Hi @Viktor. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Yes, you can perform Supabase authentication on the server side in a Nuxt 3 application. The Supabase Nuxt module supports SSR (Server-Side Rendering) and provides mechanisms to handle authentication both on the client and the server. By default, the Supabase module for Nuxt will redirect unauthenticated users to the login page if they try to access a guarded route. This behavior is configurable in the module options. You can protect your server-side routes by checking for authentication status and handling redirects or errors accordingly. For example, if a user is not authenticated, the module can automatically redirect to the login page, and you can disable this redirect if needed by changing the module configuration. This demonstrates that SSR authentication flows are supported and configurable in Nuxt with Supabase integration Supabase module redirect behavior. For more advanced use cases, you can also use server-side middleware or API route protection patterns similar to those used with other authentication utilities in Nuxt, such as checking for a valid session or token in your server routes. In summary:
- Supabase authentication can be handled on the server side in Nuxt 3. - The Nuxt Supabase module supports SSR and provides options for redirecting unauthenticated users. - You can configure or disable automatic redirects as needed. If you need to implement custom server-side authentication logic, you would typically check the user's session or token in your server routes or middleware, similar to other SSR authentication patterns in Nuxt. If you need more detailed code examples or specific implementation steps, please clarify your use case! ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai can you give me examples and documentations abput this ?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Certainly! Based on the available knowledge sources, here’s what is documented about Supabase authentication and SSR (server-side) in Nuxt: 1. Supabase Module Default Behavior The Supabase Nuxt module, by default, will redirect unauthenticated users to the login page if they try to access a guarded route. This is handled automatically and can be configured or disabled in the module options:

The issue here comes from the Supabase module - by default, it redirects to login.
As per docs:
Redirect automatically to the configured login page if a non authenticated user is trying to access a guarded. You can disable all redirects by setting this option to false.

Source 2. Example: Protecting Routes While there isn’t a direct code example for server-side Supabase authentication in the sources, the general Nuxt pattern for protecting routes (which can be adapted for Supabase) is to use middleware. Here’s a typical example for route protection:

// middleware/authenticated.ts
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(() => {
  const { loggedIn } = useUserSession()

  // redirect the user to the login screen if they're not authenticated
  if (!loggedIn.value) {
    return navigateTo('/login')
  }
})

// middleware/authenticated.ts
export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(() => {
  const { loggedIn } = useUserSession()

  // redirect the user to the login screen if they're not authenticated
  if (!loggedIn.value) {
    return navigateTo('/login')
  }
})

Protect App Routes For Supabase, you would use the composables provided by the module (like useSupabaseUser() or useSupabaseClient()) in your middleware or server routes to check authentication status. 3. SSR and Redirects If you want to handle redirects on the server side (SSR), you can check authentication in your API routes or middleware and return a 302 redirect if the user is not authenticated. Here’s a pattern from the sources:

if (import.meta.server) {
  const response = requestEvent.node.res;
  if (!response.headersSent) {
    response.writeHead(302, {Location: '/login'});
    response.end();
  }
}

if (import.meta.server) {
  const response = requestEvent.node.res;
  if (!response.headersSent) {
    response.writeHead(302, {Location: '/login'});
    response.end();
  }
}

Centralized 401 Handling Example 4. Documentation Links - Supabase Nuxt Module Docs – Redirects - Nuxt Middleware Docs - Sessions and Authentication in Nuxt --- Summary:
- The Supabase Nuxt module supports SSR and can handle authentication on the server side. - You can use middleware and server route patterns to check authentication and redirect as needed. - The module’s redirect behavior is configurable. If you need a more specific code example for Supabase SSR authentication, the knowledge sources do not provide a direct, detailed example, but the patterns above are the recommended approach. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai i want documentation of how to implement authentication on server side with nuxt and supabase

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not contain detailed, step-by-step documentation specifically for implementing server-side authentication with Nuxt and Supabase. The available sources mention that the Supabase Nuxt module supports SSR and can automatically redirect unauthenticated users to a login page, and that this behavior is configurable in the module options. However, they do not provide a comprehensive guide or code examples for handling authentication entirely on the server side with Supabase in Nuxt. You can find a mention of the redirect feature and its configuration in the Supabase Nuxt module documentation (Supabase module redirect behavior), but there is no in-depth documentation or example for full server-side authentication flows with Supabase and Nuxt in the provided sources. If you need more detailed guidance, you may need to consult the official Supabase Nuxt module documentation or other external resources, as the current knowledge sources do not cover this topic in depth. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
