How to use identifyUser with now/node API?

[itsdarrylnorris]

Problem

I am trying to figure out how I can use the identifyUser function on now/node API. I tried to call the function inside of simple API and I am getting some errors.

/api/user.ts

import { NowRequest, NowResponse } from '@now/node'
import { identifyUser } from '../lib/auth/withIdentity'

export default async function(req: NowRequest, res: NowResponse) {
  const user = await identifyUser({ req, res })

  if (req)
    res.status(200).json({
      status: 'ok',
      user: user,
    })
}

And I am getting this error:

/private/var/folders/lc/4j_lrdk555vg_m9nh5b7f8lm0000gn/T/zeit-fun-ebb0b78e25cb4/lib/auth/withIdentity.js:67
                <IdentityContext.Provider value={user}>
                ^

• I thought this is a Next.js example and it doesn't have perfect compatibility to @now/node
• The signature of the function is identifyUser(ctx: NextPageContext). Moreover, identifyUser() is for use of getInitialProps(). I'll comment on it later.
• This ↓ might be what you want, but I didn't validate it.

const [reqProxy] = composePassport.initializePassport(req, res);
reqProxy.user; // <-

I also recommend you to understand how Passport works first.

If you think the issue is out-scope from this project. We can close it.

Thanks, I could play around with this later today.

Hey @piglovesyou ,

I tried this in identifyUser() and does not seems to be working.

const [reqProxy] = composePassport.initializePassport(req, res);
reqProxy.user; // <-

I am going to close this task since is out the scope of this project. Also, I can keep track of my own session after the user login.
