> Authentication built for Nuxt 4! Easily add authentication via OAuth providers, credentials or Email Magic URLs!

## Quick Start

```sh
npx nuxi@latest module add sidebase-auth
```

<details>
  <summary>Or install manually</summary>

  #### 1. Install the package as a dev dependency

  ```sh
  npm i -D @sidebase/nuxt-auth

  pnpm i -D @sidebase/nuxt-auth

  yarn add --dev @sidebase/nuxt-auth
  ```

  #### 2. Add the modules to your `nuxt.config.ts`

  ```ts
  export default defineNuxtConfig({
    modules: ['@sidebase/nuxt-auth']
  })
  ```
</details>

Then visit the [Quick Start documentation](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/getting-started/introduction) to continue the configuration of your app!

## Features

`@sidebase/nuxt-auth` is a library with the goal of supporting authentication for any universal Nuxt 4 application. At the moment three providers are supported:
- [`authjs`](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/authjs/quick-start): for non-static apps that want to use [Auth.js / NextAuth.js](https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth) to offer the reliability & convenience of a 23k star library to the Nuxt 4 ecosystem with a native developer experience (DX)
- [`local`](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/local/quick-start): for static pages that rely on an external backend with a credential flow for authentication. The Local Provider also supports refresh tokens since `v0.9.0`. Read more [here](https://auth.sidebase.io/upgrade/version-0.9.0).

You can find a full list of our features, as well as which provider supports each feature [on our docs](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/getting-started/choose-provider).

### Authentication providers:
- OAuth (e.g., Github, Google, Twitter, Azure, ...)
- Custom OAuth (write it yourself)
- Credentials (password + username)
- Email Magic URLs

### Application Side Session Managment using [`useAuth`](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/application-side/session-access#useauth-composable)
- Session fetching with `status`, `data` and `lastRefreshedAt`
- Methods to `getSession`, `getCsrfToken`, `getProviders`, `signIn` and `signOut`
- Full TypeScript support for all methods and properties

### Application protection
- Application-side middleware protection for the [full application](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/application-side/protecting-pages#global-middleware) or [specific pages](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/application-side/protecting-pages#local-middleware)
- Server-side [middleware](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/authjs/server-side/session-access#server-middleware) and [endpoint protection](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/authjs/server-side/session-access#endpoint-protection)

### Advanced features for session life-cycle management:
- Pre-built and [customizable refresh behaviour](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/application-side/configuration#sessionrefresh)
  - Refresh the session periodically
  - Refresh the session on tab-refocus
  - One time session fetch on page load, afterwards for specific actions (e.g., on navigation)
- Completly configure the Refresh behaviour of your application using the [`RefreshHandler`](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/application-side/configuration#refreshhandler)

### Server Side utilities
- Session access using [`getServerSession`](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/authjs/server-side/session-access)
- JWT Token access using [`getToken`](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/authjs/server-side/jwt-access)
- Server-side [middleware](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/authjs/server-side/session-access#server-middleware) and [endpoint protection](https://auth.sidebase.io/guide/authjs/server-side/session-access#endpoint-protection)

## Demo Page

Want to get a preview of what `@sidebase/nuxt-auth` has to offer? Visit the [`nuxt-auth` demo page here](https://nuxt-auth-example.sidebase.io/). Peak into the [demo source-code here](https://github.com/sidebase/nuxt-auth-example).

## Development

This project uses `pnpm` for development.

- Run `pnpm dev:prepare` to generate type stubs.
- Use `pnpm dev` inside a [module playground directory](#module-playground) to start a playground in development mode.
- Run `pnpm lint` to run eslint
- Run `pnpm typecheck` to run typescheck via tsc
- Run `pnpm publish --access public` to publish
- Run `pnpm publish --access public --tag next` to publish a pre-release

### Module Playground

This module also has it's own playground:

```sh
> git clone https://github.com/sidebase/nuxt-auth

> cd nuxt-auth

> cd playground-[PROVIDER]

> pnpm i

> pnpm dev:prepare

> pnpm dev
```

#### Additional playground commands

- Run `pnpm dev:prepare` to generate type stubs.
- Run `pnpm dev` to start the playground.
- Run `pnpm test:e2e` to run the end-to-end tests.
- Run `pnpm lint` to run eslint
- Run `pnpm typecheck` to run typescheck via tsc

#### Testing different Providers

We have one playground per provider:
- [`authjs`](./playground-authjs)
- [`local`](./playground-local)

##### How to test static Nuxt 4 apps?

To test static Nuxt 4 apps we want to run a static frontend and a separate backend that will take over authentication:
1. `playground-local/nuxt.config.ts`: Add `baseURL: 'http://localhost:3001'` to the `auth`-config
2. Start the static frontend:
    ```sh
    cd playground-local

    pnpm generate

    pnpm start
    ```
3. Start the authentication backend (we use a second instance of the same Nuxt 4 app):
    ```sh
    cd playground-local

    pnpm dev

    # A second Nuxt app should now be running on http://localhost:3001.
    # We use this purely for authentication
    ```
4.  Visit [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) -> this should open the static application. Performing any auth-related actions, the app should send requests to the backend running on port `3001`
