Hello, I'm attempting to identify the authentication method being used by the user session. For instance, if they've logged in via Google, I aim to distinguish that. While exploring the NextAuth documentation and experimenting with callbacks, I encountered difficulty in retrieving the provider type as one of the account options.


const { data: session, status } = useSession();
If I where to console log session it will just return me the user > email, image, name.


My original thought of getting was from
const handleGoogleSignIn = () => {
    signIn('google');
    
    const providerData = session.user;
    
    setProvider({
      google: providerData
    })
  };


But since the signIn button reloads you're page you I kind of can't do it that way 🫨 .

Help a brotha out...
it's been too long to describe how long I been on this issue.

So ya boy found out if any of yall by chance having the same issue that I was having cause you weren't reading the docs here the answer.

import { getToken } from "next-auth/jwt"

const secret = process.env.NEXTAUTH_SECRET

export default async function handler(req, res) {
  // if using `NEXTAUTH_SECRET` env variable, we detect it, and you won't actually need to `secret`
  // const token = await getToken({ req })
  const token = await getToken({ req, secret })
  console.log("JSON Web Token", token)
  res.end()
}


callbacks: {
  async jwt({ token, account, profile }) {
    // Persist the OAuth access_token and or the user id to the token right after signin
    if (account) {
      token.provider = account.provider
      
    }
    return token
  }
}
