Hi @magic scarab. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
To conditionally show a button based on whether a session is valid, you can use Astro's ability to conditionally display HTML using JSX logical operators and ternary expressions.
First, you need to check if the user is authenticated. This can be done by verifying the user's session cookie. Here's an example of how you can do this:
const auth = getAuth(app);
if (Astro.cookies.has("session")) {
const sessionCookie = Astro.cookies.get("session").value;
const decodedCookie = await auth.verifySessionCookie(sessionCookie);
if (decodedCookie) {
return Astro.redirect("/dashboard");
}
}

Once you have the authentication status, you can conditionally render the button in your Astro component. Here's an example of how you can do this:
---
const isAuthenticated = /* Your authentication check here */;
---
{isAuthenticated && <button>Authenticated User Button</button>}
In this example, the button will only be rendered if isAuthenticated is true.
