Alternative Auth Providers?

[codebymattllc]

Hey all,

Totally new to Wave, but looks incredible! I'm a solo dev that has made a lot of custom, smaller apps and saas.

Being paranoid, I don't like to try new auth (no offense!). Is it possible to change this to workos/auth0 without a huge re-write?

Excited to try Wave out! Going to keep a pro subscription as a token of thanks

Hey!

Yep, this should be doable without a huge rewrite.

Wave is built on top of standard Laravel auth patterns, so you can remove the DevDojo auth package and plug in your own provider like WorkOS or Auth0. As long as your setup ends up creating a local user model and handling login/logout in a Laravel-friendly way, the rest of Wave should keep working.

The main things you would need to adapt are the login, registration, and callback flows, plus any middleware or guards Wave relies on. Most external providers fit into this model pretty cleanly.
