next-auth VS Tailwind CSS

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/

Lastly, Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework packed with classes like flex, pt-4, text-center, and rotate-90 that can be composed to build any design, directly in your markup.

Tailwind CSS

Sidekiq is already configured along with assets, tailwindsCSS.

Finally, for our front end, we’re going to be pairing Next.js with the great combination of TailwindCSS and shadcn/ui so we can focus on building the functionality of the app and let them handle making it look awesome!

You can use any frontend framework you want — react-based tooling, however, has a natural advantage as it models everything as a function of state, which can map 1:1 with the concept in Burr. In the demo app we use react, react-query, and tailwind, but we’ll be skipping over this largely (it is not central to the purpose of the post).

First, you need to make sure that you have a working Tailwind CSS project…

Tailwind CSS

With better CSS approaches like TailwindCSS and Vanilla Extract (which we're heavily using) it's much easier to maintain the UI and make sure it doesn't change unexpectedly. No more conflicting CSS classes, much less CSS specificity issues and much less CSS code in general.
