Next.js + NextAuth + Django Rest Framework Social Authentication Example

This repository contains the code for a two-part article series that deals with connecting a Django Rest Framework backend with a Next.js + Next-Auth client with Social Authentication. In this example, we use OAuth with Google, but this can be extended to any arbitrary number of Providers.

The articles:

Part 1.

• The basics
• Getting access token

Part 2

• Using the refresh token to refresh access tokens
• Pitfalls of useSession() hook and its workaround (as of Apr 30, 2021)
• Custom HOC to reduce code repetition.

The branches of this repository are named, accordingly, part-1 and part-2. The main branch contains all the changes of both parts merged together into a single, working application.
