Authenticating server-side with v5 docs

[telng]

What is the improvement or update you wish to see?

I'm attempting to implement an API route following the guidance here: https://authjs.dev/guides/upgrade-to-v5#authenticating-server-side under the API Route tab.

The code I have is a little expanded from the sample there:

import { auth } from "../../../auth"
import { NextApiRequest, NextApiResponse } from "next"
import { NextResponse } from 'next/server';


export async function GET(req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) {
	try {
		const session = await auth(req, res)
		if (session) {
			console.log(session.user)
			return NextResponse.json({status: "OK"})
		}
	} catch (error) {
		console.error(error)
	}
	console.log("No session")
	return NextResponse.json({status: "ERR"})
}

A couple of things:

• session.user isn't being populated by the auth() call. session is set if the user's logged in and not set if they're not, but I'm at a loss as to how to retrieve information about the currently logged in user. A sentence on how to achieve this would be appreciated.
• there's some weirdness around NextApiResponse - if I return res.json(..) or res.status(..) then I get an error: TypeError: res.status is not a function.

Is there any context that might help us understand?

Firstly, I'm not at all experienced at this, and I might have missed the obvious.

Everything's up-to-date (I think):

The same happens to me but I'm using app router api handler. Instead of await auth() I'm doing auth wrapper as suggested in docs.

We've released some new docs that explain this in detail - https://authjs.dev/getting-started/session-management. Hope that covers it for you 🙏
