Which auth and which framework? Here's middleware working with convex auth in a next template: https://github.com/get-convex/v1/blob/76e705b8dc78c3da702cceba999f5c1b2a35b663/apps/app/src/middleware.ts
ah yes sorry, the question was a bit vague 😅
working with nextjs and convex auth and wondering if it's possible to get some data (from the db) of the current user, if there's a way to access it
You can always do this by adding your own query that loads the user based on auth and call it via
fetchQuery since you'll have the access token in your Next.js middleware.
We may one day build a function like this into Convex Auth + a nice syntax to fetch it, but writing your own query should hopefully get you the same behavior nowty that worked perfectly
Thanks it helped a lot @sshader
