Handle check email verified

How do you handle the check if the account is already verified? I cannot access this data in the middleware and I am redirecting after the user navigated to a specific page which feels super off. Is there any better way?

  const sessionRes = await fetch(
    `${request.nextUrl.origin}/api/auth/get-session`,
    {
      headers: {
        cookie: request.headers.get("cookie") || "",
      },
    },
  );

  const session: Session = sessionRes.ok ? await sessionRes.json() : null;
  const isVerified = session?.user.emailVerified;

  const sessionRes = await fetch(
    `${request.nextUrl.origin}/api/auth/get-session`,
    {
      headers: {
        cookie: request.headers.get("cookie") || "",
      },
    },
  );

  const session: Session = sessionRes.ok ? await sessionRes.json() : null;
  const isVerified = session?.user.emailVerified;

Have you tried managing the handle outside the middleware and then calling it inside? For example, auth.helper.ts

const checkIfVerified = async => () {
    const session = await auth.api.getSession({
        headers: await headers()
    });

    return session?.user.emailVerified;
};

const checkIfVerified = async => () {
    const session = await auth.api.getSession({
        headers: await headers()
    });

    return session?.user.emailVerified;
};

middleware.ts

const userVerified = checkIfVerified();

const userVerified = checkIfVerified();

midleware runs on the edge so if youre using something like prisma it may not work but the snippet i sent works for me got it from the better-auth docs too

@Tee isn't this slower? I cannot imagine doing an api call on every single navigation

Tee•2mo ago

its the same thing?

HenrikOP•2mo ago

@Réno How would you handle this with a seperate backend? I use Hono (externally) Same thing as...?

Tee•2mo ago

i mean middleware always runs anyways so it will need to get the session with each req

HenrikOP•2mo ago

Ah bruh yeah you're right I forgot that I use sessions Before that I used tokens and got confused

Tee•2mo ago

it's pretty fast for me tho so you could try ig

Do you host your backend on the same origin? Because I though about hosting it somewhere else and depending on where exactly I am going to host it I think this might be a performance killer?

Tee•2mo ago

yeah my backend is in next so same origin

HenrikOP•2mo ago

okay. Maybe I am going to switch. I am going to take a look Thank you
