next-auth-cookie-fix

A library to monkey-patch NextAuth to use Session cookies via Next.js middleware.

This allows to force the session-token cookies to only have Session level expiry. This is needed because it's not provided by NextAuth by default: nextauthjs/next-auth#4693

How to use:

1. add the library npm install next-auth-cookie-fix
2. add the following middleware to your app:

    import { setAuthCookieExpiryToSession } from 'next-auth-cookie-fix';
   
    export const middleware = setAuthCookieExpiryToSession;
   
    // this needs to only match the document queries
    export const config = { matcher: ['/'] };
