5a. Session verification in an API call
note
This is applicable for when the frontend calls an API in the /pages/api folder.
For this guide, we will assume that we want an API /api/user GET which returns the current session information.
1) Create a new file /pages/api/user.js#
- An example of this is here.
2) Call the supertokens.init function#
Remember that whenever we want to use any functions from the supertokens-node lib, we have to call the supertokens.init function at the top of that serverless function file.
pages/api/user.ts
import supertokens from 'supertokens-node'import { backendConfig } from '../../../config/backendConfig'
supertokens.init(backendConfig())3) Call the verifySession session function#
