API reference
types

types

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

Installation

npm install @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.

💡

Inside the Auth function, you won’t need to use a single type from this module.

Example

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
    },
  }
})

  • Partial<OpenIDTokenEndpointResponse>

Properties

access_token?

optional readonly access_token: string;
Inherited from

Partial.access_token

expires_at?

optional expires_at: number;

Calculated value based on OAuth2TokenEndpointResponse.expires_in.

It is the absolute timestamp (in seconds) when the OAuth2TokenEndpointResponse.access_token expires.

This value can be used for implementing token rotation together with OAuth2TokenEndpointResponse.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":
  • "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.

Some frameworks have built-in CSRF protection and can therefore disable this action. In this case, the corresponding endpoint will return a 404 response. Read more at skipCSRFCheck. ⚠ We don’t recommend manually disabling CSRF protection, unless you know what you’re doing.

  • "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.

TokenSet

type TokenSet: Partial<OAuth2TokenEndpointResponse | OpenIDTokenEndpointResponse> & {

Type declaration

expires_at?

optional expires_at: number;

Date of when the access_token expires in seconds. This value is calculated from the expires_in value.
