# Fullstack Authentication Example with Next.js and NextAuth.js

With Railway Integration

[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fprisma%2Ffullstack-prisma-nextjs-blog&env=SECRET,GITHUB_ID,GITHUB_SECRET&project-name=fullstack-prisma-nextjs-blog&repo-name=fullstack-prisma-nextjs-blog&integration-ids=oac_eGEyJUf8jDjOQSCNJiyYRbfX)

Without the Railway integration

[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fprisma%2Ffullstack-prisma-nextjs-blog&env=DATABASE_URL,SECRET,GITHUB_ID,GITHUB_SECRET&project-name=fullstack-prisma-nextjs-blog&repo-name=fullstack-prisma-nextjs-blog)

This is a starter that shows how to implement a **fullstack app in TypeScript with [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/)** with the following stack:

- [React](https://reactjs.org/) (frontend)
- [Next.js API routes](https://nextjs.org/docs/api-routes/introduction)
- [Prisma Client](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/tools-and-interfaces/prisma-client) (backend).
- [NextAuth.js](https://next-auth.js.org/) for authentication.
- [PostgreSQL](http://postgresql.org/) as the database of choice.

Before you deploy the application to Vercel, ensure you
- (Optional) Sign in to Railway and create a PostgreSQL database
- Create a separate GitHub OAuth application before you deploy your application
- Update the **Authorization callback URL** with the URL of the deployed app after successfully deploying the app

Note that the app uses a mix of server-side rendering with `getServerSideProps` (SSR) and static site generation with `getStaticProps` (SSG). When possible, SSG is used to make database queries already at build-time (e.g. when fetching the [public feed](./pages/index.tsx)). Sometimes, the user requesting data needs to be authenticated, so SSR is being used to render data dynamically on the server-side (e.g. when viewing a user's [drafts](./pages/drafts.tsx)).

## Getting started

### 1. Download and install dependencies

Clone this repository:

```
git clone [email protected]:prisma/prisma-nextjs-blog.git
```

Install npm dependencies:

```
cd prisma-nextjs-blog
npm install
```

### 2. Create and seed the database

If you're using Docker on your computer, the following script to set up PostgreSQL database using the `docker-compose.yml` file at the root of your project:

```
npm run db:up
```

Run the following command to create your PostgreSQL database. This also creates the `User`, `Post`, `Account`, `Session` and `VerificationToken` tables that are defined in [`prisma/schema.prisma`](./prisma/schema.prisma):

```
npx prisma migrate dev --name init
```

When `npx prisma migrate dev` is executed against a newly created database, seeding is also triggered. The seed file in [`prisma/seed.ts`](./prisma/seed.ts) will be executed and your database will be populated with the sample data.

### 3. Configuring your authentication provider

In order to get this example to work, you need to configure the [GitHub](https://next-auth.js.org/providers/github) authentication provider from NextAuth.js.

#### Configuring the GitHub authentication provider

Expand to learn how you can configure the GitHub authentication provider

First, log into your [GitHub](https://github.com/) account.

Then, navigate to [**Settings**](https://github.com/settings/profile), then open to [**Developer Settings**](https://github.com/settings/apps), then switch to [**OAuth Apps**](https://github.com/settings/developers).

![](https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--fBiGBXbE--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://i.imgur.com/4eQrMAs.png)

Clicking on the **Register a new application** button will redirect you to a registration form to fill out some information for your app. The **Authorization callback URL** should be the Next.js `/api/auth` route.

An important thing to note here is that the **Authorization callback URL** field only supports a single URL, unlike e.g. Auth0, which allows you to add additional callback URLs separated with a comma. This means if you want to deploy your app later with a production URL, you will need to set up a new GitHub OAuth app.

![](https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--v7s0OEs_--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://i.imgur.com/tYtq5fd.png)

Click on the **Register application** button, and then you will be able to find your newly generated **Client ID** and **Client Secret**. Copy and paste this info into the [`.env`](./env) file in the root directory.

The resulting section in the `.env` file might look like this:

```
# GitHub oAuth
GITHUB_ID=6bafeb321963449bdf51
GITHUB_SECRET=509298c32faa283f28679ad6de6f86b2472e1bff
```

### 4. Start the app

```
npm run dev
```

The app is now running, navigate to [`http://localhost:3000/`](http://localhost:3000/) in your browser to explore its UI.

