Next auth

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

Based on the provided code, it seems like you're trying to set up authentication using NextAuth.js with a custom Credentials provider. However, the session object is returning null, which is why you're seeing "Welcome (null)".

The getServerSession function you're using in your page component is not a standard NextAuth.js function. Instead, you should use the useSession hook on the client-side or getSession on the server-side to access the session data.

Here's how you can use getSession in a server-side rendered page:

import { getSession } from 'next-auth/client'

export async function getServerSideProps(context) {
  const session = await getSession(context)
  return {
    props: { session }
  }
}

function Page({ session }) {
  return (
    <>
      <pre>Verification succeeded! Please wait...</pre>
      <pre>Welcome {JSON.stringify(session)}</pre>
    </>
  )
}

export default Page

In this code, getSession is used inside getServerSideProps to fetch the session data on each request. The session data is then passed as a prop to the page component.

If you're still having issues, make sure your NextAuth.js configuration is correct and that the session is being correctly set in your authorize function. You can refer to the NextAuth.js documentation (https://next-auth.js.org/configuration/pages) and the Vercel guide on setting up NextAuth.js (https://vercel.com/guides/nextjs-prisma-postgres) for more information.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

I see, you're using the app directory introduced in Next.js 13. The app directory can be used alongside the pages directory for incremental adoption, and it supports shared layouts, nested routing, loading states, error handling, and more.

However, the way you access the session data with NextAuth.js doesn't change whether you're using the app or pages directory. You should still use the getSession function on the server-side or the useSession hook on the client-side.

Here's how you can use getSession in a server-side rendered page within the app directory:

import { getSession } from 'next-auth/client'

export async function getServerSideProps(context) {
  const session = await getSession(context)
  return {
    props: { session }
  }
}

function Page({ session }) {
  return (
    <>
      <pre>Verification succeeded! Please wait...</pre>
      <pre>Welcome {JSON.stringify(session)}</pre>
    </>
  )
}

export default Page

In this code, getSession is used inside getServerSideProps to fetch the session data on each request. The session data is then passed as a prop to the page component.

If you're still having issues, make sure your NextAuth.js configuration is correct and that the session is being correctly set in your authorize function.

I apologize for the confusion. As of the information provided in the extracts, the latest stable version mentioned is Next.js 13.4. There's no mention of Next.js 14 or any changes that it might bring to the way NextAuth.js or session handling works.

However, regardless of the Next.js version, the way to access session data with NextAuth.js should remain the same. You should use the getSession function on the server-side or the useSession hook on the client-side.

If you're experiencing issues with NextAuth.js on Next.js 14, I would recommend checking the official Next.js and NextAuth.js documentation or their respective GitHub repositories for any updates or breaking changes related to this version.
