Hi @wise ore. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

To use NextAuth with server-side rendering (SSR) and get the user session, you can use the getSession function from next-auth/react in your getServerSideProps function. Here's an example of how you can do this:

import { getSession } from 'next-auth/react';

export const getServerSideProps = async ({ req, res }) => {
  const session = await getSession({ req });

  if (!session) {
    res.statusCode = 403;
    return { props: { drafts: [] } };
  }

  // Fetch data based on the session...
}

In this example, getSession is used to get the current user session. If there's no session (i.e., the user is not authenticated), the server responds with a 403 status code and returns no drafts.

You can then use this session data to fetch user-specific data from your database or another API. The fetched data can be passed to your page component as props.

Remember to wrap your application with the SessionProvider from next-auth/react in your _app.tsx file:

import { SessionProvider } from 'next-auth/react';
import { AppProps } from 'next/app';

const App = ({ Component, pageProps }: AppProps) => {
  return (
    <SessionProvider session={pageProps.session}>
      <Component {...pageProps} />
    </SessionProvider>
  );
};

export default App;

This will ensure that session state is shared across all pages in your Next.js application.
