ReferenceError: Headers is not defined

[AleksandrukTad]

Hey,
I am trying to use next-auth getToken function in my nestJS project. NextJs app is talking to NestJS api, it seems that using getToken in NestJS api is a good way for getting the token. When I try to decode the token I am getting "Headers is not defined issue", any idea how to fix that? If not what is the best way for NextJS (using next-auth) coummunication with api? Whats the best way to decode the tokens?

Hi, I had the same problem and I fixed it by adding import "next" at the top of the file where I used the getToken method as suggested here.

Does that mean that I need to npm install next in my API even though I'm not using next for my API?

I feel that there should be a better way to do this.

Got a solution that seems to be slightly better.

you can use the decode function directly instead of the getToken.

import { decode } from 'next-auth/jwt';
// ...
const jwtPayload = await decode({
  token: req.cookies['next-auth.session-token'],
  secret: process.env.NEXTAUTH_SECRET,
});
