Build 11: Adding Authorization for Protected Pages

Add user authorization for protected pages

In web development, we typically create at least two different environments: development (dev) and production (prod). You can think of them as two different versions of your application. 

Development is where we are able to run a version of our application that has the changes we want to build. We can use this environment to test things out and see how our changes are working without actually affecting real users. It's where we can experiment without the risk of causing a bad user experience. 

Production is where we run a version that our real users actually use. We move changes from development to production when we believe the changes are tested and ready for prime time. When this happens, it's called deploying to production. 

In the top right hand corner of your Bubble app, next to the Preview button, there’s a button that says “Development”. This is Bubble’s way of specifying that you are in the development environment. 

Click on the development button and you’ll see a dropdown with an option to deploy the current version to live. Click on it.

Bubble will ask you to provide a message. Write something that you can use to identify later like “initial deployment”. Then deploy.

Your changes will then be deployed to the production URL  which will be 'your-app-name.bubbleapps.io'. You can also access it by switching to the live version of your app in the same dropdown menu and then clicking preview. 

Congrats! Your app is now live and you can share it with the world!

If you would like to serve your app from a custom domain, you’ll need to upgrade your Bubble plan. Once you upgrade, follow these 

 on how to serve your app at your custom domain.
