auth0-nextjs
Auth0 kimlik doğrulamasını Next.js uygulamalarına oturum yönetimi, korumalı yollar ve ara yazılım ile ekleyin. Hem App Router hem de Pages Router'ı destekler; /auth/login, /auth/logout ve /auth/callback uç noktaları aracılığıyla otomatik OAuth geri çağırma işleme sağlar. Sunucu tarafı oturum erişimini Server Components ve API yolları için auth0.getSession() ile, istemci tarafı için ise client componentlerde useUser() hook'u ile sağlar. Ara yazılım yapılandırması gerektirir (Next.js 15+ için middleware.ts veya Next.js 16 için proxy.ts)...
npx skills add https://github.com/auth0/agent-skills --skill auth0-nextjsAuth0 Next.js Integration
Add authentication to Next.js applications using @auth0/nextjs-auth0. Supports both App Router and Pages Router.
Prerequisites
- Next.js 13+ application (App Router or Pages Router)
- Auth0 account and application configured
- If you don't have Auth0 set up yet, use the
auth0-quickstartskill first
When NOT to Use
- Client-side only React apps - Use
auth0-reactfor Vite/CRA SPAs - React Native mobile apps - Use
auth0-react-nativefor iOS/Android - Non-Next.js frameworks - Use framework-specific SDKs (Express, Vue, Angular, etc.)
- Stateless APIs only - Use JWT validation middleware if you don't need session management
Quick Start Workflow
1. Install SDK
npm install @auth0/nextjs-auth0
2. Configure Environment
For automated setup with Auth0 CLI, see Setup Guide for complete scripts.
For manual setup:
Create .env.local:
AUTH0_SECRET=<generate-a-32-character-secret>
APP_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
AUTH0_DOMAIN=your-tenant.auth0.com
AUTH0_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id
AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET=your-client-secret
Generate secret: openssl rand -hex 32
Important: Add .env.local to .gitignore
3. Create Auth0 Client and Middleware
Detect project structure first: Check whether the project uses a src/ directory (i.e. src/app/ or src/pages/ exists). This determines where to place files:
- With
src/:src/lib/auth0.ts,src/middleware.ts(orsrc/proxy.tsfor Next.js 16) - Without
src/:lib/auth0.ts,middleware.ts(orproxy.tsfor Next.js 16)
Create lib/auth0.ts (or src/lib/auth0.ts if using the src/ convention):
import { Auth0Client } from '@auth0/nextjs-auth0/server';
export const auth0 = new Auth0Client({
domain: process.env.AUTH0_DOMAIN!,
clientId: process.env.AUTH0_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET!,
secret: process.env.AUTH0_SECRET!,
appBaseUrl: process.env.APP_BASE_URL!,
});
Middleware Configuration (Next.js 15 vs 16):
Next.js 15 - Create middleware.ts (at project root, or src/middleware.ts if using src/):
import { NextRequest } from 'next/server';
import { auth0 } from '@/lib/auth0';
export async function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
return await auth0.middleware(request);
}
export const config = {
matcher: [
'/((?!_next/static|_next/image|favicon.ico|sitemap.xml|robots.txt).*)',
],
};
Next.js 16 - You have two options:
Option 1: Use middleware.ts (same as Next.js 15, same src/ placement rules):
import { NextRequest } from 'next/server';
import { auth0 } from '@/lib/auth0';
export async function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
return await auth0.middleware(request);
}
export const config = {
matcher: [
'/((?!_next/static|_next/image|favicon.ico|sitemap.xml|robots.txt).*)',
],
};
Option 2: Use proxy.ts (at project root, or src/proxy.ts if using src/):
import { NextRequest } from 'next/server';
import { auth0 } from '@/lib/auth0';
export async function proxy(request: NextRequest) {
return await auth0.middleware(request);
}
export const config = {
matcher: [
'/((?!_next/static|_next/image|favicon.ico|sitemap.xml|robots.txt).*)',
],
};
This automatically creates endpoints:
/auth/login- Login/auth/logout- Logout/auth/callback- OAuth callback/auth/profile- User profile
4. Add User Context (Optional)
Note: In v4, wrapping with <Auth0Provider> is optional. Only needed if you want to pass an initial user during server rendering to useUser().
