01/05/2024, 10:57 AMSession that is imported from supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session or use the hook useSessionContext() to get .loading and .doesSessionexist props. Our app will require authentication based on roles, as we plan to have multiple groups of routes with different authorization. For this I see one can use .validateClaims on Session. Basically, is there any functional difference between using the import and the hook? Which one is better? If we make API calls to a second backend that requires accessToken for verification, should we use .getAccessToken() on Session or extract it from the hook?
The above all relies on clientside, but say we want to move role based auth check in a server component, how would that work? I see there's a helper function to get session on server in the docs. Am I right in thinking that if I retrieve this session on the server, I can perform the same role+permission checks in a server component as above?
Would appreciate guidance on this. Thank you!
