📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change set enhances the Nuxt integration package by introducing support for machine authentication tokens. It updates the auth property on the H3EventContext interface to a new intersection type combining SessionAuthObject with a generic authentication function interface. The clerkMiddleware is modified to always accept any token type and to provide token-type-aware retrieval of authentication objects through a proxy with deprecation warnings. The getAuth function is refactored with a deprecation notice and updated to return a SessionAuthObject. The createInitialState utility function's parameter type is generalized to a broader AuthObject type. Additionally, a new type definition file is added to provide strong typing for authentication functions with multiple overloads related to token acceptance. A new changeset file documents a minor version update for the package. Tests are expanded to cover machine authentication scenarios, including type inference tests and middleware behavior validation. The Vitest configuration is updated to enable type checking during tests.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~15–20 minutes

  • Complexity: Moderate. The changes involve type system enhancements, function signature refactoring, middleware behavior adjustments, and the addition of comprehensive type definitions. The scope is limited to a handful of files, requiring careful validation of types and API consistency without introducing complex algorithms.

35-38: Remove console.log from test mock

The console.log statement should be removed from the test mock as it adds unnecessary noise to test output and isn't needed for testing functionality.

-  toAuth: () => {
-    console.log('Mock toAuth() called, returning:', AUTH_RESPONSE);
-    return AUTH_RESPONSE;
-  },
+  toAuth: () => AUTH_RESPONSE,

51-119: Consider adding machine authentication specific tests

While the existing tests cover the basic middleware functionality, consider adding tests that specifically verify machine authentication scenarios, such as:

  • Testing with different token types (session vs machine tokens)
  • Verifying the new authentication properties are properly handled
  • Testing authentication failures and edge cases specific to machine auth

Since this PR introduces machine authentication, it would be valuable to add test cases that specifically exercise this new functionality to ensure robust coverage.

Whenever reviewing a pull request, if there are any changes that could impact security, always tag @clerk/security in the PR.

Security-impacting changes include, but are not limited to:

  • Changes to authentication logic or mechanisms (e.g. login, session handling, token issuance)
  • Any modification to access control, authorization checks, or role-based permissions
  • Introduction or modification of hashing algorithms, signature verification, or cryptographic primitives
  • Handling of sensitive data (e.g. passwords, tokens, secrets, PII)
  • Integration with external identity providers (e.g. SSO, OAuth, OpenID Connect)
  • Modifications to security headers, cookie flags, CORS policies, or CSRF protections
  • Bypass mechanisms (e.g. feature flags, testing overrides) that could weaken protections
  • Changes to rate limiting, abuse prevention, or input validation

If you're unsure whether a change is security-relevant, err on the side of caution and tag @clerk/security.

Any time that you tag @clerk/security, please do so explicitly in a code comment, rather than within a collapsed section in a coderabbit comment, such as the "recent review details" section. If you do use the team name in any thinking or non-direct-code-comment content, it can be referred to as "clerk security team" to avoid accidentally printing the tag which sends a notification to the team.

9-18: LGTM: Mock data expanded to match new authentication interface

The addition of these authentication properties aligns well with the machine authentication feature being introduced. The mock data includes all the necessary fields for testing the enhanced authentication response.

This is a shared helper across our SDKs to get the actual auth object based on the acceptsToken value. It is unit tested there.

We're deprecating this helper in favor of event.context.auth() to follow Nuxt conventions where event.context is the standard pattern for accessing request-scoped data.

This function is not documented as well so it's safe to deprecated. We already use event.context.auth() in our docs
