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.

How to use

Using create-next-app

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

npx create-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

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

cp .env.local.example .env.local

Then set each variable on .env.local:

• NEXT_PUBLIC_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 up the environment variables with the Environment Variables UI using the Vercel CLI (Documentation).

Install Vercel CLI, log in to your account from the CLI, link your project and run the following command to add the NEXT_PUBLIC_MAGIC_PUBLISHABLE_KEY and MAGIC_SECRET_KEY environment variables.

vercel env add
