Next Auth - JWT & Session Callback & How to Update User Session 

this video is wonderfull sir , i have watched many a videos related to next auth and was struggling with it since 1 month but after seeing your 2 videos all my doubts came to an end , this is the best video on internet on next auth , thank you soo much sir

Finally I found a way to do this, I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Thanks, awesome video.

Thank you so very much !! Your "The Ultimate Guide to Next Auth" video and this one are SUPER for beginners and probably the most thorough content on RU-vid on Next-Auth. May be, if you have time and energy, sometime in future, a nice relaxed discussion, or a nifty little series on JWT + cookies + session + authentication + authorization + database session etc especially in light of NextJS + NextAuth would be fantastic. I guess this is how we beginners are !! Greedy !! :-). Once more, MAGNIFICENT, FABULOUS. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH !!!

This is my second tutorial from Brett, this was amazing thanks so much. You make wath seems very complicated and you simplify it for us. Thanks again

Thank you for being (seemingly) the only person anywhere to explain the callbacks in NextAuth. This was a huge help!

This is the best video on callbacks I have seen. Thank you for walking through it in such a systematic manner.

man you're doing great job. Nextjs has no many tutorials out there that highlight things as you do. Highly appreciated!

Great video man. Just what i needed. Everything explained clearly and perfectly.

You just earned a new follower bro. I have been struggling with session updates for a while but you just made it look so easy. Thanks ❤

Thank you so much for doing such high quality content around nextauth callbacks!! Helped me so much.

Much better than other tutorials, thank you very much !

Thanks man ! it really helped a lot. No other tutorial regarding callback with mongo is out there. Would love to see more like these.😃

Honestly, this is the best video ever on this topic. I've been struggling with NextAuth - "in my opinion, the documentation is either bad or I'm just dumb" - but it was explained so well! Subscribed.

Best of the best video and teaching style. Thumbs up. You solved my issue. Best regards

Thank you, you just help me solve my problem on adding additional session.

This tutorial literally just saved my life

You actually cooked with this tutorial no other tutorial like this.

Dude, this earned you a subscribe, and i still didn't finish the video. Thanks!

Thanks for your great content! You're doing a great job at explaining. keep going :)

thanks . that's the thing iam looking for and i got it after 3 days of search

bravo couldn't navigate next-auth in the app directory without you

Perfect video, just what i looking for!

wish i could like this vid a hundred times.Thanks Brett🙌

Great, I'm learning nextjs with these videos I already took a big step

This video helped me a lot. I appreciate it

Thank you man! you've saved me today!

Good job broh! Great content!

The Complete T3 Stack Course would be game changing!

Thanks. this video really helps me

Amazing video! I hope you create like a full admin dashboard tutorial using the credentials provider

thanks for the video , from argentina

Great explanation, thank you!!!!

amazing video king. earned a subscriber👌👌

Well done video, I've learnt a lot from it.

Thanks!

nice job! tksss a lot!

Its Really Helpful video for me

Big help

Your video helped me a lot. thank you In my program, I can retrieve sessions from ssr and csr, and update session information through update() in csr. Is there a way to update the session in ssr?

omg this video saving me

how do you pass data from the login form to the signIn callback?

Thank you for explaining the callback functions it helped me in my project! Can you also make a video on "Remember Me" functionality with Next Auth?

Thanks bro for very helpful video. But I want return accessToken for middleware authentication, how can I achieve it?

i tried do the same, but when i tried to pass phone number on async jwt() passing like: phone: user.phone i got error like this: Property 'phone' does not exist on type 'User | AdapterUser'. Property 'telefone' does not exist on type 'User'.ts(2339) any i dont understande why cause i am confirmed get all data i need on user

Hello, I am developing the front-end of a project with Next.js, but the back-end of the project is in Django. I want to know if I can use NextAuth for authentication without causing any issues with the Django back-end? Also, could you advise me on whether I should store the token in a cookie or use NextAuth? Please guide me.

any extension you use in the console? i can't find it in the console

man, can u please teach me how to get the jwt token genereted by next in account parameter? mine is always undefined

How create custom login with email and pass only?

You are perfect

How do you console log so fast?

ahh very nice if someone just change the token name and update this, then what happen? rather then using pure id name, jwt isn't better? so anyone can't see the user id? the user id is available on the client without encoding. am i wrong?

Thanks for the great content! I really appreciate it. I have one question when updating the name field on line 72 in JWT callback function @29:24. I expected that the return block on line 64 would prevent the update from happening and would return token before even reaching the database. Do you know why that return didn't happen at all on line 64, but further processing happened on line 72? Thanks

Great job, how to update adress and name ?

this is a great video. you should have used typescript though!

