• RecognizedTokenTypes = Record<Lowercase<string>, (res, body) => void>

A record of custom token_type handlers for processing non-standard token types in OAuth 2.0 token endpoint responses.

This allows extending the library to support non-standard token types returned by the authorization server's token endpoint with optional specific processing.

By default, this library recognizes and handles bearer and dpop token types. When a token endpoint response contains a different token_type value, you can provide custom handlers to process these tokens appropriately. Token types other than bearer, dpop, and ones represented in this record will be rejected as per https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6749.html#section-7.1

Examples

Allow a custom mac token type

let recognizedTokenTypes: oauth.RecognizedTokenTypes = {
  mac: () => {},
}

Allow a custom mac token type with additional constraints put on the token endpoint JSON response

let recognizedTokenTypes: oauth.RecognizedTokenTypes = {
  mac: (response: Response, tokenResponse: oauth.TokenEndpointResponse) => {
    if (typeof tokenResponse.id !== 'string') {
      throw new oauth.UnsupportedOperationError('invalid "mac" token_type', {
        cause: { body: tokenResponse },
      })
    }
  },
}
