Next.js 14 Project with Lucia Auth, Mongoose, MongoDB, GitHub, Google OAuth, Email Verification, and Password Reset

This repository contains a Next.js 14 project that incorporates various features and technologies, including Lucia authentication, Mongoose for interacting with MongoDB, GitHub and Google OAuth integration, email verification, and password reset functionality.

Technologies Used

• Next.js 14: The project is built using the latest version of Next.js, a popular React framework for building server-rendered and statically generated applications.
• Lucia Auth: Lucia is a modern authentication library used for handling user authentication and session management in this project.
• Mongoose: Mongoose is an Object Data Modeling (ODM) library used in this project to interact with MongoDB, a popular NoSQL database.
• MongoDB: MongoDB is the database used for storing user data and other application-specific data.
• GitHub OAuth: The project integrates with GitHub OAuth, allowing users to sign in or sign up using their GitHub accounts.
• Google OAuth: Similarly, the project also supports Google OAuth, enabling users to authenticate using their Google accounts.
• Email Verification: Users are required to verify their email addresses before accessing certain features or areas of the application.
• Password Reset: The project includes functionality for users to reset their passwords in case they forget them.

Features

1. User Authentication:

   • Users can sign up using their email addresses and passwords.
   • Users can sign in using their registered email addresses and passwords.
   • Users can sign in or sign up using their GitHub or Google accounts (OAuth).

2. Email Verification:

   • After signing up, users receive a verification email to confirm their email addresses.
   • Users cannot access certain protected areas or features until they verify their email addresses.

3. Password Reset:

   • Users can request a password reset if they forget their passwords.
   • A password reset email is sent to the user's registered email address, containing a secure link for resetting their password.

4. User Profile:

   • Users can view and update their profile information, such as their names and profile pictures.

5. Protected Routes:

   • Certain routes or areas of the application are protected and only accessible to authenticated users.

6. MongoDB Integration:

   • User data, including authentication credentials and profile information, is stored in a MongoDB database using Mongoose.

7. GitHub Integration:

   • Users can sign in or sign up using their GitHub accounts through the GitHub OAuth flow.

8. Google Integration:

   • Users can sign in or sign up using their Google accounts through the Google OAuth flow.
