How do I pass Google idToken to the client?

Question 💬

I am using an external express.js backend that I need to pass in idToken to get another jwt token from the backend.

However, I've found that there is no way I can get idToken...

Is there any way to accomplish this?

How to reproduce ☕️

callbacks: {
    async signIn({ account }) {
      try {
        console.log(account.id_token) // How do I send it to the client-side?

        return true;
      } catch (e: any) {
        console.log(e?.response?.data || e);
        return false;
      }
    },
  }

Thank you for the response. I've made it, but I feel the doc is little bit confusing.

It would make more sense if jwt creation is mentioned in client API doc where useSession is called.

When I first read it, I did not expect jwt callback to get called since I had no jwt configuration at all.

Thanks for the feedback! JWT is the default way of persisting session. You could also use an adapter for database persistence.
