Oh, Auth Doesn't Have to Suck?

This auth library and all the utilities that come with it are seriously impressive work. It's cool to see a very different, less abstract approach to going about auth.

Auth without 3rd party! Need one full tutorial 😮

The war between Prisma and Drizzle is even in the authorization video

Yesterday I was studying NextAuth V5 and was a headache to implement a simple credentials sign-in feature. The documentation is horrible. It's just me or anyone else think that doc is horrible? I felt dumb.

lucia is my love, really glad to see you made a video on it! im a big fan of the library

[jodp]

Just heard about this last week, glad to see you on top of this recent stuff!

I'm not sure we can discuss the concept of "abstraction" as either good or bad unless you have the context of the consumers of the abstraction. I appreciate your use of the phrase "right level of abstraction" as I think that starts to indicate that the appropriateness of the abstraction is very much a sliding scale.

Very interesting, and your comments really make me feel more comfortable with going with Lucia 3.0 vs AuthJS or rolling my own.

I really like this take! Good job explaining this!

[RonnieDenzel]

This is what makes me feel that next auth gets wrong, its implementation is too high level, I'm at least happy that this library strikes a balance

Thanks Josh💯

We need a full tutorial on this!!! Great video, Josh!

I hope this library gets much more attention because Nextauth’s decision to not support email password auth has been frustrating.

I have tried Kindle, NextAuth and Clerk but haven't felt home in any of them. I like abstractions that Lucia seems to deliver. I will give a spin. Thanks for video.

There's more to say about "Abstraction". Abstractions that don't give you granular controls can also be good if the things they're abstracting are **not intended to work with** for the most cases. Thus it sets up a recommended design pattern. Customization along with sane defaults doesn't work all the time. If you think about it, React is such an example of the abstraction. Monads can be regarded in the same category.

Dude, heard of Aceternity UI - it amazing

"In the beginning you want results, in the end you want control" by someone on the internet. Works here too :)

Please for the love of God make a full deep dive turorial

[codinginflow]

I've implemented Lucia auth today and I much prefer it over Next-auth. It doesn't force you into ugly design patterns (both backend & UI).

[KSalvatore]

Good library need to try it to learn. I used next-auth and don't understand exactly how it works.
And I kinda getting why non abstracts good. I recently learning prisma It is very easy.
Can you do a comparison or explain how drizzle works from prisma users point of view.

Thanks😊

Bro you make so much sense ❤ youre the messiah we needed after being fed the enterprise bullshit for 20 years since the invention of Java.

Josh, love your videos. I have a doubt. Is there still caching issue in NEXT JS 14 ? Does server actions resolve all these caching issues ?
