An Open ID Connect client tailored for Single Page Applications, particularly suitable for Vite projects.
This library is intended for scenarios such as integrating your application with Keycloak.

In straightforward terms, this library is ideal for those seeking to enable user login/registration in their web application. When used in conjunction with Keycloak (for example), it enables you to offer a modern and secure authentication experience with minimal coding effort. This includes options for signing in via Google, X, GitHub, or other social media platforms. We provide comprehensive guidance from beginning to end.

• 🎓 Accessible to all skill levels; no need to be an OIDC expert. And we are here to help on Discord.
• 🛠️ Easy to set up; eliminates the need for creating special /login /logout routes.
• 💬 Helpful debug message telling you what's wrong in your configuration and how to fix it.
• 🎛️ Minimal API surface for ease of use.
• 🕣 Easy implementation of auto logout. Are you still there? You will be logged out in 10...9...
• ✨ Robust yet optional React integration.
• 📖 Comprehensive documentation and project examples: End-to-end solutions for authenticating your app.
• ✅ Best in class type safety: Enhanced API response types based on usage context.

Comparison with Existing Libraries

oidc-client-ts

While oidc-client-ts serves as a comprehensive toolkit, our library aims to provide a simplified, ready-to-use adapter that will pass any security audit and that will just work out of the box on any browser.
We utilize oidc-client-ts internally but abstract away most of its intricacies.

react-oidc-context

react-oidc-context is a React wrapper around oidc-client-ts.
oidc-spa also feature a carefully crafted React API that comes with example integration with:

• @tanstack/react-router
• react-router-dom

keycloak-js

The official OIDC Client for Keycloak. It only works with Keycloak and will eventually be deprecated.

NextAuth.js

NextAuth.js is a authentication solution for Next.js and features a Keycloak adapter.
oidc-spa is specifically designed for Single Page Applications, Next.js projects do not call in this category, so NextAuth.js is what you should use if you're using Next.js.

NOTE: We might create in the future a oidc-mpa library for Multi Page Applications that would aim at supporting Next.js projects.
