Fixes #153 This is my attempt at https://github.com/zeit/next.js/issues/153 Following @rauchg instructions: - it uses an authentication helper across pages which returns a token if there's one - it has session synchronization across tabs - <strike>I deployed a passwordless backend on `now.sh` (https://with-cookie-api.now.sh, [src](https://github.com/j0lv3r4/next.js-with-cookies-api))</strike> The backend is included in the repository and you can deploy everything together by running `now` Also, from reviewing other PRs, I made sure to: - use [isomorphic-unfetch](https://www.npmjs.com/package/isomorphic-unfetch). - use [next-cookies](https://www.npmjs.com/package/next-cookies). Here's a little demo:

# Example app utilizing cookie-based authentication
|
|
|
|
## How to use
|
|
|
|
### Using `create-next-app`
|
|
|
|
Download [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/segmentio/create-next-app) to bootstrap the example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
npm i -g create-next-app
|
|
create-next-app --example with-cookie-auth with-cookie-auth-app
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Download manually
|
|
|
|
Download the example [or clone the repo](https://github.com/zeit/next.js):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl https://codeload.github.com/zeit/next.js/tar.gz/canary | tar -xz --strip=2 next.js-canary/examples/with-cookie-auth
|
|
cd with-cookie-auth
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Install it and run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Deploy it to the cloud with [now](https://zeit.co/now) ([download](https://zeit.co/download))
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
now
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The idea behind the example
|
|
|
|
In this example, we authenticate users and store a token in a cookie. The example only shows how the user session works, keeping a user logged in between pages.
|
|
|
|
This example is backend agnostic and uses [isomorphic-unfetch](https://www.npmjs.com/package/isomorphic-unfetch) to do the API calls on the client and the server.
|
|
|
|
The repo includes a minimal passwordless backend built with [Micro](https://www.npmjs.com/package/micro) and it logs the user in with a GitHub username and saves the user id from the API call as token.
|
|
|
|
Session is syncronized across tabs. If you logout your session gets logged out on all the windows as well. We use the HOC `withAuthSync` for this.
|
|
|
|
The helper function `auth` helps to retrieve the token across pages and redirects the user if not token was found. |
