Authentication

By default, V3 is configured to use Auth0 for secure authentication. Users who sign into your V3 application will be synced to your local Prisma database, enabling you to perform typical database interactions.

V3 with look at your environment configure file (.env) for the below values:

AUTH_ORIGIN="http://localhost:3000"
NUXT_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=""
NUXT_AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=""
NUXT_AUTH0_ISSUER=""

To populate these values, create an Auth0 application.

These same values will need to be set for your production instance; It's recommended to set up separate development and production Auth0 applications.

They will then be read by the api/auth/[...].ts file, which is shown below.

export default NuxtAuthHandler({
  adapter: PrismaAdapter(prisma),
  secret: envConfig.NUXT_SECRET,
  providers: [
    // @ts-expect-error You need to use .default here for it to work during SSR. May be fixed via Vite at some point
    Auth0Provider.default({
      clientId: envConfig.NUXT_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID,
      clientSecret: envConfig.NUXT_AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET,
      issuer: envConfig.NUXT_AUTH0_ISSUER,
    }),
  ],
})

Alternative authentication methods

V3 uses Nuxt-auth, which provides a Nuxt-compatible wrapper around NextAuth.js; Any of the providers listed there should work with V3.
