Getting so many errors related to mongo db

For database mongo db atlas

Why are you fetching the api with axios

lonelyplanet•2/20/25, 7:54 AM

Have a read of https://www.better-auth.com/docs/concepts/api#calling-api-endpoints-on-the-server

API | Better Auth

Better Auth API.

lonelyplanet•2/20/25, 7:54 AM

This is the correct way to call an endpoint server side

lonelyplanet•2/20/25, 7:55 AM

The console errors is you are trying to call the mongodb in a client component aka in the browser environment

I recommend have a solid look at the docs and also chatgpt wont know what to do as it probably wont have knowledge on it yet

NekoDevOP•2/20/25, 7:56 AM

Then I should only call mongo db in server

lonelyplanet•2/20/25, 7:57 AM

lonelyplanet•2/20/25, 8:00 AM

NekoDevOP•2/20/25, 8:02 AM

Are you confident that you implement all of these technologies together?

NekoDevOP•2/20/25, 8:11 AM

Well I couldn't understand fully

I'm not confident

But will make it work it's my determination

Im making saas platform

So I need to learn these technologies

And my method (try and try again )may be inefficient but I like it

I first took help of youtube
Then llms then I'm here

Llonelyplanet What is your page for login

If you're using the next middleware, it's completely fine to use axios.
You can't use the better-auth instance in middleware since Next middleware doesn't support Node (yet)

Ping•2/20/25, 8:39 AM

In saying that, it's also possible that axios doesn't work in middleware too.

Ping•2/20/25, 8:44 AM

I would recommend you move your middleware verification logic to check at a per-page level, instead of in the middleware.
It's still fine to do this, I just wouldn't recommend it.

If you want to continue using middleware, then I recommend you look into better-fetch and utilize better-fetch to fetch your session using that same route, instead of using axios since I can't verify if that works or not.

NekoDevOP•2/20/25, 8:53 AM

I will remove the middleware completely and implement per page logic

Since I don't want to add one more complex piece of puzzle to it

And thank you

Make sure to run authentication on a server component to ensure the user is allowed to view that page.
If they are not allowed, use Next.js built-in functionallity to redirect users away. (eg )

Ping•2/20/25, 8:55 AM

You can get the users session like so:

make sure to import

headers

headers

from

next/headers

next/headers

I will try and surely update you
