Description

Fixed the SessionListParams type definition in SessionApi.ts to correctly use snake_case (client_id and user_id) instead of camelCase. This ensures proper alignment with the Clerk Backend API specifications for the GET /sessions endpoint.

How to test:

  1. Run pnpm test to ensure existing tests pass successfully.
  2. Verify that SessionListParams expects client_id and user_id parameters when interacting with the session endpoints.

Checklist

  • pnpm test runs as expected.
  • pnpm build runs as expected.
  • (If applicable) JSDoc comments have been added or updated for any package exports
  • (If applicable) Documentation has been updated

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The exported SessionListParams type now uses client_id and user_id instead of clientId and userId. Both properties remain optional. No runtime logic or control flow changed.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a7716

The PR changes public TypeScript parameter names from camelCase to snake_case, which may break existing callers while documentation still advertises the old names. Merge should wait for compatibility aliases or explicit acceptance and migration guidance for this breaking change.

Preserve compatibility for SessionListParams field names.

SessionListParams now exposes only client_id and user_id, although getSessionList passes these fields to buildRequest, which already converts query keys with snakecase-keys. The previous clientId and userId names therefore produced the same wire parameters. This change can break existing TypeScript callers, and the method JSDoc still documents the old names. Retain deprecated aliases or document a breaking change with migration guidance.
