A TypeScript library that simplifies Firebase authentication in Next.js apps across all rendering strategies (SSR, static, client-side). It manages signed HTTP-only cookies holding the Firebase user info and ID token, refreshing tokens as needed.

Use cases

• add firebase authentication to a next.js app
• access the firebase user during server-side rendering
• store firebase id tokens in secure http-only cookies
• redirect users based on auth status in next.js pages
• authenticate api requests with firebase id tokens server-side
• support both static and ssr pages with the same auth logic

When to choose

• your Next.js app mixes static and server-rendered pages and needs the Firebase user on the server
• you need the Firebase ID token server-side to call APIs
• you want cookie-based auth handling with token refresh out of the box

When to avoid

• your app is fully static and only needs the user client-side — use the Firebase JS SDK directly
• you use a backend framework other than Next.js
• you need session management decoupled from Firebase's auth model
