Arctic is a TypeScript library providing OAuth 2.0 client implementations for popular providers like Google and GitHub, handling authorization requests, code exchange, token refresh, and revocation with optional PKCE support. It was deprecated in July 2026, with example replacement code available in the repository.
Use cases
- add google login to my app
- implement oauth2 sign in with github
- exchange authorization code for access token
- refresh oauth access tokens
- revoke oauth tokens
- oauth flow with pkce support
When to choose
- you need ready-made OAuth 2.0 clients for popular providers in a TypeScript project
- you want a lightweight library handling authorization, token exchange, refresh, and revocation
- you're maintaining an existing codebase already using Arctic
When to avoid
- starting a new project, since the library was deprecated in July 2026
- you need OAuth 1.0 or OpenID Connect-specific features beyond OAuth 2.0
- you want a full authentication framework with sessions and user management
