oidc-client-ts is a TypeScript library providing OpenID Connect (OIDC) and OAuth2 protocol support for browser-based JavaScript applications, including user session and access token management. It is an actively maintained fork of the discontinued oidc-client-js, with a companion react-oidc-context package offering React context-based state management for authentication.

Use cases

• add OIDC login to a single-page application
• implement OAuth2 authorization code flow with PKCE in the browser
• manage access tokens and silent refresh in a JavaScript app
• authenticate a React app against an identity provider
• sign users in and out with an OpenID Connect provider
• handle refresh tokens and iframe-based silent renew
• migrate from the deprecated oidc-client-js library

When to choose

• you need a spec-compliant, browser-side OIDC/OAuth2 client in TypeScript
• your SPA uses authorization code flow with PKCE against providers like Auth0, Keycloak, or IdentityServer
• you want React integration via context API
• you need session and token management without a full framework

When to avoid

• you need the implicit grant, which is no longer supported
• you need server-side or native mobile OAuth flows rather than browser-based ones
• you want a batteries-included UI with login screens rather than a protocol library
• you need OAuth 2.0 grants outside the OAuth 2.1 trajectory
