Nuxt with Prisma ORM and Kinde Auth

Hello, I'm trying to find an equivalent of the following code for Nuxt.js to connect a user signing in with Kinde to a Prisma powered database before initial page load.

import {PrismaClient} from "@prisma/client";
import {getKindeServerSession} from "@kinde-oss/kinde-auth-nextjs/server";
import {NextResponse} from "next/server";

const prisma = new PrismaClient();

export async function GET() {
    const {getUser} = getKindeServerSession();
    const user = await getUser();

    if (!user || user == null || !user.id)
        throw new Error("something went wrong with authentication" + user);

    let dbUser = await prisma.user.findUnique({
        where: {kindeId: user.id}
    });

    if (!dbUser) {
        dbUser = await prisma.user.create({
            data: {
                kindeId: user.id,
                firstName: user.given_name ?? "",
                lastName: user.family_name ?? "",
                email: user.email ?? "" // Using nullish coalescing operator to provide a default empty string value
            }
        });
    }

    return NextResponse.redirect("http://localhost:3000/dashboard");
}

import {PrismaClient} from "@prisma/client";
import {getKindeServerSession} from "@kinde-oss/kinde-auth-nextjs/server";
import {NextResponse} from "next/server";

const prisma = new PrismaClient();

export async function GET() {
    const {getUser} = getKindeServerSession();
    const user = await getUser();

    if (!user || user == null || !user.id)
        throw new Error("something went wrong with authentication" + user);

    let dbUser = await prisma.user.findUnique({
        where: {kindeId: user.id}
    });

    if (!dbUser) {
        dbUser = await prisma.user.create({
            data: {
                kindeId: user.id,
                firstName: user.given_name ?? "",
                lastName: user.family_name ?? "",
                email: user.email ?? "" // Using nullish coalescing operator to provide a default empty string value
            }
        });
    }

    return NextResponse.redirect("http://localhost:3000/dashboard");
}

The code comes from this tutorial https://kinde.com/blog/engineering/set-up-a-nextjs-app-with-prisma-orm-and-kinde-auth/ and uses the {getKindeServerSession} helper from the Next SDK to access user details from the server before the page loads — I can not see this helper in either the Nuxt or Typescript SDK. Thanks

Hey @DAvid, Thanks for reaching out. I will get a Nuxt expert team mate to help you out. Hey @DAvid, I apologise for the delay. My Nuxt team mate is speaking with my other team mate who is an expert in Prisma. I'll get back to you early next week.

@Oli - Kinde thanks for the update. Hopefully if there's a simple way to access user info from the server side in TypeScript, this can be used for other ORMs and TS based SDKs also. Thanks! @Oli - Kinde Do you have any update on this please?

Hey @DAvid, Apologies for the delay. If you are using the TS SDK or Nuxt module and you want to replicate the code above, to connect a user signing in with Kinde to a Prisma powered database before initial page load, I suggest the following. You will need to get details about the logged-in user, and if the user exists you need their ID, first name, last name and email. - In the Nuxt module, you can get these details using $auth.user object - see here - In the TypeScript SDk, you can get these details using the getUserProfile helper function: - see here Alternatively, you can use the @kinde/management-api-js from the Kinde API in your server, to get user details. Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi @Oli - Kinde thank you for getting back to me - I have tried to apply some of your advice today, but with no success. 'In the Nuxt module, you can get these details using $auth.user object - see here' Will this work on the server side before initial page load? - I thought this was just for the front end? 'In the TypeScript SDk, you can get these details using the getUserProfile helper function: - see here' Can i install @kinde-oss/kinde-typescript-sdk into the Nuxt template and get this working? If so will what import statement should I use, as I couldnt see in the docs. Alternatively, you can use the @kinde/management-api-js from the Kinde API in your server, to get user details. Can I use this inside my nuxt template to get details of an authenticated user also? Thanks for your help

Hey @DAvid, I am so terribly sorry. This message totally slipped beneath the cracks of my Discord notifications - my bad 🤦‍♂️ Are you still facing issues trying to integrate your Nuxt app with Prisma ORM and Kinde Auth?
