This template offers examples on how to utilize next.js patterns in conjuction with @whop-sdk/core to easily gate certain parts of your website.

Included exmples:

/pages (Server-side rendered):

The examples in this list show how to use getServerSideProps in the pages directoy

  • pages/ssr/index.tsx - Adds the whop User to the page props. It renders a login button for logged-out users and a logout button for logged-in users
  • pages/ssr/logged-in.tsx - Only displays a page to logged-in users. If a logged-out user tries to access this page they will be redirected to /ssr where they can log in
  • pages/ssr/product-gated.tsx - Check if a user owns a specific Product and only shows the page content if they do. If the user does not own the product a button directing the user to the whop.com checkout page where they can buy a plan that unlocks the page.

/pages (Statically rendered):

  • pages/ssg/product-gated.tsx - This example shows how to use middleware to prevent users without access to a certain Product to visit this page. If a user that does not have access tries to request this page the middleware will redirect them to the whop.com checkout page where they can buy a plan that unlocks the page.

/app:

The examples in this list show how to use @whop-sdk/core in the new app directory added in next@13.0.0

  • app/app/ssr/page.tsx: This page shows how to obtain a user-scoped instaince of the WhopSDK UserService. If its able to obtain the sdk (the user is logged-in) it shows a logout button, if not it shows a login button
  • app/app/ssr/product-gated/layout.tsx: This layout shows how to lock a layout (and its children) for users that don't own a specific product. If no product is owned it renders a button that allows the user to purchase a product unlocking the layout on whop.com
  • app/app/ssr/product-gated/page.tsx: This page is product-gated without any extra setup as its parent layout(app/app/ssr/product-gated/layout.tsx) is already product-gated
  • app/app/ssg/product-gated/page.tsx: This page is protected by middleware, conceptually similar to pages/ssg/product-gated.tsx

/api:

  • pages/api/product-gated.ts: This api route uses the user session to obtain a user-scoped instance of the WhopSDK UserService and then uses that to check if the authorised used owns a certain product.
