Packages

1. Frontend: Next.js application

This application is the primary user-facing application. Once it’s up and running (see Development section), it’s available on http://localhost:3000/.

2. Backend: Dockerized Strapi application

Strapi is the leading open-source headless CMS. It’s 100% Javascript, fully customizable and developer-first.

Installation

1. Clone the application

git clone https://github.com/ghoshnirmalya/nextjs-authentication-using-strapi-and-next-auth

2. Install necessary dependencies for the frontend application

cd frontend && yarn install

3. Create a .env file and copy the contents from .env.example (present in frontend directory)

We might need to run the following command:

source .env

4. Create and copy the Google client credentials

Create a new Google OAuth Client and copy the credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) in your .env file.

5. Start the frontend application

From the frontend directory, we can run the following command to start our Next.js frontend application:

yarn dev

The above command will start the frontend application on http://localhost:3000/.

6. Go inside the directory of the backend package on another terminal window

cd backend

7. Start docker-compose

docker-compose up

We need to start Docker and then run the above command which will change the current directory to the backend package’s directory and then start the backend package. If everything goes well, it’ll be up and running on http://localhost:1337/graphql.
