## What it is
@sidebase/nuxt-auth is a Nuxt 3+ module that adds authentication to universal Nuxt applications via OAuth providers, credentials, or email magic URLs. It wraps Auth.js/NextAuth.js (authjs provider) or supports custom local/refresh token flows, with built-in session management, middleware protection, and auto-generated REST API routes.

## Use cases
- add google or github oauth login to a nuxt app
- add email and password authentication to nuxt 3
- login users with magic links sent by email
- protect nuxt pages with auth middleware
- manage user sessions in vue components and composables
- refresh access tokens in the background
- use nextauth with nuxt instead of next.js

## When to choose
- you are building a Nuxt 3+ app and need authentication out of the box
- you want OAuth provider support with minimal configuration
- you want session management integrated with Nuxt composables and middleware
- you have an external backend and need a credential/refresh-token flow for a static Nuxt app

## When to avoid
- your project is not built on Nuxt/Vue
- you need full control over the auth server implementation rather than wrapping Auth.js
- you need authentication for a static-only site without any server or backend
