Set Up User Authentication in Minutes — With or Without a Standalone Database Using lihil-auth
· 5 min read
As someone who has worked on multiple web projects, I’ve found user authentication to be a recurring pain point. Whether I was integrating a third-party auth provider like Supabase, or worse — rolling my own auth system — I often found myself rewriting the same boilerplate:
-
Configuring JWTs
-
Decoding tokens from headers
-
Serializing them back
-
Hashing passwords
-
Validating login credentials
And that’s not even touching error handling, route wiring, or OpenAPI documentation.
So I built lihil-auth, a plugin system that makes user authentication a breeze. It supports both third-party platforms like Supabase and self-hosted solutions using JWT — with minimal effort.
