import { NextRequest, NextResponse } from "next/server";
 
const LOGIN_COOKIE_NAME = "payload-token";
 
export function middleware(request: NextRequest) {
    const { pathname } = request.nextUrl;
 
    // Allow static files and API routes to pass through
    if (
        pathname.startsWith('/_next/') ||

    const loginCookie = request.cookies.get(LOGIN_COOKIE_NAME);
    // console.log("loginCookie", loginCookie);
 
    // Check if the login cookie is present
    const isLoggedIn = !!loginCookie;

        return NextResponse.next();
    }
 
    // If not logged in, redirect all routes to /login
    if (!isLoggedIn && pathname !== "/login") {

// Configure the middleware to apply to all routes
export const config = {
