🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
packages/auth/keycloak/README.md (3)

34-49: Note runtime risks of non-null assertions on environment variables.

The quick-start example uses process.env.KEYCLOAK_ISSUER! and similar non-null assertions without error handling. If these variables are missing at runtime, the application will fail. Consider adding a note that these values must be set before the app starts, or suggest validating them on startup.

Optional: Add a brief note like:

Note: Ensure all required environment variables (KEYCLOAK_ISSUER, KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID, KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET) are set before starting the application. Missing variables will cause a runtime error.


137-147: Document the unit for KEYCLOAK_EXPIRE_IN.

Line 146 shows KEYCLOAK_EXPIRE_IN=86400 without explicitly stating the time unit. The code snippet (line 82) shows expireIn: 86400, but the unit (seconds) should be documented to avoid misconfigurations.

Update the environment variables section to clarify:

# KEYCLOAK_EXPIRE_IN is in seconds (default: 86400 = 24 hours)
KEYCLOAK_EXPIRE_IN=86400

149-151: Expand sign-out guidance with implementation example.

The sign-out section acknowledges variability in Keycloak behavior but is vague on implementation. Users may be unsure how to actually implement logout. Consider adding a minimal code example.

Example addition:

// Simple sign-out: clear session and redirect
export async function POST({ locals, url }) {
  locals.session.identity = null;  // Clear identity
  throw redirect(303, '/');        // Redirect to homepage
}

This helps users get started without needing to research Keycloak's end-session endpoint.

1-202: Apache License 2.0 properly applied.

The license text is complete, correctly formatted, and includes the appropriate copyright notice for Escendit. No issues found.

packages/auth/keycloak/README.md (1)

1-169: Comprehensive and well-structured documentation.

The README provides clear guidance on setup, configuration, usage patterns, and troubleshooting. Code examples are accurate, configuration defaults are well-documented, and the information is organized logically for both quick-start and deep-dive scenarios. The troubleshooting section provides valuable hints for common issues.

73-106: Comprehensive configuration documentation. The defaults are clearly shown with appropriate TypeScript syntax. One minor suggestion: line 82 specifies expireIn: 86400 but doesn't explicitly state the unit is seconds. Consider adding an inline comment like expireIn: 86400, // seconds (1 day) for clarity.

packages/auth/keycloak/README.md (11)

1-5: Clear and professional introduction. The description accurately conveys the package's purpose, key technologies, and compatibility. Well done.


7-14: Well-articulated features. Each bullet clearly communicates a developer benefit. The progression from easy adoption (drop-in middleware) to security implementation (PKCE) is logical.


16-28: Clear installation with multi-package-manager support. Peer dependencies are explicitly listed with correct semver constraints. Good guidance for users.


30-56: Good quick-start examples with correct syntax. The middleware setup clearly shows environment variable usage, and the sign-in link example is properly formatted for copy-paste use. The redirect_uri parameter is correctly unescaped in the query string.


60-71: Clear explanation of middleware internals and session identity structure. Users can understand both the flow and what data becomes available after login. Well-organized and sufficiently detailed without being overwhelming.


108-121: Well-designed identity access example. Proper use of optional chaining ensures defensive programming. The example shows both decoded claims and raw tokens, which is helpful for different use cases.


123-135: Two well-explained route protection strategies. The manual guard example demonstrates security best practice (encodeURIComponent for URL parameters). Users have clear guidance for both convenience and explicit control scenarios.


137-147: Clear environment variable documentation. The example distinguishes required credentials from optional tuning, and the values align with quick-start examples. Good guidance for deployment setup.


149-151: Pragmatic sign-out documentation. The explanation acknowledges Keycloak's variation in logout behavior and offers both a simple and integrated approach. This sets appropriate expectations for users.


153-157: Practical troubleshooting guidance. Covers common OIDC issues (invalid_challenge, issuer mismatch) and local environment gotchas (http/https mixing). Users should be able to diagnose most problems independently.


159-167: Proper attribution and licensing. Related packages are clearly referenced, and the Apache 2.0 license is properly documented with copyright information.
