javascript reactjs authentication next.js next-auth

Please help me fix this error: When I run the application in Next.js I am getting this message:

Error: React Context is unavailable in Server Components

import { useSession } from "next-auth/react";
import prisma from "@/lib/prisma";
import { ChatbotClient } from "./components/chatbot-client";
import { redirect } from "next/navigation";

interface ChatbotIdPageProps {
  params: {
    chatbotId: string;
  };
}

const ChatbotIdPage = async ({ params }: ChatbotIdPageProps) => {
  const { data: session } = useSession();

  if (!session?.user) {
    redirect("/demo");
  }

  const userId = JSON.stringify(session.user);

  const chatbot = await prisma.chatbot.findUnique({
    where: {
      id: params.chatbotId,
      userId: userId,
    },
  });

  return <ChatbotClient initialData={chatbot} />;
};

export default ChatbotIdPage;

In my case, I had to

Create a Separate Client Component for SessionProvider.

Create a new file, for example, providers.tsx, and define a client component that wraps its children with SessionProvider. This component should be marked with 'use client'.

  // providers.tsx
  "use client";
  import { SessionProvider } from "next-auth/react";

  export function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
    return <SessionProvider>{children}</SessionProvider>;
  }

Then, in your layout.tsx, import and use this Providers component to wrap your application or the part of your application that needs access to the session.

  // layout.tsx
  import { Providers } from "./providers";

  export default function RootLayout({
   children,
  }: {
   children: React.ReactNode;
  }) {
   return (
      <html lang="en">
        <body>
          <Providers>{children}</Providers>
        </body>
      </html>
   );
  }

Instead of useSession which works only in Client Components (with "use client" at the top), use getServerSession since you are in a Server Component:

import { getServerSession } from "next-auth/next";
import { authOptions } from "app/api/auth/[...nextauth]"; // ⚠️ Make sure this is the correct path
import { useSession } from "next-auth/react";
import prisma from "@/lib/prisma";
import { ChatbotClient } from "./components/chatbot-client";
import { redirect } from "next/navigation";

interface ChatbotIdPageProps {
  params: {
    chatbotId: string;
  };
}

const ChatbotIdPage = async ({ params }: ChatbotIdPageProps) => {
  const session = await getServerSession(authOptions);

  if (!session?.user) {
    redirect("/demo");
  }

  const userId = JSON.stringify(session.user);

  const chatbot = await prisma.chatbot.findUnique({
    where: {
      id: params.chatbotId,
      userId: userId,
    },
  });

  return <ChatbotClient initialData={chatbot} />;
};

export default ChatbotIdPage;

Side note, if you try to add "use client" and stick with useSession, the component function cannot be async, and there you can fetch data only in a useEffect.

in my case reaon was different,i had typo "use Client"; with capital C in Client, changed to "use client"; and worked – Marathi 2/12, 2023 at 12:43

In Next 13, anything that uses React.Context (even your libraries) will need to be a Client component. You can achieve this by having "use client" at the top of your page.

"use client" 
import { useSession } from "next-auth/react";
import prisma from "@/lib/prisma";
import { ChatbotClient } from "./components/chatbot-client";
import { redirect } from "next/navigation";

interface ChatbotIdPageProps {
  params: {
    chatbotId: string;
  };
}

const ChatbotIdPage = async ({ params }: ChatbotIdPageProps) => {
  const { data: session } = useSession();

  if (!session?.user) {
    redirect("/demo");
  }

  const userId = JSON.stringify(session.user);

  const chatbot = await prisma.chatbot.findUnique({
    where: {
      id: params.chatbotId,
      userId: userId,
    },
  });

  return <ChatbotClient initialData={chatbot} />;
};

export default ChatbotIdPage;

this leads to this error "Prevent client components from being async functions. See: nextjs.org/docs/messages/no-async-client-component" – Melicent 11/8, 2023 at 10:43
