How to get users session in the context when using Nextjs 13?

[bitabs]

I'm using Nextjs ^13.4 with GraphQL Yoga & Apollo/client and Prisma.

I'm trying to get the current user's session in GraphQL Pothos, by forwarding the response of getServerSession() but it is always null.

If I call getServerSession() within an RSC, then I can see the session details.

import { createYoga, schema } from '@nali/backend'
import { createContext } from './context'

const { handleRequest } = createYoga({
  schema,

  // While using Next.js file convention for routing, we need to configure Yoga to use the correct endpoint
  graphqlEndpoint: '/api/graphql',

  healthCheckEndpoint: '/healthz',

  context: async ({ request }) => {
    console.log('====================================================')
    console.log(request.headers) // null
    return createContext(request)
  },

  // Yoga needs to know how to create a valid Next response
  fetchAPI: { Request, Response }
})

export { handleRequest as GET, handleRequest as POST }

import { authOptions } from '../auth/[...nextauth]/options'
import { NextRequest } from 'next/server'
import { getServerSession } from 'next-auth'

export async function createContext(req: any) {
  const session = await getServerSession(authOptions)

  console.log('====== createContext(): =======: ', session) // always null
  // if the user is not logged in, return an empty object
  if (!session || typeof session === 'undefined') return {}

  const { user, expires } = session

  return { user, expires }
}

Not sure where Im going wrong.

since next-auth uses cookies to store the session id. when calling in a server component you have to manually include the headers. you can implement this by using the following code snippet

cookie: (await import("next/headers")).cookies().toString(),

this can be included in you networkFetch if you use relay
or use set the header in apollo like so: example from docs
