Question

Good afternoon I m using React with Node Using routes within react I m using the docs on the link below to set up a check so that on the base root of the website you see a different page depending on whether you re logged in or not Problem is that I don t want to wrap all my routes in `<EmailPasswordAuth requireAuth= false >` but if I don t use this tag on App where the routes are then `useSessionContext ` always reports false Where am I going wrong https supertokens com docs emailpassword common customizations sessions checking session front end

Hi there again < rp>

So in order to use the session context function you need to wrap your component with the auth wrapper

rp · Answer

If you don t want to do that any other way to know if a user is logged in is to use await Session doesSessionExist
