Complete Appwrite authentication walkthrough

Appwrite is an open-source backend server that helps developers build and scale applications. One of the key features of Appwrite is its authentication system, which allows users to securely sign in and access their accounts.

Setting up Appwrite authentication

To get started with Appwrite authentication, you first need to install and set up the Appwrite server on your backend. You can find detailed instructions for this on the Appwrite documentation.

Once your Appwrite server is up and running, you can start implementing the authentication system in your front-end application. Appwrite provides SDKs for various programming languages, including JavaScript, which makes it easier to integrate authentication into your application.

Creating a user account

The first step in authentication is to allow users to create an account. This can be done using the Appwrite SDK, which provides methods to register a new user with their email and password. After registering, the user will receive a verification email to activate their account.

Logging in

Once a user has a registered account, they can log in to your application using the Appwrite SDK. This will authenticate the user and provide them with a session token, which can be used to access protected resources in your application.

Implementing social login

Appwrite also supports social login through providers such as Google, Facebook, and GitHub. This allows users to sign in to your application using their existing social media accounts, making the authentication process more seamless.

Securing API requests

With Appwrite authentication, you can secure your API endpoints by verifying the session token provided by the SDK. This ensures that only authenticated users can access protected resources in your backend server.

Conclusion

Appwrite provides a comprehensive authentication system that makes it easy for developers to secure their applications and provide a seamless user experience. By following this walkthrough and using the Appwrite SDK, you can easily implement authentication in your web or mobile application.

When the user is successfully created. A confirmation email is sent to the user. For the user to confirm the email he needs a valid `createEmailSession`. What would be the best way to store this on a Nuxt/Next app? Should the session be created on the client side using the `createEmailSession` method or can the session be created on the server and returned to the user?

I like the simplicity of this tutorial, but one thing I think could've been done differently is the `login` feature. There's no reason to make the auth flow anymore confusing – Might be better to ditch the whole "class constructor" thing, and write the code in a straight forward way (following pattern in the Appwrite docs).

what's the right way to switch from an anonymous session to an email session in appwrite, i tried it by account.deleteSession('current') and then account.createEmailSession() but the listener only executes getUserData function after session deletion, not after session creation

Hi, thanks for this tutorial!.
Quick question, does appwrite still support an attribute type of reference? I can see it in the documentation, but can not find it as part of the drop down options.

After v0.63 we don't need manually linking the modules. Just for iOS you would need to run pod install inside iOS folder.
