Next Auth

Next.js Authentication Sample with NextAuth and MongoDB

Welcome to the Next.js Authentication Sample repository! This project demonstrates a basic authentication flow using NextAuth in a Next.js application, with MongoDB as the database and Mongoose as the ODM (Object Data Modeling) library. The sample includes functionalities for user registration, login, and logout, showcasing a straightforward approach to handling user authentication in modern web applications.

Features

• User Registration: Allows new users to create an account by providing their credentials.
• User Login: Enables existing users to log in using their registered email and password.
• User Logout: Provides a secure way for users to log out of their session.
• Session Management: Utilizes NextAuth to manage user sessions, ensuring secure and seamless authentication.
• MongoDB Integration: Leverages MongoDB for persistent storage of user data, connected via Mongoose for schema definition and data modeling.

Technologies Used

• Next.js: A powerful React framework for building server-side rendered and statically generated web applications.
• NextAuth: An easy-to-implement authentication solution for Next.js applications.
• MongoDB: A scalable, NoSQL database used for storing user information.
• Mongoose: An elegant MongoDB object modeling tool for Node.js.
