nextauth has a express adapter

depends if u want to handle the auth to nextauth since its easier and extendable

as I understand it won't even require hitting separate backend to use this auth method?

yes it does

your backend runs separately on a express server

so what does next auth express adapter? helps in managing sessions?

yes

it keeps track of the session and revalidates it

and it provides u with info

your routes

ahh, okay i will take a look. because i asked AI, and it said i shouldnt use next auth since i just need simple api call on load to get session for client

for important things dont ask ai

its better to read the documentation and ask people who know it

yeah okay, i didnt know next auth had such adapter

thanks fori nfo
