# Magic Example

This example shows how to use [Magic](https://magic.link) with Next.js. The example features cookie-based, passwordless authentication with email-based magic links.

The example shows how to do a login and logout; and to get the user info using a hook with [SWR](https://swr.vercel.app).

A DB is not included. But you can add any DB you like!.

The login cookie is `httpOnly`, meaning it can only be accessed by the API, and it's encrypted using [@hapi/iron](https://hapi.dev/family/iron) for more security.

## Deploy your own

[![Deploy with Vercel](https://vercel.com/button)](https://vercel.com/new/clone?repository-url=https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-magic&project-name=with-magic&repository-name=with-magic&env=NEXT_PUBLIC_MAGIC_PUBLISHABLE_KEY,MAGIC_SECRET_KEY,TOKEN_SECRET&envDescription=Required%20to%20connect%20the%20app%20with%20Magic&envLink=https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/with-magic%23configuration)

## How to use

Execute [`create-next-app`](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/packages/create-next-app) with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/init), [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/create/), or [pnpm](https://pnpm.io) to bootstrap the example:

```bash
npx create-next-app --example with-magic with-magic-app
```

```bash
yarn create next-app --example with-magic with-magic-app
```

```bash
pnpm create next-app --example with-magic with-magic-app
```

## Configuration

Login to the [Magic Dashboard](https://dashboard.magic.link/) and get the keys of your application

![Magic Dashboard](https://gblobscdn.gitbook.com/assets%2F-M1XNjqusnKyXZc7t7qQ%2F-M3HsSftOAghkNs-ttU3%2F-M3HsllfdwdDmeFXBK3U%2Fdashboard-pk.png?alt=media&token=4d6e7543-ae20-4355-951c-c6421b8f1b5f)

Next, copy the `.env.local.example` file in this directory to .env.local (which will be ignored by Git):

```bash
cp .env.local.example .env.local
```

Then set each variable on `.env.local`:

- `NEXT_PUBLIC_MAGIC_PUBLISHABLE_KEY` should look like `pk_test_abc` or `pk_live_ABC`
- `MAGIC_SECRET_KEY` should look like `sk_test_ABC` or `sk_live_ABC`
- `TOKEN_SECRET` should be a string with at least 32 characters

Now, run Next.js in development mode

```bash
npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
```

Your app should be up and running on [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)! If it doesn't work, post on [GitHub discussions](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions).
