A simple and flexible authentication library for TypeScript
Extremely lightweight and gives you full control over sessions and auth logic without any magic happening behind the scenes
Framework agnostic — works with SvelteKit, Astro, Nuxt, and vanilla Node.js equally well with the same core logic
You can audit every line of code since it's open source and the codebase is small enough to actually read
No external service dependency means auth works as long as your own server works — no third-party SLA to worry about
More boilerplate required than hosted solutions — you're responsible for building password reset, email verification, and MFA yourself
Documentation is good but not comprehensive — complex scenarios like organization-based access control require figuring things out yourself
No prebuilt UI components so the visual auth flow is entirely your problem to design and build
Smaller community means fewer answers on Stack Overflow and Google — you'll spend more time in GitHub Discussions
No recent threads in the last 30 days. We pull discussions weekly — check back soon.
