Hi, was there any answer to this question? I'm going through the same problem. I'm not sure if I should create a new type extending express's Request or if there is a built-in type with generics from passport/nest that I could use

I like to create an interface that extends the standard request and adds the fields that I need to it. Just seems to work more reliably than relying on passports types (especially when working with tests too)

Thanks! I'll follow along with that, then 🙂
