@idp.global/sdk
Reusable TypeScript SDK for building against idp.global from both sides of the wire: browser apps that need SSO, JWT housekeeping, transfer-token handoff, and typed IdP requests; and server apps that need explicit account storage, local password auth, and optional idp.global password verification.
The package is intentionally split by runtime. Use @idp.global/sdk/browser in browser bundles and @idp.global/sdk/server in Node.js services. The root @idp.global/sdk export does not expose application APIs.

What You Get
| Runtime | Import | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Browser | @idp.global/sdk/browser |
SSO client, JWT and refresh-token storage, login redirects, logout, transfer-token exchange, and typed request shortcuts for user, organization, billing, OIDC, and admin flows. |
| Server | @idp.global/sdk/server |
Smartdata-backed account store, scrypt password hashing, local/idp.global account authentication, and a server-side typed-socket client for idp.global password login. |
Install
pnpm add @idp.global/sdk
This is an ESM TypeScript package. Published builds expose declaration files and runtime JavaScript through package exports.
Browser SDK
Import the browser client from the browser subpath:
import { IdpClient } from '@idp.global/sdk/browser';
Create one client per app shell. The receptionBaseUrl is the typed RPC origin or full /typedrequest URL.
The production typed RPC surface is private at https://app.idp.global; public relying parties should use dynamic OIDC discovery at https://idp.global/.well-known/openid-configuration.
Use loginBaseUrl to send interactive login redirects to public https://login.idp.global.
const idp = new IdpClient(
'https://app.idp.global',
{ appUrl: 'https://app.example.com/' },
{ loginBaseUrl: 'https://login.idp.global' },
);
await idp.enableTypedSocket();
const loggedIn = await idp.determineLoginStatus(true);
if (loggedIn) {
const whoIsResult = await idp.whoIs();
console.log(whoIsResult.user);
}
When determineLoginStatus(true) cannot recover a valid JWT from browser storage, a refresh token, or a transfertoken query parameter, it redirects the user to the configured loginBaseUrl with the minimal { appUrl } transfer target encoded as transfertarget.
transport: 'websocket' is the default and serves the private application API.
The hosted login UI uses transport: 'http', which creates same-origin HTTP TypedRequests and does not open a WebSocket.
Both transports use the same typed request factories.
Token Handling
The browser client stores auth state in @push.rocks/webstore using the idpglobalStore store and main database.
| Method | Purpose |
|---|---|
setJwt(jwt) / getJwt() / deleteJwt() |
Manage the current JWT. |
setRefreshToken(token) / getRefreshToken() / deleteRefreshToken() |
Manage the refresh token. |
clearAuthState() |
Remove both JWT and refresh token. |
getJwtData() |
Decode the current JWT through @push.rocks/webjwt. |
performJwtHousekeeping() |
Refresh a JWT after its refreshFrom timestamp or recover from an expired JWT through the refresh token. |
refreshJwt(refreshToken?) |
Exchange a refresh token for a fresh JWT and update stored auth state. |
checkJwtPresent() |
Return whether a usable JWT can be found or refreshed. |
Login With Username And Password
The browser request wrappers are typed request factories.
Call enableTypedSocket() before firing them only when the client uses the default WebSocket transport.
await idp.enableTypedSocket();
const loginResponse = await idp.requests.loginWithUserNameAndPassword.fire({
username: 'developer@example.com',
password: 'correct horse battery staple',
});
if (loginResponse.twoFaNeeded) {
throw new Error('Two-factor authentication is required for this account.');
}
if (loginResponse.refreshToken) {
await idp.setRefreshToken(loginResponse.refreshToken);
await idp.refreshJwt(loginResponse.refreshToken);
}
Transfer Tokens
Transfer tokens are the handoff mechanism for moving a logged-in user between apps without exposing refresh tokens to URLs.
await idp.getTransferTokenAndSwitchToLocation();
On the receiving app, determineLoginStatus() calls processTransferToken() as part of its normal recovery flow. You can also call processTransferToken() directly when you own the route handling.
The SDK accepts only absolute, credential-free HTTPS transfer targets and uses
the same configured target for token exchange and navigation. The
transfertarget query value is a request, not proof of authorization: the IdP
must match it against an exact registered redirect target and bind it to the
single-use transfer token before issuing that token.
Logout
await idp.logout();
logout() clears local auth state and, when a refresh token is available on the IdP origin, asks idp.global to revoke the session before returning to the IdP origin. It never navigates to a URL-derived transfer target.

Typed Request Shortcuts
idp.requests exposes typed request factories backed by @idp.global/interfaces. The request and response payload types come from that package, so your editor can guide exact payload shapes.
SDK 11 adopts interfaces v13. JWT verification-key distribution is keyset-only
and uses the plural getPublicKeysForValidation and
pushPublicKeysForValidation contracts. Transfer-token exchange accepts only
the minimal transferTarget: { appUrl } destination. OIDC app creation requires explicit client
type, grant types, callback and post-logout URIs, and token lifetime settings.
Public clients do not receive a client secret; confidential client secrets are
returned only once when created or rotated. The unsupported
client_credentials grant and API-token login are not exposed.
getUserActivity and exportUserActivity return structured activity events
with finite action, outcome, target-type, reason-code, and allowlisted-fact
fields; persistence IDs, free text, network data, integrity material, and sink
delivery state are not part of the SDK contract.

