Internal API fetch with getServerSideProps - getSession() in SSR

[younes-alouani]

Description 📓

According to the Next Auth documentation.
For a page using SSR, I need to use getSession() to get the session.
This causes your internal API (/api/auth/session) to be called. Why are we making a request from the server to the server itself, isn't this unnecessary?
This is an unnecessary, inefficient and expensive approach, as it will result in an additional request due to the execution of getServerSideProps and API Routes on the server.
I propose that we create an additional function suitable for SSR mode only.

How to reproduce ☕️

export default function Page({ prop1, prop2, prop3 }) {
        // render etc.
}

export async function getServerSideProps(context) {
const session = await getSession(context)
// etc.

No, I am afraid I cannot help regarding this

This is known, thanks. #4116 The API is not final (we might iterate on it, hence the unstable_ name), but the idea is the same. 👍

Thank you for the response ☺️

The API docs are out of date here, as they still suggest the unstable_getServerSession function name.
