Magic Example

This example show 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.

Deploy your own

Deploy the example using Vercel Now:

Deploy with Vercel Now

How to use

Using create-next-app

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

npm init next-app --example with-magic with-magic-app
# or
yarn create next-app --example with-magic with-magic-app

Configuration

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

Magic Dashboard

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

cp .env.example .env

Then set each variable on .env:

  • 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

To deploy on Vercel, you need to set the environment variables with Now Secrets using Now CLI (Documentation).

Install Now CLI, log in to your account from the CLI, and run the following commands to add the environment variables. Replace <MAGIC_PUBLISHABLE_KEY> and <MAGIC_SECRET_KEY> with the corresponding strings in .env:

now secrets add next_example_magic_publishable_key <MAGIC_PUBLISHABLE_KEY>
now secrets add next_example_magic_secret_key <MAGIC_SECRET_KEY>
