Redirect to Homepage only

[Vicidevs]

I changed the authenticated part to "/user" instead of "/" in the middleware but it keeps on directing me to "/"

Hey @Vicidevs,

Could you share your middleware.ts file and next.config.js file?

[Vicidevs]

import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server"; import { authMiddleware, redirectToHome, redirectToLogin, } from "next-firebase-auth-edge"; import { authConfig } from "./config/server-config";

const PUBLIC_PATHS = ["/auth/register", "/auth/login", "/auth/reset-password"];

export async function middleware(request: NextRequest) { return authMiddleware(request, { loginPath: "/api/login", logoutPath: "/api/logout", apiKey: authConfig.apiKey, cookieName: authConfig.cookieName, cookieSerializeOptions: authConfig.cookieSerializeOptions, cookieSignatureKeys: authConfig.cookieSignatureKeys, serviceAccount: authConfig.serviceAccount, handleValidToken: async ({ token, decodedToken }, headers) => { // Authenticated user should not be able to access /login, /register and /reset-password routes if (PUBLIC_PATHS.includes(request.nextUrl.pathname)) { return redirectToHome(request); }

  return NextResponse.next({
    request: {
      headers,
    },
  });
},
handleInvalidToken: async (reason) => {
  console.info("Missing or malformed credentials", { reason });
  return redirectToLogin(request, {
    path: "/auth/login",
    publicPaths: PUBLIC_PATHS,
  });
},
handleError: async (error) => {
  console.error("Unhandled authentication error", { error });
  return redirectToLogin(request, {
    path: "/auth/login",
    publicPaths: PUBLIC_PATHS,
  });
},

}); }

export const config = { matcher: [ "/user/:path", "/((?!next|favicon.ico|/auth|_/firebase|api|.\.).*)", "/api/login", "/api/logout", ], };

next.config.js

/* @type {import('next').NextConfig} / const nextConfig = {};

export default nextConfig;

You are using redirectToHome helper function from next-firebase-auth-edge which redirects to / page.

You should write your own redirect function, for example:

export function redirectToUser(request: NextRequest) {
  const url = request.nextUrl.clone();
  url.pathname = '/user';

  return NextResponse.redirect(url);
}

Then, in middleware use it instead of redirectToHome:

if (PUBLIC_PATHS.includes(request.nextUrl.pathname)) {
 return redirectToUser(request);
}

[jsonkcli]

then should probably add second arg e.g "path" to redirectToHome to pass home path to the helper function. I was stuck with this too, wasn't documented. Lmk if a PR will be accepted?

[awinogrodzki]

I will introduce another function called redirectToPath that will help with your cases. I will also update docs to encourage people to write their own redirect functions for more complex use cases.

Thanks for feedback!
