Next.js Authentication Boilerplate

This is a boilerplate codebase for building web applications with Next.js that includes user authentication, SCSS for styling, and a structured API route setup. It utilizes the next-iron-session library for managing user sessions.

Features

• User authentication (login, signup, logout) using Next.js API routes.
• SCSS integration for styling your application.
• Organized API routes for handling server-side logic.
