Access session data in Next.js page using withIronSession() - reactjs

Question

After reading the following post, https://dev.to/chrsgrrtt/easy-user-authentication-with-next-js-18oe and consulting the following question Using next-iron-session's "withIronSession" with Next.JS to perform simple authentication, I am still unable to access the session using req.session.get('user'). Below is my implementation in a Next.js project:
Create a util
import {withIronSession} from 'next-iron-session';
const cookie = {
cookieName: process.env.COOKIE_NAME,
password: process.env.COOKIE_SECRET,
cookieOptions: {secure: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'},
};
export const guard = (handler) => {
return withIronSession(handler, cookie);
};
export default cookie;
Create an API endpoint
const zlib = require('zlib');
import cookie from '#/utils/cookie';
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
import {withIronSession} from 'next-iron-session';
export default withIronSession(
async (req, res) => {
if (req.method === 'POST') {
try {
const request = await fetch(
process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL + '/api/login',
{
method: 'post',
body: req.body,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Origin': req.headers.host || req.headers.origin,
},
}
);
const response = await request.text();
const {success, data, message} = JSON.parse(response);
// set JWT in session
compressor(data, (x) => req.session.set('user', x));
// persist session value
await req.session.save();
// console.log(req.session.get('user'));
return res.status(201).json({success, message});
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
}
}
return res.status(404).json('Not found');
},
cookie
);
Access session data in a page
export const getServerSideProps = guard(async (ctx) => {
const {req} = ctx;
const session = req.session.get();
console.log({session});
return {redirect: {destination: '/sign-in', permanent: false}};
});
The above terminal log gives an empty object. Is there something am doing wrong??

Answer 1

Try the following:
export const getServerSideProps = guard(async function ({
req,
res,
query,
}) {
//Assuming you have "user" session object
const user = req.session.get("user");
...
});
