Hello Everyone, I am working with external backend api in nextjs. Here is how.
After login, I store token in
After login, I store token in
http only cookie. Then include token in auth header in subsequent requests. Then for specific user profile component, I get the current authed user which is calling external backend api. When that api is failed with 401, I want to delete the token stored inside cookie. Since I am getting the auth userState in server component, I can't delete the cookie. Should I switch into client side stuff to delete cookie after checking auth user failed.export function Header() {
return <header>
<h1>NextBlog</h1>
<Suspense fallback={<Skeleton className="size-8 rounded-full" />}>
<ProfileNav />
</Suspense>
</header>
}export async function ProfileNav() {
const user = await getCurrentUser();
return <ProfileNavClient user={user} />;
}export const getCurrentUser = cache(async () => {
try {
return await getMe(); // calling external backend api
} catch (e) {
if (e instanceof HTTPError && e.response.status === 401) {
console.log("delete cookie");
}
return null;
}
});
