Nuxt useKindeClient not working properly

Hello, I'm trying to use Kinde with Nuxt, the module is quite barebones and doesnt seem to support all things, a few things I want to do: 1. Custom Sign In / Sign Up 2. useKindeClient does not work both on server/api/auth/login.ts as an api route, neither in any of the components on part of the tutorials I see:

const client = useKindeClient();

const {data: permissions} = await useAsyncData(async () => {
  const {permissions} = (await client?.getPermissions()) ?? {};
  return permissions;
});
// { orgCode: 'org_1234', permissions: ['create:todos', 'update:todos', 'read:todos'] }

const {data: hasAccess} = await useAsyncData(async () => {
  return (await client?.getPermission("create:todos")) ?? {};
});
// { orgCode: 'org_1234', isGranted: true }

const client = useKindeClient();

const {data: permissions} = await useAsyncData(async () => {
  const {permissions} = (await client?.getPermissions()) ?? {};
  return permissions;
});
// { orgCode: 'org_1234', permissions: ['create:todos', 'update:todos', 'read:todos'] }

const {data: hasAccess} = await useAsyncData(async () => {
  return (await client?.getPermission("create:todos")) ?? {};
});
// { orgCode: 'org_1234', isGranted: true }

but this code does not specify where this should run, backend or frontend, frontend wise does not run; and I cant try on the backend since it does not import useKindeClient (auto-imports any help appreciated.

In server routes you can access the kinde client like this:

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
    const kindeClient = event.context.kinde;

    // Or call a function directly
    const kindeAccessToken = await event.context.kinde.getToken();
}

export default defineEventHandler(async (event) => {
    const kindeClient = event.context.kinde;

    // Or call a function directly
    const kindeAccessToken = await event.context.kinde.getToken();
}

The useKindeClient() composable is server only according to this note on the module page, which means it will only run on the server when the components are being pre-rendered and not again in the browser: https://nuxt.com/modules/kinde#usekindeclient

Also, here's an example of using the useKindeClient composable in a .vue file: https://github.com/nuxt-modules/kinde/blob/main/playground%2Fpages%2Fdashboard.vue

got it, thank you, but would be nice to have both ClientSide and ServerSide instances, something like nuxt supabase has done.
