auth_routing

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the need for robust authentication and request routing in Next.js applications, ensuring that only authorized users can access protected resources.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Authentication Enforcement: Verifies user sessions via JWT cookies before allowing access to application routes.
• Public Path Management: Allows specific routes (e.g., login, public API endpoints) to be accessed without authentication.
• Request Handling: Intercepts requests to modify headers, perform redirects, or return specific error responses (like 401 for unauthorized API access).
• Use Case: Protect your entire application except for the /login page and /api/auth/login endpoint, redirecting any unauthenticated user attempting to access other routes to the login page.

Quick Start

Add the '/new-public-route/' path to the publicPaths array in src/proxy.ts to make it accessible without authentication.
