresh tokens automatically?

Thank you
