Setup Authentication Strategies and Services

Nest-Init provides a guided questionnaire to configure authentication services and strategies for your NestJS project. To begin, run the following command:

nest-init add-auth

This command initiates a series of prompts where you can select the options that best fit your project requirements:

Normal Authentication

• Implement local username/password authentication.

Social Authentication

• Implement authentication using Facebook, Google, and Github OAuth services.

Resetting Password

• Enable a built-in password resetting functionality for your project.

Authentication Strategies

• Nest-Init provides flexible authentication strategies to secure your application based on your project's requirements:

JWT (JSON Web Tokens)

Implement stateless authentication using JWTs, which are compact tokens verified by the server based on contained claims.

Sessions

Supports session-based authentication for managing server-side session states, ideal for applications requiring stateful interactions with clients.
