Migration Plan: Authentication to Direct Client-Backend API

Latest Changes (Schema Extraction & Superforms Optimization)

✅ Created Shared Schema Files (comment_id: 2596207961)

Created src/lib/schemas/auth.ts with LoginSchema and RegisterSchema
Schemas match validation rules from login.remote.ts and register.remote.ts
Exported types for TypeScript support
Created src/lib/schemas/index.ts for clean imports

✅ Simplified Superforms Usage (comment_id: 2596200623, 2596207755)

Removed unnecessary onSubmit handler with cancel() call
In SPA mode, Superforms doesn't submit to server - no need to cancel
onUpdate is automatically called after client-side validation passes
Cleaner, more idiomatic Superforms SPA implementation

Before (Redundant Pattern):

const { form, errors, enhance } = superForm(data, {
  SPA: true,
  validators: valibot(LoginSchema),
  onSubmit: async ({ cancel }) => {
    cancel(); // Unnecessary in SPA mode
  },
  onUpdate: async ({ form }) => {
    // Handle API call
  }
});

After (Correct SPA Pattern):

const { form, errors, enhance } = superForm(data, {
  SPA: true,
  validators: valibot(LoginSchema),
  // onUpdate is called after validation - no onSubmit needed
  async onUpdate({ form }) {
    if (!form.valid) return;
    // Handle API call
  }
});

Schema Structure

Created Files:

src/lib/schemas/auth.ts - Login and Register schemas with Valibot validation
src/lib/schemas/index.ts - Clean exports

Benefits:

Single source of truth for validation rules
Reusable across components
Matches server-side schemas from remote functions
Better maintainability
Cleaner component code

Files Modified

src/lib/schemas/auth.ts (NEW) - Shared authentication schemas
src/lib/schemas/index.ts (NEW) - Schema exports
src/lib/components/auth/ClientLoginForm.svelte - Use shared schema, remove onSubmit
src/lib/components/auth/ClientRegisterForm.svelte - Use shared schema, remove onSubmit

Architecture Improvements

✅ DRY Principle: Single schema definitions, not duplicated in components
✅ Superforms Best Practice: Correct SPA mode usage per documentation
✅ Type Safety: Exported types for form inputs
✅ Maintainability: Changes to validation rules only need one place
✅ Consistency: Schemas match server-side validation exactly

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Migrate Authentication Functionality to Direct Client-Backend API Model</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Objective
As a proof of concept for the broader migration, refactor authentication functionality to use a direct client-to-backend API integration in the SvelteKit (Svelte 5) frontend. This will validate our new architecture and inform the full migration process.

Scope

Create new refactoring ApiService.ts into an object-oriented client API service that can be instantiated in both SSR and browser contexts.

Implement createClientApiClient(), ensuring instantiation logic fits the requirements for client-only authentication.

Integrate robust client-side access token management:

Ensure refresh tokens handled only via backend http-only cookies.

Harden logic for token renewal, race condition handling, and fallback strategies.

Update authentication flows (e.g., login, logout, session refresh) to use new direct API methods.

Remove reliance on SvelteKit remote functions or server-only utilities for authentication.

Remove/harden any server-side authentication artifacts (for this flow) as necessary.

Leave all the old logic in place—ensure the new approach is additive, not destructive, to enable progressive migration and POC validation.

Acceptance Criteria

Authentication and token handling occur strictly through the new client API, not through SvelteKit remote functions.

Secure http-only cookie use for refresh token is preserved.

Access token management works end-to-end (login, usage in requests, renewal, error cases).

No regressions in authentication flows or security.

Code reviewed and POC validated as reference for future migration steps.

+      !request.url.includes('/auth/register')


The 401 handling should also exclude /auth/refresh to prevent an infinite loop if the refresh token itself is invalid or expired. Currently, if the refresh endpoint returns 401, it will try to refresh again, creating an infinite loop.

Add /auth/refresh to the exclusion list:

if ( response.status === 401 && !request.url.includes('/auth/login') && !request.url.includes('/auth/register') && !request.url.includes('/auth/refresh') ) {

Suggested change

!request.url.includes('/auth/register')

!request.url.includes('/auth/register') &&

!request.url.includes('/auth/refresh')

Added /auth/refresh to exclusion list to prevent infinite loop if refresh token is invalid. (cee17d7)

The 401 handling should also exclude /auth/logout to prevent unnecessary token refresh attempts during logout. When a user is logging out, a 401 response is acceptable and shouldn't trigger a token refresh.

Update the exclusion list:

The import statement uses import { m } but the codebase convention is to use import * as m for paraglide messages. This inconsistency exists in multiple files throughout the codebase.

Change to:

This matches the pattern used in all other components (ErrorCard, TaskCard, UsersList, etc.).

