Type error with Clerk, Just trying to use useUser()

Hey yall I'm having an error using the useUser function in my nextjs app router project. Its saying that useUser is not a function but I import it correctly. Im just so stumped.

Solution:

For SSR use: ```ts import { auth } from '@clerk/nextjs'; ...

Never mind I found the solution I guess because useUser is a client function you have to use the "use client" for the page

For SSR use:

import { auth } from '@clerk/nextjs';

const Home = async () => {
  const { user } = auth();
   ... 
}

import { auth } from '@clerk/nextjs';

const Home = async () => {
  const { user } = auth();
   ... 
}

the function you are trying to use isnt available inside next js it is available inside normal react if you are using next js consider looking at the docs for the right function https://clerk.com/docs/references/nextjs/overview

Next.js and Clerk | Clerk

Learn how to use Clerk to quickly and easily add secure authentication and user management to your Next.js application.

I think you should rephrase your sentence because that makes it sound like you can't use clerk's hooks at all in all parts of nextjs projects.
