Next.js Authentication with MongoDB and Google OAuth

This project demonstrates how to set up user authentication in a Next.js application using MongoDB for data storage and Google OAuth for authentication. Users have the option to sign up and log in using their credentials or Google authentication.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• Node.js installed on your system.
• A MongoDB database ready to use.
• Google OAuth credentials (Client ID and Client Secret). Refer to this Medium post for instructions on obtaining these credentials.

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <project-folder>
   
   

2.Install project dependencies:

 npm install

3.Create a .env file in the root directory of your project with the following variables:

```bash
 DATABASE_URL=your-mongodb-uri
 GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your-google-client-id
 GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your-google-client-secret

Replace your-mongodb-uri, your-google-client-id, and your-google-client-secret with your MongoDB URI and Google OAuth credentials obtained from the Medium post mentioned above.

4.Start the development server:
```bash
 npm run dev

Your Next.js application is now running. Visit http://localhost:3000 in your browser to access it.
