Example application using iron-session
👀 Online demo at https://iron-session-example.vercel.app
This example creates an authentication system that uses a signed and encrypted cookie to store session data. It relies on iron-session
.
It uses current best practices for authentication in the Next.js ecosystem and replicates parts of how the Vercel dashboard is built.
Features of the example:
- API Routes and getServerSideProps examples.
- The logged in status is synchronized between browser windows/tabs using
useUser
hook and theswr
. - The layout is based on the user's logged-in/out status.
- The session data is signed and encrypted in a cookie (this is done automatically by
iron-session
).
iron-session
also provides:
- An Express middleware, which can be used in any Node.js HTTP framework.
- Multiple encryption keys (passwords) to allow for seamless updates or just password rotation.
- Full TypeScript support, including session data.