The children prop should be typed as Snippet from 'svelte' instead of any for better type safety. This follows the pattern used throughout the codebase for snippet-based customization (e.g., in ui components like dialog-content, sheet-content, sidebar components).

import type { Snippet } from 'svelte'; interface Props { class?: string; children?: Snippet; }

+    // Use a more comprehensive email regex or rely on HTML5 validation

+    if (!emailRegex.test(email)) {
+      errors.email = m.validation_email_invalid();
+      return;


The custom email validation regex here is less strict than the Valibot v.email() validator used in the existing remote functions (e.g., login.remote.ts). This creates an inconsistency where the client-side validation might accept emails that the backend/server-side validation would reject.

Consider using Valibot for consistent validation:

import * as v from 'valibot'; const emailSchema = v.pipe(v.string(), v.email()); try { v.parse(emailSchema, email); } catch (error) { errors.email = m.validation_email_invalid(); return; }

Or if you want to keep it lightweight, document why client-side validation is intentionally more permissive.

The console.log statement should be removed or replaced with a debug-level logger. The existing ApiService.ts uses console.warn and console.error for logging, but doesn't use console.log for success cases. This debug log could clutter production console output.

Suggested change

console.log('Token refreshed successfully');

Removed debug console.log from token refresh success case. (cee17d7)

+      <Card.Content>
+        <!-- Use the reusable client login form -->
+        <ClientLoginForm redirectTo={redirectTo} />
+      </Card.Content>


In USAGE_EXAMPLES.md Example 1, the login page derives redirectTo directly from $page.url.searchParams.get('redirectTo') and passes it to ClientLoginForm, which then calls goto(redirectTo) after a successful login. This pattern creates an open redirect: an attacker can send a link like /login?redirectTo=https://evil.com and, after the user logs in, they will be redirected to an attacker-controlled site. To prevent this, restrict redirectTo to safe internal paths (e.g., only allow relative paths starting with / and disallow full URLs) or ignore/override untrusted values and always redirect to a fixed route such as the dashboard.

Fixed open redirect vulnerability by validating redirectTo parameter. Now only allows relative paths starting with / and blocks full URLs and protocol-relative URLs (//). (cee17d7)

we should return the status returned by API in such places. and no the backend sets only refresh token inside the httponly cookies, access token is still returned in the body just as it was before

Updated comments to clarify that backend returns access token in response body and only sets refresh token in HttpOnly cookie. The status from API is already being returned in the response object. (8b50eec)

+  if (!browser) {
+    return null;

why do we actually need those checks?

The browser checks prevent server-side execution errors. Without them, attempting to create ClientApiService or access import.meta.env during SSR would throw errors since these are browser-only operations. The checks ensure the functions return null gracefully during SSR and only instantiate services in the browser.

@copilot i have just added you context7 mcp server. please use it to better define how to use valibot in our use case.

Used context7 MCP server to research Valibot best practices. Enhanced the implementation with detailed documentation explaining flatten()'s return structure (root, nested, other) and improved comments about how safeParse and type-safe error handling work. The current implementation already follows Valibot best practices - using flatten<typeof Schema>() for type-safe field-level error extraction with proper optional chaining. (06b8964)

@copilot I don't like the current solution with the forms. I would like to add svelte superforms and use them instead. Here are some examples how to use them on client side:

Built with
Single-page applications (SPA)

It’s possible to use the whole Superforms library on the client, for example in single page applications or when you want to call an external API instead of the SvelteKit form actions. A SPA is easy to create with SvelteKit, documented here.
Usage

const { form, enhance } = superForm(data, {
SPA: true
validators: false | ClientValidationAdapter
})

By setting the SPA option to true, the form won’t be sent to the server when submitted. Instead, the client-side validators option will determine if the form is valid, and you can then use the onUpdate event as a submit handler, for example to call an external API with the form data.

Remember that the Superforms use:enhance must be added to the form for SPA to work.
Using +page.ts instead of +page.server.ts

Since SPA pages don’t have a server representation, you can use +page.ts to load initial data. Combined with a route parameter, we can make a CRUD-like page in a straightforward manner:

src/routes/user/[id]/+page.ts

import { error } from '@sveltejs/kit';
import { superValidate } from 'sveltekit-superforms';
import { zod } from 'sveltekit-superforms/adapters';
import { z } from 'zod';

export const _userSchema = z.object({
id: z.number().int().positive(),
name: z.string().min(2),
email: z.string().email()
});

export const load = async ({ params, fetch }) => {
const id = parseInt(params.id);

const request = await fetch(
https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users/${id}
);
if (request.status >= 400) throw error(request.status);

const userData = await request.json();
const form = await superValidate(userData, zod(_userSchema));

return { form };
};

If no data should be loaded from +page.ts, read further down about the defaults function.
Displaying the form

