What it is

Lucia is a deprecated authentication library that provided a clean, simple abstraction for building secure user authentication flows in web applications. It wrapped session management, user identity verification, and credential handling into a unified TypeScript/JavaScript API. As of March 2025, the project recommends using the single-file reference implementation in code/auth_session.ts instead of the NPM package. The repository contains: the original Lucia npm package source (likely in code/ directory structure), a reference single-file implementation (code/auth_session.ts), a static documentation website (lucia-auth.com/), CI/CD workflows (.github/workflows/publish.yaml), and…

Start here

Open these first:

  • code/auth_session.ts — Single-file replacement for the deprecated Lucia NPM package; contains the complete authentication session implementation.
  • README — Announces deprecation (March 2025) and directs developers to the auth_session.ts file and external Auth Book resource.
  • LICENSE — MIT license defining legal usage terms for the codebase.
  • .github/workflows/publish.yaml — Defines CI/CD pipeline for publishing releases and managing repository automation.
  • biome.json — Configuration for code formatting and linting standards applied across the repository.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/lucia-auth/lucia.git && cd lucia. No package.json or lock file is evident in the file list, so verify the repository manifest before attempting npm install or `pnpm…

Daily commands:

No dev server or test command is evident from the file list. The code/auth_session.ts file is a reference implementation meant to be read and adapted, not executed directly. Verify biome.json for code formatting/lin…

Key cautions & unknowns

  • No tests detected in the complete Git tree
  • Critical: This project is deprecated and unmaintained. Do not use the NPM package in new projects. The code/auth_session.ts reference implementation is provided as-is without support. No environment variables,…
  • Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
