## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: auth, middleware, http-server
- domain: web-development, frontend, backend, security
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: nextjs, firebase, firebase-auth, ssr, cookies, typescript, react, nodejs, web-server
