When will you use this?

Use auth when students, instructors, or admins must sign in before seeing content.

• Students sign in with email or Google before accessing paid course content.
• Middleware redirects guests away from /dashboard to the login page.

Real-world: Naukri-style job board

The Recruitment team building Naukri-style job board uses Azure Static Web Apps to apply Azure Static Web Apps when building job search, apply forms, and employer dashboards. job seekers and recruiters never see the TypeScript files — they just get a fast, reliable job search, apply forms, and employer dashboards.

Production-style code

// Protect a route — check session in layout or middleware
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';

export default async function ProtectedPage() {
  const session = await getSession();
  if (!session) redirect('/login');
  return <main>Azure Static Web Apps</main>;
}

What happens in production: In Naukri-style job board, getting Azure Static Web Apps right means job seekers and recruiters trust the job search, apply forms, and employer dashboards every day.

Lesson example (start here)

Copy this smaller example first. Once it works, compare it with the real-world code above.

// Protect a route — check session in layout or middleware
import { redirect } from 'next/navigation';

export default async function ProtectedPage() {
  const session = await getSession();
  if (!session) redirect('/login');
  return <main>Azure Static Web Apps</main>;
}

Line-by-line walkthrough

How it works (big picture)

• Study the example line by line.
• Each part connects to Azure Static Web Apps.
• Edit one line, save, run npm run dev, and see what changes.

Do this on your computer

1. Configure provider or ORM per the lesson.
2. Test login and protected route.
3. Verify session cannot be forged from client alone.
4. Read the real-world section and name which part of LearnHub uses this topic.
5. Run the example locally with npm run dev and confirm the same behavior.
6. Change one value in the example (route, text, or course id) and predict what will happen before you save.

Experiments — try changing this

• Change a string or route in the example and save — watch the browser update.
• Break the code on purpose (remove a bracket), read the error overlay, then fix it.
• Change the API URL or course id and see how the page data changes.
• Use npm run dev while editing Azure Static Web Apps — the page hot-reloads on save.

Remember

You learned what Azure Static Web Apps is and when to use it in LearnHub. Practice by changing the example yourself. Use the Next link when you can explain it in your own words.
