Next.js Lucia Email/Password Auth with Drizzle
Type: Code
Framework: Next.js
CSS: Tailwind
- Motivation: Addressing the challenge of implementing Email+Password authentication in Next.js projects, this template introduces Lucia as a flexible and secure alternative to NextAuth.js for projects that require traditional password-based user authentication.
- Lucia vs. NextAuth.js:
- Flexibility: Lucia provides more customization options compared to the more opinionated NextAuth.js.
- Setup: While requiring more initial setup, Lucia offers greater adaptability for unique authentication needs.
- Key Features:
- Authentication: Supports both Credential and OAuth authentication methods.
- Authorization: Facilitates the management of public and protected routes.
- Email Verification: Enhances security by verifying user identities via email.
- Password Reset: Simplifies the password reset process with email links.
- Integration with tRPC: Enables access to session and user information similar to NextAuth, but with tRPC.
- Email Templates: Utilize React for crafting email templates with react-email.
- Database: Incorporates a MySQL database (Planetscale) optimized with Drizzle ORM for performance and safety.
- Database Migration: Comes with a script for easy database schema extensions.
- Tech Stack: Built with Next.js, Lucia, tRPC, Drizzle ORM, Planetscale, Tailwind CSS, Shadcn UI, React Hook Form, and React Email.
