I'm currently following the guide from https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/authentication and im trying to implement sessions, my src/app/lib/session/session.ts contains 
import 'server-only'
import { SignJWT, jwtVerify } from 'jose'
import { SessionPayload } from '@/app/lib/definitions'
import { cookies } from 'next/headers'

export async function createSession(userId: string, username: string) {
    /* logic ... */
}


And I imported it in my action file via 
"use server"

import { createSession } from '@/app/lib/session/session'

export async function register(state: FormState, formData: FormData) {
    /* logic ... */
    await createSession(createdUser.id, createdUser.username);

    redirect('/profile')
}


Why is this throwing 
Error: (0 , _app_lib_session_session__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_4__.createSession) is not a function

Okay, I figured it out, the session.js file wasnt necessary and was overriding my import :c

Do you have a path alias set up for @?

I mean in the same file I imported '@/app/lib/definitions'; correctly so I hope so?

'use client'
import { register } from '@/app/actions/auth'

export function SignupForm() {
  const [state, action] = useFormState(register, undefined)
 
  return (
    <form action={action} className="mt-5">

This appears to be calling server side code on the client?
You likely want a route handler: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/routing/route-handlers
