1) What is auth() method supposed to return?
2) suppose it returns some sort of json data, how can i get them? do i use the session callback?

so if i send custom login request to some endpoint which returns the data if succeed, i can return them in authorize() function, but how do i pass them to the session, or are they automatically?

it will do it for you if you use their signIn function

so if i use signIn like this:

signIn('credentials', {
          identity,
          password,
        });

is it passed to the auth() afterwards right?

@Saltwater Crocodile so if i use signIn like this: tsx signIn('credentials', { identity, password, }); is it passed to the auth() afterwards right?
