From an API route, I am using...

const session = await getServerSession(req, res, authOptions);
session.foo = "bar";

However, those values are not available from other server-side pages...

// returns undefined
console.log(session.foo);

How to update the server session so that values are retained?

Shouldn't you update session within callbacks next-auth function?

Are you referring to the callbacks like async jwt(...) and async session(...)?

The data I want to persist across the server session is received as a query string on an api page. How to get that variable to the next-auth callbacks function?
