Next.js 14 introduces the new app router feature that breaks most NextAuth implementations. I've done some searching and have moved some files around to get it working again with VATSIM Connect.

This app uses:

• Next.js 14
• NextAuth v4
• Prisma v5
• MySQL Database (any version that works with Prisma)

If you'd like to use a different database, see Change The Database.

Ensure you have implemented the environment variables in found in .env.example in your own .env file.

Then, simply download and extract wherever you want. With your favorite terminal, navigate to the extracted files and run:

npm i

Then, after ensuring your database is running, run:

npm run dev

This starts a development server. More build/run scripts can be found in package.json.

The [...nextauth].ts file changed so that it exports a handler function. The configuration was moved to ./libs/auth/auth.ts. NextAuth have done some funky magic that detects if NextAuth is being initialised in a Route Handler.

The JSX in ./app/layout.tsx has been wrapped in a custom context that takes the session as a prop. This is because the SessionProvider context cannot be used on a server component (at least, that is what I understood from the errors I was getting). The session is fetched in layout.tsx as it's a server component (doesn't have use client at the top of the page) as to get the session from the client's side, you'd have to make a GET request to /api/auth/session and passed to auth-context.ts, where it provides the session to the rest of the app.

This example uses Prisma. To change the database, follow the instructions from Prisma.

I'm very much a self taught web developer. If you see something that isn't quite right, please let me know, or feel free to correct it yourself. I appreciate all feedback!