Server SDK
Import server-side primitives from the server subpath:
import {
AccountAuthService,
IdpGlobalServerClient,
SmartdataAccountStore,
} from '@idp.global/sdk/server';
The server SDK is deliberately explicit: it never auto-creates accounts during authentication. Your application decides when an account exists, which auth sources it may use, and whether it is an admin or user.
Smartdata Account Store
SmartdataAccountStore persists accounts through @push.rocks/smartdata and the exported IdpSdkAccountDoc collection.
import * as smartdata from '@push.rocks/smartdata';
import { SmartdataAccountStore } from '@idp.global/sdk/server';
const smartdataDb = new smartdata.SmartdataDb({
mongoDbUrl: process.env.MONGODB_URL!,
mongoDbName: 'my-app',
});
await smartdataDb.init();
const accountStore = new SmartdataAccountStore({ smartdataDb });
if (!(await accountStore.hasActiveAdminAccount())) {
await accountStore.createAccount({
email: 'admin@example.com',
name: 'Admin User',
role: 'admin',
authSources: ['local'],
password: process.env.INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD!,
});
}
Account emails are trimmed and normalized to lowercase for lookups. Local passwords are hashed with Node.js crypto.scrypt, a random salt, and timing-safe verification.
| Method | Purpose |
|---|---|
createAccount(options) |
Persist an explicitly created account. Requires a password when authSources includes local. |
getAccountByEmail(email) |
Find an account by normalized email. |
getAccountById(id) |
Find an account by UUID. |
listAccounts() |
Return all persisted accounts. |
hasActiveAdminAccount() |
Return whether at least one active admin account exists. |
verifyLocalPassword(account, password) |
Validate a local password for an active local account. |
updateLoginState(accountId, patch) |
Update lastLoginAt, updatedAt, and optionally idpSubject. |
normalizeEmail(email) |
Normalize an email exactly like the store does internally. |
Account Authentication
AccountAuthService authenticates only existing active accounts. It supports local passwords, idp.global passwords, or auto mode.
import {
AccountAuthService,
IdpGlobalServerClient,
SmartdataAccountStore,
} from '@idp.global/sdk/server';
const accountStore = new SmartdataAccountStore({ smartdataDb });
const idpClient = new IdpGlobalServerClient();
const authService = new AccountAuthService({
store: accountStore,
idpClient,
});
const authResult = await authService.authenticate({
email: 'admin@example.com',
password: 'correct horse battery staple',
authSource: 'auto',
});
if (!authResult) {
throw new Error('Invalid login.');
}
console.log(authResult.account.role, authResult.authSource);
In auto mode, the service tries local auth first when the account allows local; if that fails and the account allows idp.global, it uses the configured IdpGlobalServerClient. IdpGlobalServerClient defaults to the hosted https://idp.global endpoint; pass { baseUrl } only for self-hosted or staging IdP instances. Pass { backendToken } when a backend service should fetch JWT validation data or subscribe to key/blocklist pushes. idp.global authentication is accepted only when the returned user email matches the local account email and the returned user ID matches the stored idpSubject when one is already set.
Backend services can register for JWT validation updates after constructing a server client with a backend token:
const idpClient = new IdpGlobalServerClient({
baseUrl: process.env.IDP_URL,
backendToken: process.env.IDP_BACKEND_TOKEN,
});
idpClient.onPublicKeysPush((publicKeys) => {
// cache every current or retiring key by kid
});
idpClient.onBlocklistPush((blockedJwtIds) => {
// replace the local JWT ID blocklist with this complete persisted snapshot
});
await idpClient.registerBackendService();
const publicKeys = await idpClient.getPublicKeysForValidation();
const blockedJwtIds = await idpClient.getJwtIdBlocklist();
Verification is keyset-only. Replace the cached snapshot on every push, select
the verification key by the JWT header kid, and reject unknown key IDs.

Runtime Notes
Use the explicit subpath imports. They keep browser bundles free of Node-only code and keep server processes free of browser storage dependencies.
import { IdpClient } from '@idp.global/sdk/browser';
import { AccountAuthService } from '@idp.global/sdk/server';
The SDK uses typed sockets and typed requests from @api.global/*, shared idp.global request contracts from @idp.global/interfaces, and focused Push Rocks utilities for URL handling, JSON/base64 encoding, observables, JWT decoding, browser storage, smartdata persistence, and promise coordination.
Testing
pnpm test
The test suite covers the server account store and auth service, browser transfer-token handling, typed administrative request names, and the exact backend JWT keyset and blocklist contracts.
