Description

This pull request adds client-side APIs for email verification, password management, email changes, and magic-link authentication. These methods let applications call the corresponding authentication endpoints through createAuthClient() and choose automatic browser navigation or handle redirect results themselves.

Key Changes

  • Add ten client methods to createAuthClient() for sending and verifying email and magic links, password reset and change flows, and email change and cancellation.
  • Add client option and return types. With redirect: false, methods return a typed result; otherwise, they return void and navigate to the response URL in the browser when one is provided.
  • Add runtime and type tests for the new methods, including request data, CSRF headers where applicable, redirect handling, and failure responses.

Usage

const authClient = createAuthClient({ /* client options */ })

const result = await authClient.sendMagicLink("user@example.com", {
  redirect: false,
})

if (result.success && result.redirectURL) {
  // Handle the redirect manually.
}

Merge Risk: High · up to abbd0

The new authentication client is not ready to merge: six operations fail with default configuration, and redirect handling and failure reporting also need correction.

Assert the manual result shape independently.

If a return alias becomes never, these assertions can still pass. Assert the concrete success and failure union for each method. Include calls that infer the options type.

Add navigation tests for the new client methods.

The new tests check redirectTo forwarding but do not enable automatic navigation. Add runtime tests for each method with redirect: true. Assert that window.location.assign receives the response’s redirectURL. The current tests would not detect removal of the new navigation calls.

Review comments at @packages/core/src/@types/api.ts:
- Around line 401-403: Update SendVerificationEmailReturn and the corresponding
new result aliases so callers receive a data-or-void union whenever the redirect
option can be false, including when redirect is widened to boolean or is
optional. Preserve the existing void result when false is not possible.

Review comments at @packages/core/src/client/client.ts:
- Line 853: Update cancelEmailChange so it fetches and sends the CSRF token only
when no cancellation token is provided; when a valid cancellation token is
supplied, skip getCSRFToken and proceed with cancellation even if the CSRF
endpoint is unavailable.
- Around line 550-551: Update the redirect condition in the ten client methods
around the `options?.redirect` check so an omitted `redirect` defaults to true,
while `redirect: false` still supports manual navigation. Update their
TypeScript return types to expose the action result instead of hiding it as
`void`.
- Around line 672-677: Update the POST request options in sendVerificationEmail,
forgotPassword, resetPassword, changePassword, changeEmail, and sendMagicLink to
explicitly set the JSON content type while preserving any existing CSRF headers.
Update the corresponding mocked POST expectations to verify the content type and
retain their existing assertions.
- Around line 679-683: Normalize non-OK HTTP responses across all ten affected
client methods so callers receive a consistent failure result with success
false, redirect false, and a null redirectURL; preserve JSON parsing for
successful responses. Add a shared response helper and use it at each affected
response return site, including the ResetPassword flow near its redirect
handling.
