docs(shared): document OAuth device verification types by SarahSoutoul · Pull Request #9678 · clerk/javascript

SarahSoutoul · 2026-09-07T20:09:03Z

Description

Documents the public fields and actions used by OAuth device verification, and exposes the lookup and submit parameter types in generated TypeDoc output.

OAuthDeviceVerificationStatus is documented and expanded inline wherever it is referenced, rather than generating a standalone TypeDoc page. Link replacements reserve the future docs routes for the remaining generated types and the hook's return section.

Affects the following TypeDoc outputs:

use-o-auth-device-verification-return.mdx — the hook's return type, with descriptions for all 9 fields
use-o-auth-device-verification.mdx — the hook itself
o-auth-device-verification-scope.mdx
o-auth-device-verification-info.mdx
o-auth-device-verification-result.mdx
lookup-o-auth-device-verification-params.mdx
submit-o-auth-device-verification-params.mdx

Checklist

pnpm test runs as expected.
pnpm build runs as expected.
(If applicable) JSDoc comments have been added or updated for any package exports
(If applicable) Documentation has been updated

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added JSDoc for OAuth device verification types, parameters, hook state, and actions. Added Typedoc file handling, link mappings, and tests for related documentation pages. Added a patch changeset. Type declarations and runtime behavior remain unchanged.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9e6f0

OAuth device verification documentation may misstate which failed request populates the shared error state during overlapping actions, and the action documentation concern remains open. This can mislead integrators but does not change runtime behavior.

🤖 AI review (confirmed) (85%): The approve method's parameter type changed from DecisionParams to Omit<SubmitOAuthDeviceVerificationParams, 'approved'>, which is a different shape that callers who previously passed DecisionParams values may no longer satisfy, making this a breaking change for consumers who call approve.

Migration: Update callers of approve to pass an object matching Omit<SubmitOAuthDeviceVerificationParams, 'approved'> instead of DecisionParams.

Modified: `OAuthDeviceVerificationInfo`

// ... 2 unchanged lines elided ...
    oauthApplicationLogoUrl: string | null;
    clientId: string;

-   status: OAuthDeviceVerificationStatus; /** Expiration time as Unix milliseconds. */

🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (95%): The only difference between before and after is the removal of a JSDoc comment on the expiresAt field; the structural shape of OAuthDeviceVerificationInfo is identical, and since this type is in an output position (returned via Promise<OAuthDeviceVerificationInfo>), no consumer code is broken.

Modified: `OAuthDeviceVerificationStatus`

- type OAuthDeviceVerificationStatus = 'pending' | 'approved' | 'denied' | 'consumed';
+ type OAuthDeviceVerificationStatus =
+ /**
+  * The device authorization is awaiting approval or denial.
+  */
+ 'pending'
+ /**
+  * The device authorization was approved.
+  */
+ | 'approved'
+ /**
+  * The device authorization was denied.

+ | 'consumed';

Static analyzer: Breaking change in type alias OAuthDeviceVerificationStatus: Type changed: 'approved'|'consumed'|'denied'|'pending' → 'approved' /** * The device authorization was denied. */|'consumed'|'denied' /** * The approved device authorization ha…

🤖 AI review (reclassified as non-breaking) (98%): OAuthDeviceVerificationStatus still resolves to the same union 'pending' | 'approved' | 'denied' | 'consumed'; the only additions are JSDoc comments on the existing members, which have no effect on assignability or consumer type-checking.

_{Last ran on 9e6f0c6.}

Preflight rejections (Clerk not loaded, or a conflicting request already in progress) reject the returned promise without populating `error`, so `null` does not mean no error occurred. Note that callers must handle rejections from lookup/approve/deny directly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

manovotny · 2026-09-09T04:00:02Z

Pushed a change directly in 9e6f0c6.

Reworded the error field's JSDoc on UseOAuthDeviceVerificationReturn. null doesn't actually mean no error occurred: preflight rejections (Clerk not loaded, or a conflicting request already in flight) reject the returned promise without touching error, and the specs assert it stays null in those cases. It now says that, and that callers still need to handle rejections from lookup, approve, and deny.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not promise request-order semantics that the hook does not enforce.

The implementation in packages/shared/src/react/hooks/useOAuthDeviceVerification.tsx uses one shared error state for lookup and submit, while allowing both operations to overlap. If a newer approve succeeds while an older lookup is pending, the older lookup can reject afterward and populate error. Therefore, error is not always from the most recent request, and it is not necessarily null after the latest request succeeds. Either make error updates order-aware across both operations or document that this field contains the latest error recorded by either operation.

This is based on the supplied hook implementation.
