disauth
Modern Discord OAuth made simple. disauth wraps the Discord OAuth2 and REST APIs with safe defaults, PKCE helpers, and rich typings so you can add login flows to bots, dashboards, and tooling faster.
Features
- OAuth2 Authorization Code, PKCE, Refresh, and Client Credentials flows
- Helpers for fetching
/users/@me, guilds, and linked connections - Configurable base URLs for Discord API proxies
- Token revocation support and typed error classes
- Tiny surface area: one configurable
Client, plus utilities likegeneratePkcePair
Installation
pnpm add disauth
# or
npm install disauth
# or
yarn add disauth
# or
bun add disauthQuick Start
import { Client } from "disauth";
const client = new Client({
clientId: process.env.DISCORD_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET!,
redirectUri: "https://your-app.dev/oauth/callback",
scopes: ["identify", "email"],
});
// 1. Redirect users to Discord
const authUrl = client.generateAuthUrl("state-token");
// 2. Exchange the authorization code in your OAuth callback handler
const { access_token, refresh_token } = await client.exchangeCode(code);
// 3. Call Discord APIs on behalf of the user
const user = await client.getUser(access_token);Using PKCE
PKCE is pre-baked: generate a verifier/challenge pair on the client, send the challenge with the authorization URL, and later pass the verifier when exchanging the code.
import { Client, generatePkcePair } from "disauth";
const pkce = generatePkcePair();
const authUrl = client.generateAuthUrl({
state: "csrf-token",
codeChallenge: pkce.challenge,
codeChallengeMethod: pkce.method,
});
// Later in the callback route
const tokens = await client.exchangeCode(code, pkce.verifier);Client Credentials Flow
const tokens = await client.exchangeClientCredentials([
"applications.commands",
]);Generic REST Helper
const guilds = await client.api("/users/@me/guilds", access_token);Pass a full URL to hit custom endpoints or proxies. Headers and request options can be overridden via the third parameter.
Token Revocation
await client.revokeToken(refresh_token, { tokenTypeHint: "refresh_token" });Error Handling
Errors thrown by the client extend DiscordHttpError. OAuth-specific issues raise DiscordOAuthError with the raw payload attached.
import { DiscordOAuthError } from "disauth";
try {
await client.exchangeCode(code);
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof DiscordOAuthError) {
console.error(error.error, error.description);
}
}Types and Constants
The package exports the complete list of scopes (DISCORD_OAUTH_SCOPES), prompt types, connection and guild interfaces, and Discord endpoints for convenience.
