Hello everyone,
I'm new to Next.js, so please bear with me as I'm still in the process of familiarizing myself with the documentation.
I'm looking to create a web app where I can secure specific routes (pages) based on user roles.
Consider this straightforward use case:
- If a user is not logged in, they should only be able to access the landing page.
- Once logged in, a user gains access to a dashboard.
- For users with the role "Moderator" in addition to being logged in, they should be able to access the same dashboard plus an additional protected page that regular users cannot access.
I'd appreciate any guidance or examples on how to implement this within the Next.js framework.
Thank you in advance!
TL;DR
The developer is new to Next.js and wants to create a web app with user-role based protected routes. They want to restrict access to certain pages based on user roles. They are looking for guidance on how to implement this in Next.js.
Solution: One suggestion is to use JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for authentication and middleware for route protection. Another suggestion is to refer to a project on the AppWrite website for more information.
