In this tutorial, I will walk you through how I set up the NextAuthJS package to add authentication to my Next 15 JS application.

Authentication Setup and Configuration

🔐 NextAuth 5 streamlines authentication setup in Next.js 15 projects, with improved documentation and simplified configuration steps.

🛠️ Create an auth.ts file to add desired providers in the providers array, which automatically detects environmental tokens from local and vite config files.

Route Protection and Handling

🛡️ Utilize Next.js middleware to specify protected routes and implement authentication checks, redirecting unauthenticated users to the main page.

🔀 NextAuth 5 offers pre-built route handlers for authentication logic, easily importable and usable in your routes.

Session Management and User Experience

👤 The session provider in NextAuth 5 enables access to session status in React components, allowing for conditional rendering of authenticated content.

🔌 NextAuth 5 provides pre-built handlers for popular authentication providers like GitHub, simplifying integration in Next.js 15 projects.