We display the form in +page.svelte like before, but with the SPA option added, and the onUpdate event now being used to validate the form data, instead of on the server:

src/routes/user/[id]/+page.svelte
<script lang="ts"> import { superForm, setMessage, setError } from 'sveltekit-superforms'; import { _userSchema } from './+page.js'; import { zod } from 'sveltekit-superforms/adapters'; let { data } = $props(); const { form, errors, message, constraints, enhance } = superForm( data.form, { SPA: true, validators: zod(_userSchema), onUpdate({ form }) { // Form validation if (form.data.email.includes('spam')) { setError(form, 'email', 'Suspicious email address.'); } else if (form.valid) { // TODO: Call an external API with form.data, await the result and update form setMessage(form, 'Valid data!'); } } } ); </script>
Edit user

{#if $message}
{$message}
{/if}
Name
{#if $errors.name}{$errors.name}{/if} E-mail
{#if $errors.email}{$errors.email}{/if}
Submit

The validation in onUpdate is almost the same as validating in a form action on the server. Nothing needs to be returned at the end since all modifications to the form parameter in onUpdate will update the form.

Of course, since this validation is done on the client, it’s easy to tamper with. See it as a convenient way of collecting the form data before doing a proper server validation through an external API.
Without a +page.ts file

Since you can’t use top-level await in Svelte components, you can’t use superValidate directly in +page.svelte, as it is async. But if you want the default values only for the schema, you can import defaults to avoid having a +page.ts.
<script lang="ts"> import { superForm, defaults } from 'sveltekit-superforms'; import { zod } from 'sveltekit-superforms/adapters'; import { loginSchema } from '$lib/schemas'; const { form, errors, enhance } = superForm(defaults(zod(loginSchema)), { SPA: true, validators: zod(loginSchema), onUpdate({ form }) { if (form.valid) { // TODO: Call an external API with form.data, await the result and update form } } }); </script>
With initial top-level data

If you have initial data in the top level of the component, you can pass it as a first parameter to defaults, but remember that it won’t be validated. There’s a trick though; if you want to show errors for the initial data, you can call validateForm directly after superForm. The validators option must be set for this to work:

const initialData = { name: 'New user' };

const { form, errors, enhance, validateForm } = superForm(
defaults(initialData, zod(loginSchema)), {
SPA: true,
validators: zod(loginSchema)
// ...
}
);

validateForm({ update: true });

@copilot I don't like the current solution with the forms. I would like to add svelte superforms and use them instead. Here are some examples how to use them on client side:

Superforms logo
...

Refactored ClientLoginForm to use Sveltekit Superforms with the Valibot adapter. Configured for SPA mode with client-side validation, leveraging use:enhance for progressive enhancement. The form now uses Superforms' built-in state management ($form, $errors, $submitting) while maintaining all existing Valibot validation rules and i18n messages. Added aria-invalid attributes for better accessibility. (db3caf3)

@copilot adjust the login, logout and register page to use the new forms - completely migrate in this case. also consider that the style colors etc. of the page must stay the same.

@copilot adjust the login, logout and register page to use the new forms - completely migrate in this case. also consider that the style colors etc. of the page must stay the same.

Migrated login and register pages to use the new Superforms-based client API components. Created ClientRegisterForm matching the complexity of the original (6 fields with full Valibot validation). Both pages now use the client API architecture while preserving all existing styles, colors, and layouts. Logout functionality already available via ClientLogoutButton component and clientLogout() helper. (b7b6d57)

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

cdn.jsdelivr.net
- Triggering command: /opt/hostedtoolcache/node/22.21.1/x64/bin/node node /home/REDACTED/work/frontend/frontend/node_modules/.bin/../@inlang/paraglide-js/bin/run.js compile --project ./project.inlang --outdir ./src/lib/paraglide th/mkcert (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

+      email: '',
+      name: '',
+      surname: '',
+      username: '',
+      password: '',
+      confirmPassword: ''
+    },


is this really neccessary? use context7 to understand how superforms work with valibot or if this is neccessary

simillary adjust login and other pages

Used context7 to research Superforms SPA mode. The onSubmit with cancel() is unnecessary - in SPA mode (SPA: true), the form never submits to the server. onUpdate is automatically called after client-side validation passes. Removed the redundant onSubmit handler from both ClientLoginForm and ClientRegisterForm. (8380e8b)

+      onSubmit: async ({ cancel }) => {
+        cancel();
+
+        if (!authService) {
+          toast.error('Authentication service not available');
+          return;
+        }
+      },


there is no info that it have to be modified anyway in the docs.

TheRealSeber · 2025-12-07T10:09:45Z

src/lib/components/auth/ClientRegisterForm.svelte

+  const authService = browser ? getClientAuthInstance() : null;
+
+  // Valibot schema matching the remote function pattern
+  const RegisterSchema = v.pipe(


we should define all of the schemas in seperate files to make the code cleaner. Or even better just use already existing one

Created src/lib/schemas/auth.ts with shared LoginSchema and RegisterSchema matching the existing remote function schemas. Both ClientLoginForm and ClientRegisterForm now import from this shared file. Schemas are single source of truth for validation rules. (8380e8b)
