[dependabot]

Bumps @clerk/nextjs from 4.31.8 to 6.22.0.

Release notes

Sourced from @​clerk/nextjs's releases.

@​clerk/nextjs@​6.22.0

Minor Changes

• Add <APIKeys /> component. This component will initially be in early access and not recommended for production usage just yet. (#5858) by @​wobsoriano

• Respect acceptsToken when returning unauthenticated session or machine object. (#6112) by @​wobsoriano

Patch Changes

• Re-organize internal types for the recently added "machine authentication" feature. (#6067) by @​wobsoriano

• Resolve machine token property mixing in discriminated unions (#6079) by @​wobsoriano

• Updated dependencies [19e9e11, 18bcb64, 2148166, 4319257, 607d333, 138f733, 4118ed7, 18bcb64, d832d91, 6842ff1, 48be55b, 183e382, 2c6f805, 97749d5]:

  • @​clerk/types@​4.60.1
  • @​clerk/backend@​2.1.0
  • @​clerk/clerk-react@​5.32.0
  • @​clerk/shared@​3.9.7

@​clerk/nextjs@​6.21.0

Minor Changes

• Introduces machine authentication, supporting four token types: api_key, oauth_token, machine_token, and session_token. For backwards compatibility, session_token remains the default when no token type is specified. This enables machine-to-machine authentication and use cases such as API keys and OAuth integrations. Existing applications continue to work without modification. (#5689) by @​wobsoriano

  You can specify which token types are allowed for a given route or handler using the acceptsToken property in the auth() helper, or the token property in the auth.protect() helper. Each can be set to a specific type, an array of types, or 'any' to accept all supported tokens.

  Example usage in Nextjs middleware:

  import { clerkMiddleware, createRouteMatcher } from '@clerk/nextjs/server';
  const isOAuthAccessible = createRouteMatcher(['/oauth(.)']);
  const isApiKeyAccessible = createRouteMatcher(['/api(.)']);
  const isMachineTokenAccessible = createRouteMatcher(['/m2m(.)']);
  const isUserAccessible = createRouteMatcher(['/user(.)']);
  const isAccessibleToAnyValidToken = createRouteMatcher(['/any(.*)']);
  export default clerkMiddleware(async (auth, req) => {
  if (isOAuthAccessible(req)) await auth.protect({ token: 'oauth_token' });
  if (isApiKeyAccessible(req)) await auth.protect({ token: 'api_key' });
  if (isMachineTokenAccessible(req)) await auth.protect({ token: 'machine_token' });
  if (isUserAccessible(req)) await auth.protect({ token: 'session_token' });
  if (isAccessibleToAnyValidToken(req)) await auth.protect({ token: 'any' });
  });
  export const config = {
  matcher: [
  '/((?!_next|[^?]\.(?:html?|css|js(?!on)|jpe?g|webp|png|gif|svg|ttf|woff2?|ico|csv|docx?|xlsx?|zip|webmanifest)).)',
  '/(api|trpc)(.*)',
