react-oauth VS next-auth

It seems to be simple at first, but it took a lot of research. At first I thought there must be a library that I could use, right? The closest I got was a library called -@react-oauth/google but it wasn't compatible with how RocketChat Google OAuth endpoint handled requests. It needed both acessToken and idToken but here on successful login we could get either accessToken or code object. The idToken is the JWT hashed version of code object. You can read more about it here. So after a while of research, I started implementing a custom hook which could handle this with the plain gapi-script from scratch. But, the gapi-script introduced some errors/warnings. So, I went and fixed the code and published my own library around it.

NextAuth.js is not perfect. One of the shortcomings is that it currently does not implement federated logout. This means that even if a user signs out of the Next.js app, he does NOT get signed out of the Cognito user pool client. As a consequence, the user is not really being logged out (i.e he is able to login again without providing the credentials). You can read more about this problem in this Github thread.

NextAuth for adding auth

Let's learn a bit about Descope and how to use it with Auth.js (next-auth) to protect our Next.js app with role-based access control (RBAC).

Next Auth CognitoProvider Internal Library: https://github.com/nextauthjs/next-auth/blob/v4/packages/next-auth/src/providers/cognito.ts

I mentioned this in an age-old discussion on NextAuth GitHub repo.

Authentication is a fundamental part of most web applications. Integrating authentication into your Next.js app can be simplified with NextAuth, a powerful authentication library that supports various authentication methods. However, the documentation around setting up NextAuth with the "Credentials" auth provider might not be as clear as you'd hope. My implementation is greatly enriched and partially based on Next-Auth docs and the following github thread.

NextAuth.js

I'm surprised nobody mentioned https://authjs.dev/
