Getting Started

This getting started is based on the @light-auth/astro package.

You will find examples for all others frameworks in each relevant repository

The Light Auth documentation has also a lot of code examples for various scenario.

1) Install Light Auth

npm -i @light-auth/astro

2) Configure Light Auth

// file: "./src/lib/auth.ts"

import { Google } from "arctic";
import { type LightAuthProvider } from "@light-auth/core";
import { CreateLightAuth } from "@light-auth/astro";

const googleProvider: LightAuthProvider = {
  providerName: "google",
  arctic: new Google(import.meta.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, 
        import.meta.env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, 
        import.meta.env.REDIRECT_URI),
  searchParams: new Map([["access_type", "offline"]]),
};


export const { providers, handlers, getAuthSession, getUser, signIn, signOut } 
    = CreateLightAuth({ providers: [googleProvider], env: import.meta.env });

3) Add Light Auth Handlers

// file: "./pages/api/auth/[...lightauth].ts"

import type { APIRoute } from "astro";
import { handlers } from "@/lib/auth";
export const { GET, POST }: { GET: APIRoute; POST: APIRoute } = handlers;

4) Add login action

Due to a limitation from Astro, we can't redirect from the action code itself

More info on this issue (#11613).
The redirect is handled in the index.astro file, in the frontmatter section.

// file: "./src/actions/index.ts"

import { defineAction } from "astro:actions";
import { z } from "astro:schema";

export const server = {
  login: defineAction({
    accept: "form",
    input: z.object({ providerName: z.string(), callbackUrl: z.string() }),
    handler(input, context) {
      return { providerName: input.providerName, callbackUrl: input.callbackUrl };
    },
  }),
};

5) Add login page

<!-- file: "./pages/login.astro" -->

---
import { signIn } from "@/lib/auth";
import { actions } from "astro:actions";

const result = Astro.getActionResult(actions.login);
if (result && !result.error && result.data) {
  return await signIn(Astro, result.data.providerName, result.data.);
}
---

<Layout title="Astro Authentication using light-auth">
    <div>
        <form method="POST" action={actions.login}>
            <input type="hidden" name="providerName" value="google" />
            <input type="hidden" name="callbackUrl" value="/" />
            <button type="submit">Login</button>
        </form>            
  </div>
</Layout>

6) Use Light Auth in profile page

---
// Component Imports
import Layout from "@/layouts/main.astro";
import { getAuthSession } from "@/lib/auth";

const session = await getAuthSession(Astro);
---

<Layout title="Astro Authentication using light-auth">
    <div>
      {session != null ? (
          <p>✅ You are logged in!</p>
          <div>{session.email}</div>
        ) : (
          <div>
            <button id="btnLogin">You are not logged</button>
          </div>
        )
      }
  </div>

</Layout>
