next-fire-auth

A lightweight Firebase authentication library for Next.js supporting both SSR and CSR components. Version 0.0.5 provides React context-based auth with automatic Firebase app initialization from environment variables or custom configuration. Key differentiators: minimal setup with automatic cookie-based session management (BaseCookieManager), path-based auth redirects via onPathChange callback, and separate client provider pattern to preserve SSR. Pitfalls: cookie caching issues with push navigation (recommends replace+refresh), requires both firebase and firebase-admin peer deps, and early-stage package with limited documentation. The library ships TypeScript definitions but has low adoption and infrequent updates.
