oidc-client-ts ★ 1945 271 APPLICATION

This is a TypeScript library implementing an OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth2 client for browser-based applications. It supports Authorization Code Grant with PKCE, refresh tokens, resource owner password credentials, and DPoP, while explicitly excluding the deprecated implicit grant. The library provides both a low-level `OidcClient` for raw protocol operations and a higher-level `UserManager` with session management, event notifications, and automatic silent token renewal via iframes or pop-ups. It is a fork of the archived `oidc-client-js` project, ported to TypeScript with strict typing, comprehensive testing (vitest, jsdom), and modern build tooling (esbuild, ESLint, Husky). The architecture is cleanly layered: a settings store with defaults, navigator abstraction for browser UI (redirect, popup, iframe), storage abstraction for state persistence (in-memory, localStorage, IndexedDB), and an event system for lifecycle callbacks. The codebase demonstrates high craftsmanship with well-isolated, reusable components such as the generic Event emitter, a sleep-aware Timer, and a strategy-pattern for navigation. DPoP support is implemented with secure key storage in IndexedDB and automatic nonce retry. External runtime dependencies are minimal (only `jwt-decode`). Active maintenance is evidenced by regular commits, dependabot configuration, CI workflows, and a versioned release process. This library is suitable for any browser-based SPA requiring standards-compliant OIDC/OAuth2 authentication.
