    (dd > 9 ? "" : "0") + dd,

Side note: nothing is stopping you from using .js, that will also work. But since it is typescript, the extension should indicate that

ok thanks! My react component takes in a response object, how do I (do I need to) specify the type in the argument?

export default function Portfolio({ _res = null, currentUser = null })

export default function Portfolio({ _res = null, currentUser = null })

Im a ocmplete TS newbie

Matvey•2y ago

there is a useSession hook in NextAuth for getting the current user
