Setting up authentication in a Next.js project is powerful — but let’s be honest…
It’s repetitive.
Every time we start a new project with NextAuth, we end up writing the same boilerplate:
- Provider configuration
- Auth config setup
- Environment variables
- Basic file structure
After doing this multiple times, I thought:
Why not automate the boring part?
So I built authkit-pro — a CLI tool that initializes basic NextAuth setup instantly.
✨ What is authkit-pro?
authkit-pro is a simple CLI tool designed to:
- 1. Reduce authentication boilerplate
- 2. Speed up project setup
- 3. Let developers focus on core features
- 4. Provide a clean starting structure Instead of manually configuring everything, you just run one command.
⚡ How to Use
Simply run:
npx authkit-pro init
That’s it.
It scaffolds the basic authentication setup so you can move faster.
🎯 Why I Built This
As a developer, I love optimizing workflows.
When you repeatedly write the same setup code, it slows down creativity. I wanted something that:
- Saves time
- Keeps projects consistent
- Makes starting new apps easier
So this is my small contribution to improving the developer experience.
🛠 Current Status
The project is still evolving.
I’m actively improving it and planning to add more features.
If you try it, I would genuinely appreciate your feedback.
💬 Feedback & Contribution
