Lucia V3 with convex

Hi, I'm using lucia-auth to authenticate the users and I saw many repos like this and this other one and I even found an issue referencing this (the repos are using an older version of lucia). Actually my adapter looks like this:

  import type { DatabaseReader, DatabaseWriter } from './_generated/server';
import {
    type Adapter,
    Lucia,
    type DatabaseUser,
    type DatabaseSession,
} from 'lucia';

const convexAdapter = (db: DatabaseWriter): Adapter => { /* stuff */ }
export const auth = (db: DatabaseWriter) => new Lucia(convexAdapter(db));

  import type { DatabaseReader, DatabaseWriter } from './_generated/server';
import {
    type Adapter,
    Lucia,
    type DatabaseUser,
    type DatabaseSession,
} from 'lucia';

const convexAdapter = (db: DatabaseWriter): Adapter => { /* stuff */ }
export const auth = (db: DatabaseWriter) => new Lucia(convexAdapter(db));

but I don't know how to use it out of the convex functions context, because I need to use it in a action:

// actions/sign-up.ts
'use server';

import { api } from '@convex/_generated/api';
import { fetchMutation } from 'convex/nextjs';
import { cookies as nextCookies } from 'next/headers';

type SignUpProps = {
    email: string;
    password: string;
};

export async function signup({ email, password }: SignUpProps) {
    const { userId } = await fetchMutation(api.users.insert, {
        email,
        password,
    });

    const session = await lucia.createSession(userId, {});
    const cookies = lucia.createSessionCookie(session.id);

    nextCookies().set(cookies.name, cookies.value, cookies.attributes);
}

// actions/sign-up.ts
'use server';

import { api } from '@convex/_generated/api';
import { fetchMutation } from 'convex/nextjs';
import { cookies as nextCookies } from 'next/headers';

type SignUpProps = {
    email: string;
    password: string;
};

export async function signup({ email, password }: SignUpProps) {
    const { userId } = await fetchMutation(api.users.insert, {
        email,
        password,
    });

    const session = await lucia.createSession(userId, {});
    const cookies = lucia.createSessionCookie(session.id);

    nextCookies().set(cookies.name, cookies.value, cookies.attributes);
}

I don't know if this is a convex related issue or I need to open an issue in lucia-auth

Hey. For now I would recommend in order: 1. Use Clerk or Auth0 2. If you must use custom auth, check out this repo, but it is very much work in progress. It side-steps lucia because lucia doesn't really give much over handrolling auth, but it uses the new libraries Lucia is built on top of: https://github.com/xixixao/convex-auth We're working on auth this quarter so we'll have more to share in the coming weeks.

Thank you, I’m going to follow him to be up to date

Can't wait for this. I really need email/password auth in Convex that doesn't rely on Clerk, Auth0, Auth.js etc. Thanks for working on this and looking forward to testing this out. @Michal Srb Will this new work implement auth via sessions or JWT?

Michal Srb•10mo ago

@David you can check out the code. It uses a cookie for long term session and exchanges it for a JWT.
