“Remix Authentication Tutorial: Building a Quote Wall App with User Auth”

Building a Full-Stack Quote Wall Application with Remix and User Authentication

In this tutorial, we will explore how to manage user authentication in Remix, a full-stack React framework. We will create a quote wall application where authenticated users can view and publish quotes, while unauthenticated users can only view the posts.

Setting up a Quote Wall App with Remix

To get started, we need to scaffold a basic Remix application. We will choose “Just the basics” and “Remix App Server” when prompted, and then select TypeScript as our language.

bash
npx create-remix@latest my-quote-wall-app


Next, we will add Tailwind CSS to our Remix app by installing the required packages and configuring our template paths.

bash
npm install -D tailwindcss postcss autoprefixer concurrently


Setting up the Database

For data persistence, we will use a SQLite database with Prisma. We will install the required packages and initialize Prisma with SQLite.

bash
npm install prisma @prisma/client
npx prisma init


We will then update our schema.prisma file to define our database schema.

“`prisma
model Quote {
id String @id @default(cuid())
text String
author String
createdAt DateTime @default(now())
}

model User {
id String @id @default(cuid())
username String @unique
password String
