Getting Started

This getting started is based on the @light-auth/tanstack-react-start 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/tanstack-react-start

2) Configure vite

// file: "./vite.config.ts"

export default defineConfig({
  ...,
  ...,
  ssr: {
    noExternal: ['@light-auth/tanstack-react-start'],
  },
})

3) Configure Light Auth

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

import { Google, Github } from "arctic";
import { CreateLightAuth } from "@light-auth/nextjs";

const googleProvider = {
  providerName: "google",
  arctic: new Google(GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, REDIRECT),
};

const githubProvider = {
  providerName: "github",
  arctic: new GitHub(GITHUB_CLIENT_ID, GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET, REDIRECT)
};

export const { providers, handlers, signIn, signOut, getAuthSession, getUser } = CreateLightAuth({
  providers: [googleProvider, githubProvider]

4) Add Light Auth Handlers

// file: "./routes/api/auth/$.tsx"

import { createServerFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-start/server';
import { handlers } from "@/lib/auth";
export const ServerRoute = createServerFileRoute('/api/auth/$').methods(handlers)

5) Add login page

// file: "./routes/login.tsx"

import { createFileRoute } from '@tanstack/react-router'
import { createServerFn } from '@tanstack/react-start';
import { signIn } from '@/lib/auth';

export const Route = createFileRoute('/login')({
  component: RouteComponent,
})

export const actionSignIn = createServerFn().handler(() => signIn("google", "/profile"));


function RouteComponent() {
  return (
    <div>
      <form action={actionSignIn.url} method="POST">
        <button type="submit">login using a form action</button>
      </form>
    </div>
  );
}

6) Use Light Auth

// file: "./routes/profile.tsx"

import { createFileRoute, Link } from '@tanstack/react-router'
import { createServerFn } from '@tanstack/react-start';
import { getAuthSession as laGetAuthSession } from "@/lib/auth";

const getAuthSession = createServerFn({
  method: 'GET',
}).handler(() => {
  return laGetAuthSession()
})

export const Route = createFileRoute('/profile')({
  component: RouteComponent,
  loader: async () => {
    const session = await getAuthSession();
    return { session };
  },
})

function RouteComponent() {
  const state = Route.useLoaderData()
  const session = state.session;
  
  return (
    <div>
      {session != null ? (
        <div>
          <p>✅ You are logged in!</p>
          <div>Session Email: {session.email}</div>
          <div>Session Provider: {session.providerName}</div>
        </div>
      ) : (
        <div>
          <p>⚠️ You are not logged in</p>
          <a href="/login"> Go to Login Page </a>
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}
