Using AuthJS, how to get current user in route.ts in NextJS.

export const getSession = query({
  args: {},
  handler: async (ctx) => {
    const sessionId = await getAuthSessionId(ctx);
    if (sessionId === null) {
      throw new ConvexError("Client is not authenticated!");
    }
    const session = await ctx.db.get(sessionId);

    return session;
  },
});


export async function POST(req: Request) {
  try {
    const authSession = await fetchQuery(api.auth.getSession);

    console.log("AUTH_INFO", { authSession });

    return new Response("", { status: 200 });
  }
}

export const getSession = query({
  args: {},
  handler: async (ctx) => {
    const sessionId = await getAuthSessionId(ctx);
    if (sessionId === null) {
      throw new ConvexError("Client is not authenticated!");
    }
    const session = await ctx.db.get(sessionId);

    return session;
  },
});


export async function POST(req: Request) {
  try {
    const authSession = await fetchQuery(api.auth.getSession);

    console.log("AUTH_INFO", { authSession });

    return new Response("", { status: 200 });
  }
}

Every time, the session is null even though I am logged in, how can I correctly fetch the user session?

The imports in the auth.ts file with the getSession function

You need to send the token in the fetchQuery https://docs.convex.dev/api/modules/nextjs#fetchquery like fetchQuery(api.foo.bar, {}, {token})

I wonder how we can make this more clear, did you copy this code from somewhere?

I was reading the https://labs.convex.dev/auth documentation, that's why I wasn't really finding anything. Thanks I managed to get it working.
