7. Making requests from Server Components

Lets modify the Home page we made in a previous step to make a call to this API

app/components/home.tsx

import styles from "../page.module.css";
import { redirect } from "next/navigation";
import { getSSRSession } from "../sessionUtils";
import { TryRefreshComponent } from "./tryRefreshClientComponent";
import { SessionAuthForNextJS } from "./sessionAuthForNextJS";

export async function HomePage() {
    const { session, hasToken, hasInvalidClaims } = await getSSRSession();

    if (!session) {
        if (!hasToken) {
            return redirect("/auth");
        }

        if (hasInvalidClaims) {
            return <SessionAuthForNextJS />;
        } else {
            return <TryRefreshComponent />;
        }
    }

    const userInfoResponse = await fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/user', {
      headers: {
        /**
         * We read the access token from the session and use that as a Bearer token when
         * making network requests.
         */
        Authorization: 'Bearer ' + session.getAccessToken(),
      },
    });

    let message = "";

    if (userInfoResponse.status === 200) {
        message = `Your user id is: ${session.getUserId()}`
    } else if (userInfoResponse.status === 500) {
        message = "Something went wrong"
    } else if (userInfoResponse.status === 401) {
        // The TryRefreshComponent will try to refresh the session
        return <TryRefreshComponent />
    } else if (userInfoResponse.status === 403) {
        // SessionAuthForNextJS will redirect based on which claim is invalid
        return <SessionAuthForNextJS />;
    }

    // You can use `userInfoResponse` to read the users session information

    return (
        <SessionAuthForNextJS>
            <div>
                {message}
            </div>
        </SessionAuthForNextJS>
    );
}

We use session returned by getSSRSession to get the access token of the user. We can then send the access token as a header to the API. When the API calls withSession it will try to read the access token from the headers and if a session exists it will return the information. You can use the session object to fetch other information such as session.getUserId().
