types

This module contains public types and interfaces of the core package.

Installation

npm install @auth/core

pnpm add @auth/core

yarn add @auth/core

bun add @auth/core

You can then import this submodule from @auth/core/types.

Usage

Even if you don’t use TypeScript, IDEs like VS Code will pick up types to provide you with a better developer experience. While you are typing, you will get suggestions about what certain objects/functions look like, and sometimes links to documentation, examples, and other valuable resources.

Generally, you will not need to import types from this module. Mostly when using the Auth function and optionally the AuthConfig interface, everything inside there will already be typed.

import { Auth } from "@auth/core"
 
const request = new Request("https://example.com")
const response = await Auth(request, {
  callbacks: {
    jwt(): JWT { // <-- This is unnecessary!
      return { foo: "bar" }
    },
    session(
       { session, token }: { session: Session; token: JWT } // <-- This is unnecessary!
    ) {
      return session
    },
  }
})

AuthConfig

Re-exports AuthConfig

Account

Usually contains information about the provider being used and also extends TokenSet, which is different tokens returned by OAuth Providers.

• Partial<TokenEndpointResponse>

Properties

access_token?

optional readonly access_token: string;

Inherited from

Partial.access_token

expires_at?

optional expires_at: number;

Calculated value based on TokenEndpointResponse.expires_in.

It is the absolute timestamp (in seconds) when the TokenEndpointResponse.access_token expires.

This value can be used for implementing token rotation together with TokenEndpointResponse.refresh_token.

AuthAction

type AuthAction: 
  | "callback"
  | "csrf"
  | "error"
  | "providers"
  | "session"
  | "signin"
  | "signout"
  | "verify-request"
  | "webauthn-options";

Supported actions by Auth.js. Each action map to a REST API endpoint. Some actions have a GET and POST variant, depending on if the action changes the state of the server.

• "callback":
  • GET: Handles the callback from an OAuth provider.
  • POST: Handles the callback from a Credentials provider.
• "csrf": Returns the raw CSRF token, which is saved in a cookie (encrypted). It is used for CSRF protection, implementing the double submit cookie technique.

• "error": Renders the built-in error page.
• "providers": Returns a client-safe list of all configured providers.
• "session":
  • GET: Returns the user’s session if it exists, otherwise null.
  • POST: Updates the user’s session and returns the updated session.
• "signin":
  • GET: Renders the built-in sign-in page.
  • POST: Initiates the sign-in flow.
• "signout":
  • GET: Renders the built-in sign-out page.
  • POST: Initiates the sign-out flow. This will invalidate the user’s session (deleting the cookie, and if there is a session in the database, it will be deleted as well).
• "verify-request": Renders the built-in verification request page.
• "webauthn-options":
  • GET: Returns the options for the WebAuthn authentication and registration flows.
