+#### `tokenFn`
+
+The prop `tokenFn` can be used to change how the token is fetched and received from
+the service. It's a way to bypass the default fetch all together and use your own.
+For example, if your `access-token` comes in the headers instead of the response body
+you will have to use your own fetch function to get those. Or perhaps you already
+have a custom built fetch function that communicates with your backend and you want
+to make use of it.
+
+Your function will receive the `url` from the OauthReceiver, it takes the
+`tokenUrl` and builds it up with all the other needed parameters so you don't have to.
+It will also receive the `tokenFetchArgs` parameter just in case you need it. if you don't,
+just ignore it.
