Description
Description
The public interfaces in src/server.ts
(CallbackResult, ServerOptions, CallbackServer) lack comprehensive JSDoc examples. This makes it harder for developers to understand how to use these interfaces effectively.
What needs to be done
Add detailed JSDoc comments with examples for:
CallbackResult
interface - Show different response scenariosServerOptions
interface - Demonstrate various configuration optionsCallbackServer
interface - Explain the lifecycle and usage patterns
Why this matters
Good documentation directly impacts developer experience:
- Reduces time to understand the API
- Prevents common mistakes
- Improves IDE autocomplete and tooltips
- Makes the library more approachable for newcomers
Implementation considerations
-
Real-world examples: Don't just document the obvious. Include examples of edge cases and common patterns
-
Alternative approach: Consider generating documentation from tests instead of static JSDoc. This ensures examples always work.
-
Interactive documentation: Should we create a documentation site with live examples using tools like Docusaurus or TypeDoc?
-
Consistency: Establish a documentation style guide for the entire project, not just these interfaces
Current state
/**
* Result object returned from OAuth callback containing authorization code or error details
*/
export interface CallbackResult {
/** Authorization code returned by OAuth provider */
code?: string;
// ... more fields
}
Suggested improvement
/**
* Result object returned from OAuth callback containing authorization code or error details
*
* @example
* // Successful authorization
* const result: CallbackResult = {
* code: "abc123xyz",
* state: "random-state-123"
* };
*
* @example
* // User denied access
* const errorResult: CallbackResult = {
* error: "access_denied",
* error_description: "User denied access to the application",
* state: "random-state-123"
* };
*
* @example
* // Invalid scope requested
* const scopeError: CallbackResult = {
* error: "invalid_scope",
* error_description: "The requested scope is invalid, unknown, or malformed",
* error_uri: "https://oauth.provider.com/docs/errors#invalid_scope"
* };
*/
export interface CallbackResult {
// ... interface definition
}
Additional documentation needs
- Add examples for different OAuth providers (GitHub, Google, Microsoft)
- Document common error scenarios and how to handle them
- Explain the relationship between these interfaces
- Add links to relevant OAuth RFCs
Skills required
- TypeScript
- JSDoc syntax
- Technical writing
- OAuth 2.0 knowledge
Difficulty
Easy - Great for someone who wants to contribute without deep code changes
