nextauthjs-server-side-props-wrapper

I wrote this POC to protect authenticated SSR pages with NextAuth.js at render time.

I wanted to enjoy the benefits of InferGetServerSidePropsType as well, especially since I'm using this in an enviornmnent where prisma could return some gnarly objects to traverse.

This little snippet shows how I went about composing my components in a reusable way that would play nicely with prop type inference.

When you wrap your getServerSideProps function with withAuthSsr, you'll be able to access the session object inside of the req context of your SSR function, like so:

export const getServerSideProps = withAuthSsr(
  async ({ req }) => {
    
    const dataForUser = await lookupByUserId(req.session.user.id)

    return {
      props: {
        dataForUser,
        ...(req.session && { session: req.session })
      }
    }
  }
)

You can pass an optional second parameter in the form of a URL to automatically redirect unauthenticated users, for example:

export const getServerSideProps = withAuthSsr(
  async ({ req }) => { return { props: { /* props */ }}  },
  '/auth/login'
)

I'm still learning so please feel free to submit any corrections or improvements.

I hope this can help you in a project of your own!

This was inspired by similar implementations from iron-session and next-firebase-auth.
