LensQuest

vinext-starter

A clean full-stack starter running on vinext, with optional Cloudflare D1 and Drizzle support.

Prerequisites

• Node.js >=22.13.0

Quick Start

npm install
npm run dev
npm run build

This starter does not use wrangler.jsonc.

Included Shape

• edit site code under app/
• .openai/hosting.json declares optional Sites D1 and R2 bindings
• vite.config.ts simulates declared bindings for local development
• db/schema.ts starts intentionally empty
• examples/d1/ contains an optional D1 example surface
• drizzle.config.ts supports local migration generation when needed

Workspace Auth Headers

Signed-in visitors receive both oai-authenticated-user-id and oai-authenticated-user-email. Private Sites require every visitor to sign in; public Sites may also have anonymous visitors, for whom neither header is present.

The user ID is stable for the same user on the same Site and different across Sites. Email and name are intended for display or contact purposes.

SIWC-authenticated workspace sites may also receive oai-authenticated-user-full-name when the user’s SIWC profile has a non-empty name claim. The full-name value is percent-encoded UTF-8 and is accompanied by oai-authenticated-user-full-name-encoding: percent-encoded-utf-8.

Treat the full name as optional and fall back to email when it is absent:

import { headers } from "next/headers";

export default async function Home() {
  const requestHeaders = await headers();
  const userId = requestHeaders.get("oai-authenticated-user-id");
  const email = requestHeaders.get("oai-authenticated-user-email");
  const encodedFullName = requestHeaders.get("oai-authenticated-user-full-name");
  const fullName =
    encodedFullName &&
    requestHeaders.get("oai-authenticated-user-full-name-encoding") ===
      "percent-encoded-utf-8"
      ? decodeURIComponent(encodedFullName)
      : null;

  const displayName = fullName ?? email;
  // ...
}

Optional Dispatch-Owned ChatGPT Sign-In

Import the ready-to-use helpers from app/chatgpt-auth.ts when the site needs optional or required ChatGPT sign-in:

• Use getChatGPTUser() for optional signed-in UI.
• Use requireChatGPTUser(returnTo) for server-rendered pages that should send anonymous visitors through Sign in with ChatGPT.
• Use chatGPTSignInPath(returnTo) and chatGPTSignOutPath(returnTo) for browser links or actions.
• Pass a same-origin relative returnTo path for the destination after sign-in or sign-out. The helper validates and safely encodes it.
• Mark protected pages with export const dynamic = "force-dynamic" because they depend on per-request identity headers.

Dispatch owns /signin-with-chatgpt, /signout-with-chatgpt, /callback, the OAuth cookies, and identity header injection. Do not implement app routes for those reserved paths. Routes that do not import and call the helper remain anonymous-compatible.

SIWC establishes identity only; it does not prove workspace membership. Use the Sites hosting platform’s access policy controls for workspace-wide restrictions, or enforce explicit server-side membership or allowlist checks.

Use SIWC for account pages, user-specific dashboards, saved records, and write actions tied to the current ChatGPT user. Leave public content anonymous.
