Hey, folks, I'd like to ask for some help with something. I'm trying to set up authentication for my app using Next.js 13 (App folder) with the backend using Express.js + Passport-local.
I've already configured the Express and passport.js parts here, or at least I THINK I have, but I'm not sure how to implement this authentication on the Next.js side now.
My goal is to protect both the API routes and some pages of the application. If a user tries to access a specific path of the application without any valid session cookie, they should be redirected to the login path '/'.
But im not sure how to add this to my actual application. I've created a test app with 2 pages: one with a login form and another one with a basic profile screen. The idea is to always block access to the profile page unless the user is authenticated. Do you have any tips on what I should be thinking about or looking for? At least some guidance on the path I should follow here to achieve what I want?
