Auth Pages

Authentication Pages (FSD)

Better Auth integration with Next.js 16 - Magic Link (passwordless) authentication.

Authentication Method

This project uses Magic Link authentication - users sign in by clicking a link sent to their email. No passwords!

Magic Link Login Flow

1. User enters email → /login
2. signIn.magicLink() called
3. Backend webhook sends email
4. User clicks link → /magic-link/verify?token=...
5. Token verified → Session created → Redirect to /dashboard
6. Login notification sent (new device only)

Auth Client (Magic Link)

import { signIn, signOut } from "@shared/lib/auth-client"

// Request Magic Link
await signIn.magicLink({
  email,
  callbackURL: "/dashboard",
  newUserCallbackURL: "/dashboard",
  errorCallbackURL: "/login?error=verification_failed",
})

// Sign Out
await signOut()

Server-Side Session (NO FLICKER!)

Protected Page Pattern

// app/(protected)/dashboard/page.tsx - SERVER COMPONENT
import { getSession } from "@shared/lib/auth-server"
import { redirect } from "next/navigation"
import { Header } from "@widgets/header"

export default async function DashboardPage() {
  // Server-side Session Check - NO Flicker!
  const session = await getSession()
  if (!session) redirect("/login")

  return (
    <div className="min-h-screen bg-background">
      <Header user={session.user} />
      {/* Content */}
    </div>
  )
}

Session Management

Users can view and revoke sessions at /settings:

import { useSessions } from "@features/user-settings"

export function SessionsList() {
  const { sessions, revokeSession, revokeOtherSessions } = useSessions()

  return (
    <div>
      {sessions.map((session) => (
        <SessionCard
          key={session.id}
          session={session}
         
        />
      ))}
      <Button
        Alle anderen Sessions beenden
      </Button>
    </div>
  )
}

Backend Webhooks

All emails are sent by the Go backend (Clean Architecture):

POST /api/v1/webhooks/send-magic-link
POST /api/v1/webhooks/send-verification-email
POST /api/v1/webhooks/session-created

Protected by X-Webhook-Secret header.

Rate Limiting

• Magic Link: 3 requests per minute
• Verification Email: 3 requests per minute

Cross-Tab Synchronization

// features/auth/model/use-auth-sync.ts
import { useAuthSync, broadcastSignOut } from "@features/auth"

// In Header component
useAuthSync() // Listen for auth changes

// On sign out
await signOut()
await broadcastSignOut() // Notify other tabs

Magic Link Verify Page

Custom UI for /magic-link/verify:

• Loading: Spinner while verifying
• Success: Immediate redirect to dashboard
• Rate Limited: "Zu viele Anfragen" message
• Expired: "Link abgelaufen" message
• Invalid: "Ungültiger Link" message

Login Notifications

Email sent on new device/IP:

• Checks if device/IP combination is known
• Only sends notification for NEW devices
• Includes "Sessions verwalten" button to /settings

IMPORTANT: What NOT to do

❌ DO NOT use useSession() in Protected Pages → Causes flicker ❌ DO NOT use password fields → Magic Link only ❌ DO NOT send emails from frontend → Use backend webhooks ❌ DO NOT use direct SQL in auth hooks → Use webhooks

✅ INSTEAD:

• Server Component checks session with getSession()
• redirect() if no session
• Pass user as prop to Client Components
• All emails via backend webhooks
