authMiddleware() is deprecated. Update the video with clerkMiddleware()

[LVSSandeepKumar]

authMiddleware() is deprecated by the time of your youtube video release.

Reference :- https://clerk.com/docs/references/nextjs/auth-middleware

As mentioned in the above link, we should be using clerkMiddleware(). So I would like to request you to update the video with clerkMiddleware().

Also there is a buzz (Even I'm not sure) that we don't need NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_UP_URL & NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_IN_URL anymore. Plz checkout and update the content.

Thank you.

Potential solution

The task involves updating the middleware in a Next.js application to use the new clerkMiddleware instead of the deprecated authMiddleware. Additionally, we need to verify if the environment variables NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_UP_URL and NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_IN_URL are still required.

How to implement

Step 1: Update middleware.ts

1. Open the middleware.ts file in your code editor.
2. Update the import statement to import clerkMiddleware from @clerk/nextjs.
3. Replace the authMiddleware function call with clerkMiddleware.

Updated middleware.ts:

import { clerkMiddleware } from "@clerk/nextjs";

export default clerkMiddleware({
    publicRoutes: ['/']
});

export const config = {
  matcher: ["/((?!.+.[w]+$|_next).*)", "/", "/(api|trpc)(.*)"],
};

Step 2: Verify Environment Variables

1. Review Clerk Documentation:

   • Visit the Clerk Middleware Documentation to verify the current requirements for environment variables.

2. Update .env.local:

   • If the documentation confirms that NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_UP_URL and NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_IN_URL are no longer needed, you can leave the .env.local file as it is (empty) or remove any existing references to these variables.

3. Code Changes:

   • Ensure that any code referencing NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_UP_URL and NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_IN_URL is updated or removed accordingly.

Step 3: Test the Application

1. Run your application to ensure that the middleware is functioning correctly with the new clerkMiddleware.
2. Test the sign-up and sign-in processes to ensure they function correctly without the removed environment variables.

By following these steps, you will successfully update the middleware to use the new clerkMiddleware as per the latest Clerk documentation and verify the necessity of the environment variables.

Changes on middleware.ts

To address the issue of the deprecated `authMiddleware()` and update it to `clerkMiddleware()`, you need to make the following changes to the `middleware.ts` file: 1. **Import `clerkMiddleware` instead of `authMiddleware`**: Update the import statement to use `clerkMiddleware`. 2. **Replace the usage of `authMiddleware` with `clerkMiddleware`**: Update the function call accordingly. Here's the updated `middleware.ts` file: ```typescript import { clerkMiddleware } from "@clerk/nextjs"; export default clerkMiddleware({ publicRoutes:['/'] }); export const config = { matcher: ["/((?!.+.[w]+$|_next).*)", "/", "/(api|trpc)(.*)"], }; ``` ### Steps to Implement the Changes: 1. **Open the `middleware.ts` file** in your code editor. 2. **Update the import statement** to import `clerkMiddleware` from `@clerk/nextjs`. 3. **Replace the `authMiddleware` function call** with `clerkMiddleware`. ### Verification: 1. **Run your application** to ensure that the middleware is functioning correctly with the new `clerkMiddleware`. 2. **Check the Clerk documentation** to confirm if there are any additional configuration changes needed for `clerkMiddleware`. ### Additional Task: For the `.env.local` file, you need to verify if `NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_UP_URL` and `NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_IN_URL` are still required. If they are not needed, you can remove them. This will be handled separately by another agent as per the task division. By following these steps, you will successfully update the middleware to use the new `clerkMiddleware` as per the latest Clerk documentation.

Changes on .env.local

It appears that the `.env.local` file is currently empty. To address the user's request, we need to verify if the environment variables `NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_UP_URL` and `NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_IN_URL` are still required by the Clerk middleware. Here’s a practical proposal to solve the task: 1. **Check Clerk Documentation**: Review the latest Clerk documentation to confirm whether `NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_UP_URL` and `NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_IN_URL` are still necessary. 2. **Update Environment Variables**: If the documentation confirms that these variables are no longer needed, you can safely remove any references to them in the `.env.local` file and other parts of the codebase. 3. **Test the Application**: Ensure that the application works correctly without these environment variables. This includes testing the sign-up and sign-in flows to ensure they redirect appropriately. ### Steps to Implement: 1. **Review Documentation**: - Visit the [Clerk Middleware Documentation](https://clerk.com/docs/references/nextjs/auth-middleware) to verify the current requirements for environment variables. 2. **Update `.env.local`**: - If the variables are confirmed to be unnecessary, you can leave the `.env.local` file as it is (empty) or remove any existing references to these variables. 3. **Code Changes**: - Ensure that any code referencing `NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_UP_URL` and `NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_IN_URL` is updated or removed accordingly. 4. **Testing**: - Run the application and test the sign-up and sign-in processes to ensure they function correctly without the removed environment variables. Since the `.env.local` file is currently empty, there are no immediate changes needed in this file. The primary focus should be on verifying the necessity of the environment variables and updating the middleware implementation in the `middleware.ts` file. If you need further assistance with the `middleware.ts` file or any other part of the codebase, please let me know!

authMiddleware() is deprecated by the time of your youtube video release.

Reference :- https://clerk.com/docs/references/nextjs/auth-middleware

As mentioned in the above link, we should be using clerkMiddleware(). So I would like to request you to update the video with clerkMiddleware().

Also there is a buzz (Even I'm not sure) that we don't need NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_UP_URL & NEXT_CLERK_AFTER_SIGN_IN_URL anymore. Plz checkout and update the content.

Thank you.

Alright thanks for the notice. I will update the course
