Dedicated Auth Pages - Complete Implementation

Overview

Instead of a modal popup, the application now has dedicated professional sign-in and sign-up pages. This solves the browser popup-blocker issue and provides a better user experience.

✅ What Was Implemented

1. Professional Sign-In Page

Location: /app/signin/page.tsx
URL: http://localhost:3001/signin

Features:

  • Modern split layout (form on left, gradient background on right)
  • Email/password authentication
  • OAuth buttons (Google, GitHub, Facebook, Discord)
  • "Forgot password?" link
  • Link to sign-up page
  • Redirect parameter support for post-login navigation

Design:

  • Professional gradient backgrounds
  • Rounded corners and shadows
  • Dark mode support
  • Responsive (stacks on mobile)

2. Professional Sign-Up Page

Location: /app/signup/page.tsx
URL: http://localhost:3001/signup

Features:

  • Split layout design matching sign-in
  • Form fields: First Name, Last Name, Email, Password, Confirm Password
  • Real-time password strength validation (8-20 chars, uppercase, number, no spaces)
  • OAuth buttons for quick registration
  • Link to sign-in page
  • Redirect parameter support

Design:

  • Matches sign-in page aesthetic
  • Cyan gradient on right side
  • Password strength indicator with checkmarks
  • Mobile responsive

3. Navigation Updated

File: components/Navbar.tsx

Changes:

  • "Sign In" button now links to /signin
  • "Get Started" button now links to /signup
  • Removed AuthModal import (no longer needed)
  • Cleaner component without modal state

4. OAuth Callback Handler

Location: /app/auth-callback/page.tsx

Purpose:

  • Receives OAuth callback from OAuth providers
  • Checks if user is authenticated
  • Redirects to specified URL or /account/webinars
  • Handles errors gracefully

Flow:

OAuth Provider → /auth/google/callback → /auth-callback → User Dashboard
                                        (with redirect param)

5. OAuth Callback Routes Updated

Files:

  • app/auth/google/callback/route.ts
  • app/auth/github/callback/route.ts
  • app/auth/facebook/callback/route.ts
  • app/auth/discord/callback/route.ts

Changes:

  • All now support redirect query parameter
  • Pass redirect URL through to callback page
  • Proper error handling

🔄 OAuth Redirect Flow

Email/Password Sign-In

1. User visits /signin
2. Enters email & password
3. Clicks "Sign In"
4. /api/auth/login processes credentials
5. Redirects to /account/webinars (or custom redirect URL)

OAuth Sign-In

1. User visits /signin
2. Clicks "Continue with Google" button
3. Redirects to /api/auth/google
4. BetterAuth redirects to Google login
5. Google redirects back to /auth/google/callback?code=...&redirect=/account/webinars
6. Route handler processes OAuth
7. Redirects to /auth-callback?redirect=/account/webinars
8. Auth callback page checks session
9. Redirects to /account/webinars

Email/Password Sign-Up

1. User visits /signup
2. Fills form (first name, last name, email, password)
3. Password strength validation happens in real-time
4. Clicks "Sign Up"
5. /api/auth/register creates account
6. Redirects to /account/webinars (or custom redirect URL)

OAuth Sign-Up

1. User visits /signup
2. Clicks "Continue with Google" button
3. Same OAuth flow as sign-in
4. First-time user automatically created in database
5. Redirects to /account/webinars

🔗 Custom Redirect URLs

How to Use Redirect Parameter

Sign-In with Redirect:

http://localhost:3001/signin?redirect=/account/settings

Sign-Up with Redirect:

http://localhost:3001/signup?redirect=/webinars

The redirect parameter is:

  • Extracted from URL query params
  • Defaults to /account/webinars if not specified
  • Passed through entire OAuth flow
  • Used to redirect after authentication

Example Use Cases

# Redirect to specific webinar after signup
/signup?redirect=/webinars/123

# Redirect to settings after signin
/signin?redirect=/account/settings

# Redirect to admin dashboard
/signin?redirect=/admin

# Default (no redirect param)
/signin  →  /account/webinars

📱 Browser Popup Blocker Solution

Old Approach (Modal):

  • AuthModal was a popup/modal on same page
  • Browsers didn't block it
  • But modern apps prefer dedicated pages
  • Users expected full-page auth experience

New Approach (Dedicated Pages):

  • ✅ No popup blocking issues
  • ✅ Full-page experience
  • ✅ Better mobile experience
  • ✅ SEO-friendly URLs
  • ✅ Shareable auth links
  • ✅ Standard web practice

🎨 Design Features

Sign-In Page

  • Left: White form area (light) / Slate 900 (dark)
  • Right: Gradient background (blue → purple)
  • Split layout on large screens, stacks on mobile

Sign-Up Page

  • Left: White form area (light) / Slate 900 (dark)
  • Right: Gradient background (cyan → purple)
  • Grid layout for first/last name inputs
  • Password strength indicator with real-time feedback

Colors

  • Primary buttons: Blue (#2563EB)
  • OAuth buttons: Provider brand colors
  • Backgrounds: White/Slate with gradients
  • Dark mode: Slate 800/900 backgrounds

Responsive

  • Mobile: Full-width form, background hidden
  • Tablet: Split starts
  • Desktop: Full split layout with background
