Have you followed https://docs.convex.dev/client/react/nextjs/server-rendering#server-side-authentication ?

Next.js automatically renders both Client and Server Components on the server

Hi @Michal Srb , I'm using this repo: https://github1s.com/xixixao/convex-auth/tree/convex-auth-lib to implement auth. I use fetchQuery to get user data from a server component always return null. The link you've provided above required an access token to validate, but how to get that from this repo or to create a new one. Thanks

@hugo the token has to come from you auth provider. When you are using useQuery convex automatically grabs it from the client, so you don't have to manually pass your token. With fetchQuery you have to manually pass the token prop. You can get this from your auth provider, in my case that's Clerk:

import { auth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server'

export async function getAuthToken() {
  return (await auth().getToken({ template: 'convex' })) ?? undefined
}

import { auth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server'

export async function getAuthToken() {
  return (await auth().getToken({ template: 'convex' })) ?? undefined
}

I re-use that function any time I need to fetch. You could also create a function that wraps fetchQuery for fetchAuthQuery that injects the token

Hey @hugo, that code is old. The library I'm working on is still WIP. To your question, the library will have a separate Next.js integration.
