useSession weird behaviour

Does it work if you call useCurrentUser right in useNotificationsQuery ?

useSession weird behaviour

Oh okay, so in the first place you cannot do session.data!.user.id because in the first render, session.data will not be defined, since it's client side it will have a little throttle (bcs of the cookie storage). So the error say that he's waiting for the user is right. Here's what i did :

export const useCurrentUser = () => {
  const session = useSession();
  const user = session.data?.user;

  if (!user) {
    return null;
  }

  return user;
};

export const useCurrentUser = () => {
  const session = useSession();
  const user = session.data?.user;

  if (!user) {
    return null;
  }

  return user;
};

export const useCurrentSession = () => {
  const session = useSession();
  const sessionData = session.data;

  if (!sessionData) {
    return null;
  }

  return sessionData;
};

export const useCurrentSession = () => {
  const session = useSession();
  const sessionData = session.data;

  if (!sessionData) {
    return null;
  }

  return sessionData;
};

Hey, you are trying to access the useSession in a server context, which is a hook reserved to client side. What you should do, in a server context, is something like this :

// src/lib/auth.ts
export const auth = betterAuth({...});

// src/lib/auth.ts
export const auth = betterAuth({...});

// app/dashboard/layout.tsx
  const headerStore = await headers();
  const user = await auth.api.getSession({ headers: headerStore });

// app/dashboard/layout.tsx
  const headerStore = await headers();
  const user = await auth.api.getSession({ headers: headerStore });

If you really want to use useSession(), you should add "use client" in the top of your file

Is it a possible to use a relation table as type for fields in additionalFields ? (beginner 😅)

Oups, that was for testing purposes. I just missed the fact that i needed customSessionClient instead of inferAdditionalFields Now everything is fully typed, even the relation with pages

export const authClient = createAuthClient({
  /** The base URL of the server (optional if you're using the same domain) */
  baseURL: getServerUrl(),
  plugins: [customSessionClient<typeof auth>()],
});

export const authClient = createAuthClient({
  /** The base URL of the server (optional if you're using the same domain) */
  baseURL: getServerUrl(),
  plugins: [customSessionClient<typeof auth>()],
});

What's your opinion about this ? ✅ Is it okay to include pages directly in the session 🤔 Or is it better to keep the session lightweight and fetch /me on the client side
