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
