Is there anyway to check if a user is logged in using NextJS's Middleware?

Hi @Ollie.

Hey!

You just need to check if the current user is logged in correct? Or do you want some other information as well

At the moment, check that the user is logged.

What auth recipe are you using?

Social and email + password

Also are you using the pre built UI or your own?

Prebuilt UI

https://supertokens.com/docs/thirdpartyemailpassword/common-customizations/sessions/protecting-frontend-routes#verifying-the-claims-of-a-session--cust Check this part of the docs

Im not sure you fully understand what im trying to do, Im trying to protect routes with NextJS Middleware

await SuperTokens.doesSessionExist()

This would return false if a session does not exist

And yeah, I guess something like this would work fine, but the Middleware runs before the request is completed which seems more secure and alot easier to implement for heaps of pages

Right so the snippet on that page has more code than just checking for session, but I meant to just use

SuperTokens.doesSessionExist()

in your middleware

What would be more secure? adding the code in my image to every page or checking for a session using middleware?

In essence they would have the same effect so in terms of security it shouldnt matter. Adding it to the middleware would make it easier to apply across all your pages if thats what you need If its for selected pages then I would recommended the code in the image you sent
