Update index.d.ts

[vanthome]

Add constructor to OIDCContext class.

For me this is necessary as I want to use it like this:

    app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
      if (!ctx.oidc) {
        Object.defineProperty(ctx, 'oidc', { value: new provider.OIDCContext(ctx) });
      }

which is impossible with the current typings.

Hi @vanthome, can you elaborate on the use of this a bit more?

[vanthome]

Look here:

node-oidc-provider/lib/helpers/oidc_context.js

Line 28 in a842b71

constructor(ctx) {

The constructor requires a ctx but this is not reflected in the typings.

[panva]

I'm aware of the constructor. I'm just asking if you could elaborate on the use of your own constructed context. I'm curious, never encountered it before.

[vanthome]

The code is originally not from me but I think it's inspired by this:
https://github.com/panva/node-oidc-provider/blob/464ebab1d2fbb284f7ce126f43adaa627c31874e/lib/shared/context_ensure_oidc.js

[panva]

Oh man, i'm just curious why you need it (not the change in index.d.ts but the actuall use of it), that's all :)

[vanthome]

Ahh, You mean the module?
We are building a novel e-Commerce platform based on node and uServices and it's the perfect match:

What's the use you have for this?

    app.use(async (ctx, next) => {
      if (!ctx.oidc) {
        Object.defineProperty(ctx, 'oidc', { value: new provider.OIDCContext(ctx) });
      }

[vanthome]

we have a setup function that initialized the OIDC provider when the application starts up.

      setupOIDC({
        app: this.app,
        issuer,
        logger: this.logger,
        cfg: this.cfg
      });

And the previously quoted code is then executed in that setupOIDC function.

I don’t get what that’s good for but anyway, thanks for your feedback and contribution.

[vanthome]

great, will show you the whole thing when we published it. Can you then make a new release pls?

[panva]

I will do a release when there are other, more pressing, unreleased items or periodically on sunday when there are trivial updates such as this one.

[panva]

Released, thanks for your contribution.
