This is a Next.js project bootstrapped with create-next-app.

Auth flow & protected routes

Authentication uses a dual-storage strategy:

• localStorage (auth_token) — used by the browser API client to attach Authorization: Bearer <token> headers.
• auth_token cookie — mirrored on login/logout so Next.js middleware can read the session on the edge without localStorage (which is unavailable in middleware).

After a successful login, api.setToken() writes to both stores. api.clearToken() removes both.

Protected routes

src/middleware.ts guards routes under /dashboard/* and /profile/*. Unauthenticated visitors are redirected to:

/login?redirect=/original-path

The login page reads redirect and sends the user to that path after sign-in (default: /dashboard).

Public routes

These paths are reachable without a token:

• /
• /login
• /signup

Authenticated users who visit /login or /signup are redirected to /dashboard.

Session helpers

src/lib/auth/session.ts exports:

• getTokenFromRequest(request) / isAuthenticatedFromRequest(request) — for middleware
• setAuthCookie() / clearAuthCookie() — client-side cookie sync

src/lib/auth/session.server.ts exports:

• getToken() — async, for Server Components (cookies())
• isAuthenticated()

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Geist, a new font family for Vercel.
