Stytch Node.js Library

The Stytch Node library makes it easy to use the Stytch user infrastructure API in server-side JavaScript applications.

It pairs well with the Stytch Web SDK or your own custom authentication flow.

This library is tested with all current LTS versions of Node - 18, and 20.

Install

npm install stytch
# or
yarn add stytch

Usage

You can find your API credentials in the Stytch Dashboard.

This client library supports all of Stytch's live products:

B2C

B2B

Shared

Example B2C usage

Create an API client:

const stytch = require("stytch");
// Or as an ES6 module:
// import * as stytch from "stytch";

const client = new stytch.Client({
  project_id: "project-live-c60c0abe-c25a-4472-a9ed-320c6667d317",
  secret: "secret-live-80JASucyk7z_G8Z-7dVwZVGXL5NT_qGAQ2I=",
});

Send a magic link by email:

client.magicLinks.email
  .loginOrCreate({
    email: "sandbox@stytch.com",
    login_magic_link_url: "https://example.com/authenticate",
    signup_magic_link_url: "https://example.com/authenticate",
  })
  .then((res) => console.log(res))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

Authenticate the token from the magic link:

client.magicLinks
  .authenticate({ token: "DOYoip3rvIMMW5lgItikFK-Ak1CfMsgjuiCyI7uuU94=" })
  .then((res) => console.log(res))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

Example B2B usage

Create an API client:

const stytch = require("stytch");
// Or as an ES6 module:
// import * as stytch from "stytch";

const client = new stytch.B2BClient({
  project_id: "project-live-c60c0abe-c25a-4472-a9ed-320c6667d317",
  secret: "secret-live-80JASucyk7z_G8Z-7dVwZVGXL5NT_qGAQ2I=",
});

Create an organization

client.organizations
  .create({
    organization_name: "Acme Co",
    organization_slug: "acme-co",
    email_allowed_domains: ["acme.co"],
  })
  .then((res) => console.log(res))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

Log the first user into the organization

client.magicLinks
  .loginOrSignup({
    organization_id: "organization-id-from-create-response-...",
    email_address: "admin@acme.co",
  })
  .then((res) => console.log(res))
  .catch((err) => console.error(err));

TypeScript support

This package includes TypeScript declarations for the Stytch API.

Request and response types will always follow the format $Vertical$Product$Method(Request|Response) - for example the B2BMagicLinksAuthenticateRequest maps to the B2B Authenticate Magic Link endpoint, while the B2CMagicLinksAuthenticateRequest maps to the B2C Authenticate Magic Link endpoint.

Handling Errors

Stytch errors always include an error_type field you can use to identify them:

client.magicLinks
  .authenticate({ token: "not-a-token!" })
  .then((res) => console.log(res))
  .catch((err) => {
    if (err.error_type === "invalid_token") {
      console.log("Whoops! Try again?");
    }
  });

Learn more about errors in the docs.

Customizing the HTTPS Agent

The Stytch client uses undici, the Node fetch implementation. You can pass a custom undici Dispatcher to the client for use in requests. For example, you can enable HTTPS Keep-Alive to avoid the cost of establishing a new connection with the Stytch servers on every request.

const dispatcher = new undici.Agent({
  keepAliveTimeout: 6e6, // 10 minutes in MS
  keepAliveMaxTimeout: 6e6, // 10 minutes in MS
});

const client = new stytch.Client({
  project_id: "project-live-c60c0abe-c25a-4472-a9ed-320c6667d317",
  secret: "secret-live-80JASucyk7z_G8Z-7dVwZVGXL5NT_qGAQ2I=",
  dispatcher,
});
