Next.js SDK for Authon — middleware, server helpers, and React components for App Router.
npm install @authon/nextjs
# or
pnpm add @authon/nextjs
Requires next >= 14.0.0.
Protect routes at the edge:
// middleware.ts
import { authMiddleware } from '@authon/nextjs';
export default authMiddleware({
publishableKey: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTHON_KEY!,
publicRoutes: ['/', '/about', '/pricing', '/sign-in'],
});
export const config = {
matcher: ['/((?!_next|.*\\..*).*)'],
};
Wrap your layout:
// app/layout.tsx
import { AuthonProvider } from '@authon/nextjs';
export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
return (
<html>
<body>
<AuthonProvider publishableKey={process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_AUTHON_KEY!}>
{children}
</AuthonProvider>
</body>
</html>
);
}
Use all @authon/react hooks and components:
'use client';
import { useUser, SignedIn, SignedOut, UserButton } from '@authon/nextjs';
export function Header() {
return (
<nav>
<SignedIn><UserButton /></SignedIn>
<SignedOut><a href="/sign-in">Sign In</a></SignedOut>
</nav>
);
}
import { currentUser, auth } from '@authon/nextjs/server';
// In a Server Component or Route Handler
export async function GET() {
const user = await currentUser();
if (!user) return new Response('Unauthorized', { status: 401 });
return Response.json({ user });
}
// Get the full auth state
const { userId, sessionId, getToken } = await auth();
Re-exports all components and hooks from @authon/react:
AuthonProvider, useAuthon, useUser, SignedIn, SignedOut, UserButton, SignIn, SignUp, Protect
