Next Auth - JWT & Session Callback & How to Update User Session

In this video, I go over how to use the asynchronous callbacks of the JWT function and session function. This will allow you to use the JSON Web Token for your session data.

Also, I go over the update method provided by the useSession Hook. This allows you to update the session object.

Thank you for being (seemingly) the only person anywhere to explain the callbacks in NextAuth. This was a huge help!

This is my second tutorial from Brett, this was amazing thanks so much. You make wath seems very complicated and you simplify it for us. Thanks again

[ergo]

Finally I found a way to do this, I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Thanks, awesome video.

[remarkablejames]

man you're doing great job. Nextjs has no many tutorials out there that highlight things as you do. Highly appreciated!

Thank you so very much !! Your "The Ultimate Guide to Next Auth" video and this one are SUPER for beginners and probably the most thorough content on Youtube on Next-Auth. May be, if you have time and energy, sometime in future, a nice relaxed discussion, or a nifty little series on JWT + cookies + session + authentication + authorization + database session etc especially in light of NextJS + NextAuth would be fantastic. I guess this is how we beginners are !! Greedy !! :-). Once more, MAGNIFICENT, FABULOUS. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH !!!

Honestly, this is the best video ever on this topic. I've been struggling with NextAuth – "in my opinion, the documentation is either bad or I'm just dumb" – but it was explained so well! Subscribed.
