This example shows how to use Magic with Next.js. The example features cookie-based, passwordless authentication with email-based magic links.

The example shows how to do a login and logout; and to get the user info using a hook with SWR.

A DB is not included. But you can add any DB you like!.

The login cookie is httpOnly, meaning it can only be accessed by the API, and it's encrypted using @hapi/iron for more security.

Once you have access to the environment variables you'll need, deploy the example using Vercel:

Execute create-next-app with npm or Yarn to bootstrap the example:

npx create-next-app --example with-magic with-magic-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example with-magic with-magic-app

Login to the Magic Dashboard and get the keys of your application

Next, copy the .env.local.example file in this directory to .env.local (which will be ignored by Git):

cp .env.local.example .env.local

Then set each variable on .env.local:

• NEXT_PUBLIC_MAGIC_PUBLISHABLE_KEY should look like pk_test_abc or pk_live_ABC
• MAGIC_SECRET_KEY should look like sk_test_ABC or sk_live_ABC
• TOKEN_SECRET should be a string with at least 32 characters

Now, run Next.js in development mode

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev

Your app should be up and running on http://localhost:3000! If it doesn't work, post on GitHub discussions.

You can deploy this app to the cloud with Vercel (Documentation).

To deploy your local project to Vercel, push it to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket and import to Vercel.

Important: When you import your project on Vercel, make sure to click on Environment Variables and set them to match your .env.local file.

Alternatively, you can deploy using our template by clicking on the Deploy button below.
