The recent update enhances security features in a Next.js application by introducing protection mechanisms for both page components and API route handlers. New functions, protectPage and protectApi, have been implemented to enforce authentication, roles, and permissions. These functions are now accessible throughout the application as they are exported in the server index file.
Changes
| File | Change Summary |
|---|---|
src/handlers/protect.js |
Added protectPage and protectApi functions to manage authentication and authorization for pages and APIs. |
src/server/index.js |
Exported protectPage and protectApi from ../handlers/protect and adjusted the export formatting for handleAuth. |

New Features and Improvements
## Review Settings Introduced new personality profiles for code reviews. Users can now select between "Chill" and "Assertive" review tones to tailor feedback styles according to their preferences. The "Assertive" profile posts more comments and nitpicks the code more aggressively, while the "Chill" profile is more relaxed and posts fewer comments. ## AST-based Instructions CodeRabbit offers customizing reviews based on the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) pattern matching. Read more about AST-based instructions in the [documentation](https://docs.coderabbit.ai/guides/review-instructions#ast-based). ## Community-driven AST-based Rules We are kicking off a community-driven initiative to create and share AST-based rules. Users can now contribute their AST-based rules to detect security vulnerabilities, code smells, and anti-patterns. Please see the [ast-grep-essentials](https://github.com/coderabbitai/ast-grep-essentials) repository for more information. ## New Static Analysis Tools We are continually expanding our support for static analysis tools. We have added support for `biome`, `hadolint`, and `ast-grep`. Update the settings in your `.coderabbit.yaml` file or head over to the settings page to enable or disable the tools you want to use. ## Tone Settings Users can now customize CodeRabbit to review code in the style of their favorite characters or personalities. Here are some of our favorite examples: - Mr. T: "You must talk like Mr. T in all your code reviews. I pity the fool who doesn't!" - Pirate: "Arr, matey! Ye must talk like a pirate in all yer code reviews. Yarrr!" - Snarky: "You must be snarky in all your code reviews. Snark, snark, snark!" ## Revamped Settings Page We have redesigned the settings page for a more intuitive layout, enabling users to find and adjust settings quickly. This change was long overdue; it not only improves the user experience but also allows our development team to add more settings in the future with ease. Going forward, the changes to `.coderabbit.yaml` will be reflected in the settings page, and vice versa. ## Miscellaneous - Turn off free summarization: You can switch off free summarization of PRs opened by users not on a paid plan using the `enable_free_tier` setting. - Knowledge-base scope: You can now set the scope of the knowledge base to either the repository (`local`) or the organization (`global`) level using the `knowledge_base` setting. In addition, you can specify Jira project keys and Linear team keys to limit the knowledge base scope for those integrations. - High-level summary placement: You can now customize the location of the high-level summary in the PR description using the `high_level_summary_placeholder` setting (default `@coderabbitai summary`). - Revamped request changes workflow: You can now configure CodeRabbit to auto-approve or request changes on PRs based on the review feedback using the `request_changes_workflow` setting.

Adding a protectPage function
Adding a function to wrap a Page component that will implement basic authentication on a component level instead of using a middleware or rewriting authentication logic in every component you want to protect.
The reason I think this is a valuable contribution is because a big part of component development is that you don't separate by concerns but rather by functionality. moving the authentication to a separate file (middleware.ts) I think kinda contradicts that. On the other hand, writing the authentication logic in every protected route can get really repetitive so being able to authenticate in the page file but also not rewrite code possibly tens of times in a project is a useful feature.
the way it would be used is
This may also be a good option for protecting layouts so you can protect any nested routes under it.
I also added a way to check for roles and permissions that can be expanded on.
