To login with Auth0 in Next.js, you can follow these steps:

  1. Set up an Auth0 account and create a new application in the Auth0 dashboard.
  2. Install the Auth0 SDK in your Next.js project by running the following command:
1
npm install @auth0/auth0-react


  1. Create a new Auth0 provider in your Next.js project and pass in your Auth0 application information. You can do this in your _app.js file or in a separate context provider file.


Here's an example of setting up the Auth0 provider in your _app.js file:

import { Auth0Provider } from '@auth0/auth0-react';

function MyApp({ Component, pageProps }) {
  return (
    <Auth0Provider
      domain={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTH0_DOMAIN}
      clientId={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTH0_CLIENT_ID}
      redirectUri={typeof window !== "undefined" && window.location.origin}
    >
      <Component {...pageProps} />
    </Auth0Provider>
  );
}

export default MyApp;


  1. Use the useAuth0 hook provided by the Auth0 SDK to access authentication features in your components. You can use this hook to handle login, logout, and authentication state in your Next.js app.


Here's an example of using the useAuth0 hook in a component:

import { useAuth0 } from '@auth0/auth0-react';

function Profile() {
  const { user, isAuthenticated, isLoading, loginWithRedirect, logout } = useAuth0();

  if (isLoading) {
    return <div>Loading...</div>;
  }

  if (!isAuthenticated) {
    return <button onClick={loginWithRedirect}>Log in</button>;
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <img src={user.picture} alt={user.name} />
      <h2>{user.name}</h2>
      <p>{user.email}</p>
      <button onClick={logout}>Log out</button>
    </div>
  );
}

export default Profile;


  1. Run your Next.js project and navigate to the page where you are using the Auth0 login functionality. You should be able to log in and log out using the Auth0 authentication system.


That's it! You have now set up Auth0 login in your Next.js project.
