A Node.js module for implementing a fully RFC 6749/6750 compliant OAuth2 server/provider, framework-agnostic with official wrappers for Express and Koa. It supports authorization_code, client_credentials, refresh_token, password, and extension grants with scopes.

Use cases

• implement an OAuth2 authorization server in Node.js
• add OAuth2 token issuance to an Express API
• support client credentials and password grants
• build a compliant OAuth2 provider with custom storage backend
• handle refresh token flows in a Node.js app

When to choose

• you need standards-compliant OAuth2 server behavior in Node.js
• you use Express or Koa and want an official wrapper
• you want flexibility over the token storage backend

When to avoid

• you only need OAuth client/consumer functionality rather than a server
• you need OpenID Connect or full identity provider features
• you are not on a supported Node.js release
