Are you tired of wrestling with authentication in your Next.js applications? Say goodbye to your worries! NextAuth.js is here to save your day. This open-source authentication solution is designed specifically for Next.js and Serverless. Let’s dive into the world of NextAuth.js and discover how it can make your life easier.
Getting started with NextAuth.js is as easy as pie. Just run the following command in your project:
npm install next-auth
NextAuth.js is a jack of all trades when it comes to authentication. It supports OAuth 1.0, 1.0A, 2.0, OpenID Connect, and even email/passwordless authentication. Here’s a sneak peek of how you can set up NextAuth.js with GitHub as an authentication provider:
import NextAuth from 'next-auth'
import GithubProvider from 'next-auth/providers/github'
export const authOptions = {
providers: [
GithubProvider({
clientId: process.env.GITHUB_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.GITHUB_SECRET,
}),
],
}
export default NextAuth(authOptions)
To use the useSession hook, you need to expose the session context, <SessionProvider />, at the top level of your application. Here’s how:
import { SessionProvider } from 'next-auth/react'
export default function App({ Component, pageProps: { session, ...pageProps } }) {
return (
<SessionProvider session={session}>
<Component {...pageProps} />
</SessionProvider>
)
}
The useSession() React Hook in NextAuth.js is your secret weapon to check if someone is signed in. Here’s how to wield it:
import { useSession, signIn, signOut } from 'next-auth/react'
export default function Component() {
const { data: session } = useSession()
if (session) {
return (
<>
Signed in as {session.user.email} <br />
<button onClick={() => signOut()}>Sign out</button>
</>
)
}
return (
<>
Not signed in <br />
<button onClick={() => signIn()}>Sign in</button>
</>
)
}
