LaunchFast uses in house simple as heck server-side first Twitter OAuth 2.0 to help you authenticate users via Twitter.

You can configure it in the src/pages/api/auth/twitter.ts and src/pages/api/auth/callback/twitter.ts file.

.env
# Authentication
## Obtained from Twitter APIs
## https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/authentication/oauth-2-0/authorization-code
## Twitter OAuth 2.0 Environment Variables
TWITTER_CLIENT_ID="..."
TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET="..."
TWITTER_AUTH_CALLBACK_URL="http://127.0.0.1:3000/api/auth/callback/twitter"

src/pages/file.astro

import SignInWithTwitter from '@/components/Auth/Sign-In-With-Twitter.astro'
