Are you calling authClient or auth.api?

authClient within layout.tsx 
import { authClient } from "@/lib/auth-client";
import { Center, Container } from "@mantine/core";
import { redirect } from "next/navigation";

export default async function AuthLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
  const { data: session } = await authClient.getSession();

  console.log("session", session);
  if (session) {
    redirect("/");
  }

  return (
    <Center w="100%" h="100%">
      <Container w={420}>{children}</Container>
    </Center>
  );
}
import { authClient } from "@/lib/auth-client";
import { Center, Container } from "@mantine/core";
import { redirect } from "next/navigation";

export default async function AuthLayout({
  children,
}: {
  children: React.ReactNode;
}) {
  const { data: session } = await authClient.getSession();

  console.log("session", session);
  if (session) {
    redirect("/");
  }

  return (
    <Center w="100%" h="100%">
      <Container w={420}>{children}</Container>
    </Center>
  );
}

Since that's a server component, you should call auth.api, make sure to include headers in the fetchOptions.

Yeah. Any code ran on the server should use auth.api. If code is ran on the client, use authClient.

So, what would be "best practice" if I don't have the auth.api in NextJS because, for example, I do my authentication centrally with Express? I have a similar case, and unfortunately, it only works on localhost... 😦 https://discord.com/channels/1288403910284935179/1359765737140523060