## Evolving the app

Evolving the application typically requires three steps:

1. Migrate your database using Prisma Migrate
1. Update your server-side application code
1. Build new UI features in React

For the following example scenario, assume you want to add a "profile" feature to the app where users can create a profile and write a short bio about themselves.

### 1. Migrate your database using Prisma Migrate

The first step is to add a new table, e.g. called `Profile`, to the database. You can do this by adding a new model to your [Prisma schema file](./prisma/schema.prisma) file and then running a migration afterwards:

```diff
// schema.prisma

model Post {
id Int @default(autoincrement()) @id
title String
content String?
published Boolean @default(false)
author User? @relation(fields: [authorId], references: [id])
authorId Int
}

model User {
id Int @default(autoincrement()) @id
name String?
email String @unique
posts Post[]
+ profile Profile?
}

+model Profile {
+ id Int @default(autoincrement()) @id
+ bio String?
+ userId Int @unique
+ user User @relation(fields: [userId], references: [id])
+}
```

Once you've updated your data model, you can execute the changes against your database with the following command:

```
npx prisma migrate dev
```

### 2. Update your application code

You can now use your `PrismaClient` instance to perform operations against the new `Profile` table. Here are some examples:

#### Create a new profile for an existing user

```ts
const profile = await prisma.profile.create({
data: {
bio: "Hello World",
user: {
connect: { email: "[email protected]" },
},
},
});
```

#### Create a new user with a new profile

```ts
const user = await prisma.user.create({
data: {
email: "[email protected]",
name: "John",
profile: {
create: {
bio: "Hello World",
},
},
},
});
```

#### Update the profile of an existing user

```ts
const userWithUpdatedProfile = await prisma.user.update({
where: { email: "[email protected]" },
data: {
profile: {
update: {
bio: "Hello Friends",
},
},
},
});
```

### 3. Build new UI features in React

Once you have added a new endpoint to the API (e.g. `/api/profile` with `/POST`, `/PUT` and `GET` operations), you can start building a new UI component in React. It could e.g. be called `profile.tsx` and would be located in the `pages` directory.

In the application code, you can access the new endpoint via `fetch` operations and populate the UI with the data you receive from the API calls.

## Switch to another database (e.g. PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB)

If you want to try this example with another database than SQLite, you can adjust the the database connection in [`prisma/schema.prisma`](./prisma/schema.prisma) by reconfiguring the `datasource` block.

Learn more about the different connection configurations in the [docs](https://www.prisma.io/docs/reference/database-reference/connection-urls).

Expand for an overview of example configurations with different databases

### PostgreSQL

For PostgreSQL, the connection URL has the following structure:

```prisma
datasource db {
provider = "postgresql"
url = "postgresql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DATABASE?schema=SCHEMA"
}
```

Here is an example connection string with a local PostgreSQL database:

```prisma
datasource db {
provider = "postgresql"
url = "postgresql://janedoe:mypassword@localhost:5432/notesapi?schema=public"
}
```

### MySQL

For MySQL, the connection URL has the following structure:

```prisma
datasource db {
provider = "mysql"
url = "mysql://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT/DATABASE"
}
```

Here is an example connection string with a local MySQL database:

```prisma
datasource db {
provider = "mysql"
url = "mysql://janedoe:mypassword@localhost:3306/notesapi"
}
```

### Microsoft SQL Server

Here is an example connection string with a local Microsoft SQL Server database:

```prisma
datasource db {
provider = "sqlserver"
url = "sqlserver://localhost:1433;initial catalog=sample;user=sa;password=mypassword;"
}
```

### MongoDB

Here is an example connection string with a local MongoDB database:

```prisma
datasource db {
provider = "mongodb"
url = "mongodb://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST/DATABASE?authSource=admin&retryWrites=true&w=majority"
}
```
Because MongoDB is currently in [Preview](https://www.prisma.io/docs/about/releases#preview), you need to specify the `previewFeatures` on your `generator` block:

```
generator client {
provider = "prisma-client-js"
previewFeatures = ["mongodb"]
}
```
