Currently, my setup involves utilizing auth0 and nextJS.
My objective is to have the user redirected to the callback API after successfully logging in with their credentials.
Here is the snippet of code I am working with:
import auth0 from '../../utils/auth0';
export default async function callback(req, res) {
try {
await auth0.handleCallback(req, res, {
redirectTo: '/'
});
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
res.status(error.status || 400).end(error.message);
}
}
I aim to redirect users based on the decoded token information. By decoding the token, I can determine if the user is either a regular user or an admin.
If the user is an admin, they should be directed to the admin page; otherwise, they should be directed to the user page.
To implement this functionality, I made some modifications:
import auth0 from '../../utils/auth0';
export default async function callback(req, res) {
const tokenCache = auth0.tokenCache(req, res);
const { accessToken } = await tokenCache.getAccessToken();
console.log(accessToken)
try {
await auth0.handleCallback(req, res, { redirectTo: '/' });
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
res.status(error.status || 400).end(error.message);
}
}
My goal is to obtain the token within this function to enable user redirection to different pages. However, when attempting to retrieve the token within the function, I encounter the following issue:
The user does not have a valid session.
If I remove the token-related code, the user is redirected successfully. Nevertheless, it is essential for me to access the token within this callback function to perform user checks as described above.
How can I retrieve the token inside the callback function while achieving the desired behavior?
