How to setup Lucia auth in Next.js (in 8 minutes)

[@savdevv]

The 8 min vids continue! Keep it up Cody, Your onto something good here!

[@allenbythesea]

good stuff, currently auth is some of the most unnecessarily complex stuff in software dev. This goes back towards simplification.

[@codingwithjamal]

@@allenbythesea Whats the complex form of auth?

[@iraniannuclearprogram3382]

Simplification? Are you delusional? This is complete mess.

[@allenbythesea]

@@iraniannuclearprogram3382 it is but its also way less complex than a lot of the stuff we have today. I am of the opinion that the insane complexity of auth systems these days makes them considerably less secure. Which is why this, though complex, is less complex then configuring / deploying a lot of the systems available today.

[@codingwithjamal]

@@iraniannuclearprogram3382 I was asking whats a more complex version if auth, this is simple to me

[@MasterEd725]

Absolutely loved this video! It's short, concise, and straight to the point. Thanks for making such an informative piece so easy to understand. Great job Cody!

[@shaked1233]

There is no shorter, better, more straight to the point, lucia auth implementation video than this. Thanks

[@jitxhere]

Cody thanks for this. I will extend this and make it fully functional like a complete auth email verification, password reset, 2 factor auth, google auth, GitHub auth and will add rate limiting

[@inderjotsingh5868]

bro , can you share the repo

[@justinoconnell7307]

Great video, I got it up and running. I looked at the lucia docs few weeks back and couldn't be bothered to figure it out myself at the time

[@BreuXBranco]

You’ve been killing with these tuts my dude

[@ItsLaxe]

had to figure out lucia auth (with oauth) a few weeks back. it was a pain with the docs but overall the code is pretty simple, glad i set it up instead of relying on another auth library

[@iraniannuclearprogram3382]

Now you rely on this messy auth library with completely braindead docs. Congrats

[@kushyzee]

​@@iraniannuclearprogram3382I see you in most comments trying to downgrade Lucia, are you paid to do this? Yeah, Lucia is a mess and nextAuth is awesome, nice take

Not chaotic, this was good. Thanks.

I really like these shorter videos!

[@nianight]

2:55 was very unfortunate cut. How did you fix that wrong type error?

[@ga1az]

Delete the _: any export async function signup(formData: FormData){}

[@LDev00]

Cannot find name ‘signup’. Import it

[@nasko235679]

The 1 thing I don't like about Lucia is that it queries the DB every time you need to check for authentication. I guess that's not a Lucia issue, more of a DB Session issue, but if you're interracting with an api/trying to fetch data securely that's a lot of queries to make sure you get the data to the properly authenticated user every time.

[@yonluc]

If you are fine with it , you can try to cache the result of the check for authentications for a short period of time (5mins).

[@WebDevCody]

I think it’s an issue when it’s actually a measurable issue. If your server and database are close in proximity (which they should honestly be), we are talking milliseconds to look up a single session record. You can also use reddis

[@SirMeowMeow]

Sounds like you just don't like sessions. Lucia can do stateless JWT too.

[@nasko235679]

@@SirMeowMeow I love sessions because they give you the ability to authorize users in real time unlike JWT tokens. I just don't know how bad it is for performance to have to do an additional query on every authorized request to the server. As Cody said, it's not an issue until it's measurable.

[@hello19286]

This is a benefit in certain applications, especially ones that need a high level of security. Sometimes you want to ban users/hackers and instantly revoke their access. This becomes even more important for fintech.

[@alexandergeorgesquire220]

Much appreciated and please do make that library

[@Fujiyama_Senju]

What colour theme is he using?

[@ronny-andrebendiksen4137]

You should write that library specifically for Drizzle and Next.js!

Please don’t hurt me

[@northerncoder]

Any chance you could attempt to create a convex adapter for Lucia. So far I have been unable to do so.

[@WebDevCody]

join my discord and ask Daria, he has tried hooking convex up with lucia I think

[@w_tchd0g]

great video! ngl i still used next-auth cuz they got far better documentation that lucia... dont want to rely on yt videos for something important like auth... UPD: i use lucia now lol

[@WebDevCody]

😆

[@PeterSahanaya]

Lol now lucia is deprecated 😂

[@joostschuur]

Are there any advantaged of Next Auth at this point? Other than momentum? Looks like, thanks to artic, Lucia also has a ton of auth providers it can use.

[@WebDevCody]

Because building all those login flows took me a lot of time and I’m still fixing small bugs in that repo. It’s nice having something that basically works out of the box. But I guess that’s what you mean by momentum

[@ben-gibb]

Shouldn’t that validate requests be in the middleware?

[@ben-gibb]

Sorry, serious question.. is it or no?

[@PURPLECUT]

does lucia do csrf for you? doesn't seem like it

[@steiner1052]

Thank you! one question.. What is the advantage of Lucia vs Next-auth?

[@SirMeowMeow]

Lucia is far more customized but you must do more yourself.

[@jeongjehoon2]

Next-Auth is totally shit. It's TOO opininated and abstracted for just auth. It makes you crazy when little quirks pops up that you cannot fix until NextAuth team fixes or manually edit them. Easier Usage = More Abstraction = Less Customization, Less Flexible

[@Damien1990UK]

Thank you for the videos. Currently going through the online auction app video and get stuck early on as apparently Next.js, drizzle/postgres and Auth.js don't get on well together with error messages like the one below appearing: Module build failed: UnhandledSchemeError: Reading from "cloudflare:sockets" is not handled by plugins (Unhandled scheme). Hopefully switching the auth to Lucia will help as had no problems before putting the auth in.

[@PeterSahanaya]

And now lucia auth deprecated 😂

[@kal.leroux]

sorry but I have to ask, what type of content do you want to make because what you are doing now is just so average and doesn't have any vision or goal you are just doing thing that doesn't have or give a plus to your subscriber. I am not trying to make fun of you or anything else it's just that I feel like what you are doing with this channel now is really different than what it was before ( before I was really feeling like you wanted to educate you viewer and help them become more senior )

[@WebDevCody]

Thanks for the feedback! I’m just trying some new content honestly. At this point I’ve made so many videos that I’m a bit burned out, so these type of videos are fun to challenge myself and some comments I’m getting show people like the concise nature of the videos.

Would love to see what you would come up with for a auth library tailored for drizzle and nextjs! Getting Lucia to work with the Next middleware is also a huge pain 🥲
