Next.js Auth Tutorial with RSCs and Server Actions

This tutorial with @samselikoff covers the following:
▶ Getting started using the Authkit - Next.js integration library: github.com/workos/authkit-nextjs
▶ Setting up environment variables, configuring the callback route and middleware, implementing signIn and signOut functionality
▶ Protecting routes in the Next.js app from unauthenticated users with the getUser function

Love these quick start tutorials @SamSelikoff. You're great at keeping things clear and achievable.

I don’t like the idea of collocating auth checks on the pages themselves. It would be very easy to forget to protect a page. It happens all the time to the best of us. Particularly at the API level where it’s harder to detect that you accidentally made it public. I would lock everything down with middleware and then only white list the pages you want to be public.

Right!

[@mDHARYL]

Yes

[@paul_asjes]

We've heard you and we're adding this as an option to authkit-nextjs!
