Set session.user to be equal to req.user

[deadcoder0904]

I have a ApolloServer that has user value in it's context field:

export interface GraphQLContext {
  user?: User
  prisma: typeof prisma
  origin: string
}

const apolloServer = new ApolloServer({
  schema,
  context: ({ req }): GraphQLContext => ({
    user: req.user,
    origin: getRequestOrigin(req),
    prisma,
  }),
  plugins: [ApolloServerPluginLandingPageGraphQLPlayground({})],
})

The user field is equal to req.user but currently it's undefined.

I want to tell next-auth to attach the user that we get from session.data.user to req.user so I can query from my http://localhost:3000/api route:

{
  currentUser {
    id
    name
    username
    email
  }
}

Currently, this returns null but I want it to return current user object.

Is there any way to do that?

I tried doing the following:

export default async (
  req: NextApiRequest & { user: User },
  res: NextApiResponse
) => {
  const session = await getSession({ req })
  req.user = session?.user as User

  return NextAuth(req, res, options)
}

But it doesn't work & gives me [next-auth][error][CLIENT_FETCH_ERROR] & ENFILE error. It keeps reloading the server forever.

I also tried doing it without async like:

export default (req: NextApiRequest, res: NextApiResponse) => {
	getSession({ req }).then((session) => {
		req.user = session?.user as User
	})
	return NextAuth(req, res, options)
}

But that didn't work either.

Reproduction on prisma branch → https://github.com/deadcoder0904/twitter-api-v2-3-legged-login-using-next-connect/tree/prisma

To make it work, remove the async & comment out the first 2 lines inside the function above.

Would love to know is there a way to make this work? I searched documentation but couldn't find anything.
