STOP making these Authentication mistakes in Next.js

[@howardcohen1653]

I suppose the middleware is fast, but what if instead of doing the check in the layout file, I do the check in the template file?? The template rerenders everytime you refresh

[@emmanuelekpo5916]

Doing the check in template files is redundant code and not recommended as the codebase increases from my experience

[@howardcohen1653]

@emmanuelekpo5916 how can it be redundant?? If you create a route group then do the check in a template file, even in a bigger code base you'll still do the check in one place

[@mohammed.haydar]

What if we want to keep using auth.js (V5) as the main library instead of kinde-auth, how do we go about implementing the middleware authentication check?

[@raymondaxyz]

It works exactly the same. Authjs also recommend authentication on a multi level instead of relying on middleware alone.

Great content 💯

[@otisrancko]

This is a super great important...I used NextAuth and it failed to work on the midleware due to use of nodejs crypto library....so I resolved to using auth on all the pages
