Hey, you! Are you trying to add Google Authentication in a Next.js app but drowning in confusing tutorials? I feel you. As someone who has struggled with setting up authentication from scratch without Firebase or NextAuth “magic” plugins, I’m here to say: it doesn’t have to be a nightmare.
So, today, we’re diving into setting up Google Authentication in a Next.js 14 app. And we’ll make sure we don’t skip the basics, from setting up Next.js itself to adding Tailwind CSS for some smooth, beautiful styling. Ready? Let’s go!
Prerequisites
To make sure we’re all on the same page, you’ll need:
Google Cloud Console account, which we’ll use to set up the OAuth credentials.
Basic JavaScript skills (don’t worry, I’ll keep this beginner-friendly).
Next.js 14 installed and ready to go.
Let’s get started with the setup and then bring Google Authentication in as the cherry on top. 😎
Step 1: Set Up a New Next.js 14 App
First things first, we need a Next.js project. To create one, run the following command in your terminal:
npx create-next-app@latest my-google-auth-app
During setup, when asked if you want to add Tailwind CSS, say YES! If you’re working on an app these days without Tailwind, you’re missing out on some of the cleanest, most responsive styling out there. The beauty here is that Next.js will handle most of the Tailwind setup for you, so you’re up and running with minimal pain.
Step 2: Set Up Google Cloud OAuth Credentials
For Google Authentication, we’ll need to create some credentials on Google Cloud. Follow along to get this set up (no worries, it’s simpler than it sounds).