App Router - Optionally wrap app in app/layout.tsx:
import { Auth0Provider } from '@auth0/nextjs-auth0/client';
import { auth0 } from '@/lib/auth0';
export default async function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
const session = await auth0.getSession();
return (
<html>
<body>
<Auth0Provider user={session?.user}>{children}</Auth0Provider>
</body>
</html>
);
}
Pages Router - Optionally wrap app in pages/_app.tsx:
import { Auth0Provider } from '@auth0/nextjs-auth0/client';
import type { AppProps } from 'next/app';
export default function App({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) {
return (
<Auth0Provider user={pageProps.user}>
<Component {...pageProps} />
</Auth0Provider>
);
}
5. Add Authentication UI
Client Component (works in both routers):
'use client'; // Only needed for App Router
import { useUser } from '@auth0/nextjs-auth0/client';
export default function Profile() {
const { user, isLoading } = useUser();
if (isLoading) return <div>Loading...</div>;
if (user) {
return (
<div>
<img src={user.picture} alt={user.name} />
<h2>Welcome, {user.name}!</h2>
<a href="/auth/logout">Logout</a>
</div>
);
}
return <a href="/auth/login">Login</a>;
}
6. Test Authentication
Start your dev server:
npm run dev
Visit http://localhost:3000 and test the login flow.

Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Using v3 environment variables | v4 uses APP_BASE_URL and AUTH0_DOMAIN (not AUTH0_BASE_URL or AUTH0_ISSUER_BASE_URL) |
| Forgot to add callback URL in Auth0 Dashboard | Add /auth/callback to Allowed Callback URLs (e.g., http://localhost:3000/auth/callback) |
| Missing middleware configuration | v4 requires middleware to mount auth routes - create middleware.ts (Next.js 15+16) or proxy.ts (Next.js 16 only) with auth0.middleware() |
| Wrong route paths | v4 uses /auth/login not /api/auth/login - routes drop the /api prefix |
| Missing or weak AUTH0_SECRET | Generate secure secret with openssl rand -hex 32 and store in .env.local |
| Using .env instead of .env.local | Next.js requires .env.local for local secrets, and .env.local should be in .gitignore |
| App created as SPA type in Auth0 | Must be Regular Web Application type for Next.js |
| Using removed v3 helpers | v4 removed withPageAuthRequired and withApiAuthRequired - use getSession() instead |
| Using useUser in Server Component | useUser is client-only, use auth0.getSession() for Server Components |
| AUTH0_DOMAIN includes https:// | v4 AUTH0_DOMAIN should be just the domain (e.g., example.auth0.com), no scheme |

Quick Reference
V4 Setup:
- Detect
src/convention: check ifsrc/app/orsrc/pages/exists — place all files insidesrc/if so - Create
lib/auth0.ts(orsrc/lib/auth0.ts) withAuth0Clientinstance - Create middleware configuration (required):
- Next.js 15:
middleware.ts(orsrc/middleware.ts) withmiddleware()function - Next.js 16:
middleware.tswithmiddleware()ORproxy.tswithproxy()function (samesrc/rules)
- Next.js 15:
- Optional: Wrap with
<Auth0Provider>for SSR user
Client-Side Hooks:
useUser()- Get user in client componentsuser- User profile objectisLoading- Loading state
Server-Side Methods:
auth0.getSession()- Get session in Server Components/API routes/middlewareauth0.getAccessToken()- Get access token for calling APIs
Common Use Cases:
- Login/Logout links → Use
/auth/loginand/auth/logoutpaths (see Step 5) - Protected pages (App Router) → Integration Guide
- Protected pages (Pages Router) → Integration Guide
- API routes with auth → Integration Guide
- Middleware protection → Integration Guide
