Components and decorators for using Github authentication with Next.js
-
Install into your Next.js app

-
Create
sign-in
andsign-out
pagesAt

If you need to customize the scope you can configure the
SignIn
pageimport { configureSignIn } from 'next-github-auth' const SignIn = configureSignIn({ scope: 'repo gist' }) export default SignIn
-
Wrap private pages with
PrivatePage
decoratorAny Next.js page that should only be accessible to authenticated users should be wrapped with the
PrivatePage
decorator, e.g.:import { PrivatePage } from 'next-github-auth' const Private = props => <div>private page!</div> export default PrivatePage(Private)
-
Wrap public pages with
PublicPage
decoratorAll other Next.js pages should be wrapped with the
PublicPage
decorator, e.g.:import { PublicPage } from 'next-github-auth' const Public = props => <div>public page!</div> export default PublicPage(Public)
-
Optionally access the currently signed in github user and access tokens in a Next page component's
getInitialProps
, e.g:import React from 'react' import PropTypes from 'prop-types' import { PrivatePage } from 'next-github-auth' const UserRepos = ({ github: { accessToken, user: { login } } }) => ( <div> {!repos.length && ( <div>cool, you have 0 repos!</div> )} {!!repos.length && ( <ul style={{ margin: 0 }}> {repos.map(({ fullName }) => ( <li key={fullName}>{fullName}</li> ))} </ul> )} </div> ) UserRepos.getInitialProps ({ github: { accessToken } }) { const githubRepos = await getGithubRepos(accessToken) const repos = githubRepos.map(repoView) return { repos } } export default PrivatePage(UserProfile)
-
Optionally access the currently signed in github user and access tokens via React's
context
, e.g:import React from 'react' import PropTypes from 'prop-types' import { PrivatePage } from 'next-github-auth' const UserProfile = (props, { github: { accessToken, user: { login } } }) => ( <div> <div>{login}'s profile</div> <div>token: {accessToken ? 'hidden' : 'not available'}</div> </div> ) UserProfile.contextTypes = { github: PropTypes.shape({ accessToken: PropTypes.string, user: PropTypes.shape({ login: PropTypes.string }) }) } export default PrivatePage(UserProfile)
-

Set the callback URL to the public URL of the deployed app
-
Setup environment
Export your GitHub app's client id and secret as environment variables
export GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=YOUR_APP_ID export GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_APP_SECRET
