Arctic is a collection of OAuth 2.0 clients for popular providers. It only supports the authorization code grant type and intended to be used server-side. Built on top of the Fetch API, it's light weight, fully-typed, and runtime-agnostic.
npm install arctic@next
import { GitHub, generateState } from "arctic";
const github = new GitHub(clientId, clientSecret);
const state = generateState();
const authorizationURL = github.createAuthorizationURL(state);
authorizationURL.addScopes("user:email");
const tokens = await github.validateAuthorizationCode(code);
const accessToken = tokens.accessToken();
For a generic OAuth 2.0 client, see @oslojs/oauth2.
Arctic only supports providers that follow the OAuth 2.0 spec (including PKCE and token revocation).
Arctic does not strictly follow semantic versioning. While we aim to only introduce breaking changes in major versions, we may introduce them in a minor update if a provider updates their API in a non-backward compatible way. However, they will never be introduced in a patch update.
