Authentication

This template comes pre-configured with authentication support. We typically use robust solutions like NextAuth.js (Auth.js) or Clerk depending on the specific product.

Environment Variables

To enable authentication, you need to set up the necessary environment variables in your .env file.

# NextAuth Secret (generate with: openssl rand -base64 32)
NEXTAUTH_SECRET="your-secret-key"
NEXTAUTH_URL="http://localhost:3000"

# OAuth Providers (examples)
GITHUB_ID=""
GITHUB_SECRET=""
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=""
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=""

Configuring Providers

Authentication providers are configured in src/lib/auth.ts or src/app/api/auth/[...nextauth]/route.ts.

You can add or remove providers by importing them from next-auth/providers and adding them to the providers array in the configuration object.

Protecting Routes

You can protect routes using middleware or server-side checks.

See src/middleware.ts for the current protection logic.
