pass discord ID to session

I am trying to pass a users Discord ID through to the user object in session. I am aware of mapProfileToUser but not of how to use it to accomplish adding it to the session. I know how to add it custom fields to the session, just not how to get the profile object from socialProviders: { discord to custom session

why do you need the discord id in the session object just add it to request context no?

Ok my code for mapping it: 
      mapProfileToUser: (profile) => {
        if (!profile.verified) {
          throw new Error("Discord email is not verified.");
        }

        return {
          ...profile,
          discordUsername: profile.username,
          image: profile.avatar
            ? `https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/${profile.id}/${profile.avatar}.png`
            : undefined,
        };
      },
      mapProfileToUser: (profile) => {
        if (!profile.verified) {
          throw new Error("Discord email is not verified.");
        }

        return {
          ...profile,
          discordUsername: profile.username,
          image: profile.avatar
            ? `https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/${profile.id}/${profile.avatar}.png`
            : undefined,
        };
      },
And there is example code for the organizations plugin that shows how to pass data in the session before its created so use that sample: 
  databaseHooks: {
    session: {
      create: {
        before: async (session: { userId: string }) => {
          try {
            const organization = await getActiveOrganization(session.userId);
            return {
              data: {
                ...session,
                activeOrganizationId: organization.id,
              },
            };
          } catch (error) {
            console.error("Error getting active organization:", error);
            return { data: session };
          }
        },
      },
    },
  databaseHooks: {
    session: {
      create: {
        before: async (session: { userId: string }) => {
          try {
            const organization = await getActiveOrganization(session.userId);
            return {
              data: {
                ...session,
                activeOrganizationId: organization.id,
              },
            };
          } catch (error) {
            console.error("Error getting active organization:", error);
            return { data: session };
          }
        },
      },
    },
But I am interested to see how others would do this.