Refresh tokens how

I have a question about managing the database using the update function. It works well if we want to update one value in the user model. However, if I want to change once a name, once an address, and another time a property in a completely different model, the update function will not work. For database management, isn't it better to create API endpoints that are called by fetch? The data would be retrieved using useSWR, updated using fetch (POST, PUT or DELETE), and only the user ID would be contained in the session object. Am I right?

Using NextAuth EmailProvider and trying to set a mergeLocalCartToServer: true flag on session during initial signin. Neither signIn nor JWT callbacks are triggered, only session. How can I set it only on initial signin? Any guidance is super appreciated.

this is super helpful, thanks a lot. how to fix typescript errors since it shows errors trying to accept my custom properties in the useSession() hook or getServerSession, ```Property 'type' does not exist on type '{ name?: string | null | undefined; email?: string | null | undefined; image?: string | null | undefined; }'.```

Hi, I have some doubts about using next-auth, what if i want to have an external api? I dont see a way of making the authorization for that external api routes using the jwt generated in the client-server in a simple wa ,maybe sending the user and checking if exist in the db in a middleware in the node external server but i dont think is a good practice, is there any way of generating the jwt on the external api and refresh it and keep using next auth? I ask this bc in the future I dont know if i will have a mobile app, and leave all api responsabilities to next.js doesnt seem to be that good

After initial login, I want to redirect the user to a form to fill out additional information, what would be the best way to implement that? By using a middleware that calls after the initial login or can I do that with the callback?

If you refresh the page at 21:27 then the "id" and "address" properties will be gone from the "user" object. But they'll be added again if you click on a different browser tab and then return the the browser tab containing the app. Anyone know how to preserve those new properties on the session even after a page refresh? I've been struggling with this for a few days...

I've got an error. Even though user is logged in session returns undefined, im using it in serverside component

thanks for the tutorial. it was very helpful. however, I cannot make the getServerSession method to work. it returns only the out of the box properties. any pointers? thanks in advance

Okay but how will you update the session data from database. Let's say I have a property user_roule on User which is changed by admin. I would like to update the session data and see fi the role is changed.

hey, you have done for credentials provider right, can we do it for other providers like google and how?

do you have a github repo

Great ❤

Very nice video bro😉. Which version of next are you using? have a problem with this error: async/await is not yet supported in Client Components, only Server Components. This error is often caused by accidentally adding `'use client'` to a module that was originally written for the server. I think it may be couse becouse you pass session as an prop in provider but you didn't use it. I check that I can't wrap server component by client side component. I will be very grateful for your answer

Great Video! The only question I have is Why do you need the session callback if the jwt strategy is used? Because isn't the jwt sent to the client itself as a cookie to manage state?

I am doing the nextAuth, but when I refresh the page, the session is lost. Can you show me how to fix it?

with the logic you created for updating the user session, is it safe? next auth docs state that the value should be validated, but im not entirely sure how to do that. i heard a user can change any session value if not

I'm a bit confused about the order in which I should watch the authentication tutorials. Could you please provide an index of all the tutorials?

Thank you

Can you share the source code?

Amazing! video. Is there no way to logout user on the server side? I've read the documentation and made a lot of research still no where to find that solution, please any solution or work around? I will really appreciate.

I have a dilema. Authentication is not really my strongest point, and I fail to see how can I solve the problem I have. I have an external API which gets called from the app, mostly for storing files and some other things... How can I use the token provided by the Next Auth to authenticate on that API. And how can I invalidate a token, if let's say the token gets stolen. I'm trying to understand how refresh tokens works, but I'm not really understanding anything. And yes, I need to use the username / password, not a third party service, since this is for a small company, where only thier employees needs acces to it. I used firebase until now, but I'm rewrinting it and they want to drop any external service dependecy.

Hey Brett very useful video!💯 Also can you make video including accessToken and refreshToken for authorization

How do I implement real-time user roles with credentials provider? I have set up my db's UserModel to accept a role Enum consisting of "user","mod" and "banned" but the issue is once the jwt token gets sent to the user even if I change the user's role server-side, they still hold on to their old role via the token. The only way that I've found out to work is to fetch the user from db every time they access the protected page but that's neither scalable nor practical in any way. Real-time role management is important in a lot of website types (forums, online games etc) and I have no idea how to do it (and auth js's documentation is not helping at all).

What extension advices you the code?:)

@brettwestwooddeveloper, Thank you for providing a amazing tutorials, I am very grateful to you if you make another tutorial like how to reset and forgot password by email sending,Thanks again

source code, sir?

why my session to be null when page refresh ?

dude, good video about callback, but at the very beginning I thought you are going to teach us aerobic dancing...

source code please ❤❤❤

The timing is just too perfect.

i want to do this ( form with just phone number for login i send req to my api and api res a token and store it in session
