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 57f63

OAuth device-verification behavior is unchanged, but the public action documentation remains incomplete, which can leave integrators without the intended API contract details.

🤖 AI review (confirmed) (90%): The approve method's parameter type changed from DecisionParams to Omit<SubmitOAuthDeviceVerificationParams, 'approved'>, which is a different (narrowed/changed) input type; existing consumers passing DecisionParams values may no longer satisfy the new parameter type, breaking their call sites.

Migration: Update call sites of approve to pass an argument conforming to 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 the before and after snippets is the removal of a JSDoc comment (/** Expiration time as Unix milliseconds. */) on the expiresAt field; the structural shape of OAuthDeviceVerificationInfo is identical, and since it is an output type (returned via Promise<OAuthDeviceVerificationInfo>), no consumer code is affected.

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.
+  */
+ | 'denied'
+ /**
+  * The approved device authorization has already been used by the device.

+ | '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) (99%): The union members of OAuthDeviceVerificationStatus are identical ('pending' | 'approved' | 'denied' | 'consumed'); the only change is the addition of JSDoc comments on each member, which has no effect on the assignable set or type compatibility.

Report generated by Break Check

_{Last ran on 57f6349.}

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.
