Next Auth - Github & Credentials Example

The purpose of this project is to demonstrate how to integrate NextAuth.js into your application and utilize various credential providers for authentication. It showcases the setup and configuration process for the following providers:

• Github Provider
• Credentials Provider

For any extra info refer to: NextAuth.js Documentation

Providers Setup

Github Provider

You will need to create a new Github application by going here : github.com/settings/applications/new.

And you must set Authorization callback URL to: http://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback/github.

In production change localhost:3000 to your domain name.

As for the Application name and Homepage URL..etc you can set them to whatever you like.

After you create a new app you will have to:

1. Go to github.com/settings/developers.
2. On the right side click on OAuth Apps
3. Select the app you created
4. Copy the Client ID and save it.
5. Generate a new Client Secret and save it.

Now rename the file .env.example to .env.local and paste your Client ID and ``Client Secret` to their respective variables.

Credentials Provider

Credentials provider doesn't really need any settings all you need to do is go to src/configs/next-auth.ts and implement your authentication with your database:

CredentialsProvider({
      name: "Credentials",
      credentials: {
        username: {
          label: "Username",
          type: "text",
          placeholder: "Enter username",
        },
        password: { label: "Password", type: "password" },
      },
      async authorize(credentials) {
        // Validate credentials with your database here and return the user object
        const user = {
          id: "1",
          name: "Admin",
          email: "admin@example.com",
          image: "https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/80968727?v=4",
          username: "admin",
          password: "admin",
        };

        if (
          credentials?.username == user.username &&
          credentials.password == user.password
        ) {
          return user;
        } else {
          return null;
        }
      },
    }),

Running The Server

Note : Don't forget to set your JWT_SECRET and AUTH_SECRET in .env.local.

As for NEXTAUTH_URL you can refer to NextAuth.js Configuration Documentation.

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.
