How to update a session in V5?

[maxpaleo]

How on earth do we update a session in V5?

The new docs don't mention anything related to updating sessions, the only reference is the UpdateSession() from auth/react.

auth/react exports the useSession hook, which contains the update function, which in previous versions caused the update trigger to be available in the jwt callbacks, however, nothing is sent in V5.

Is the update function in useSession still accurate?

Tbh, its unbelievable how frustrating it is to work with auth.js. I mean, every single thing requires hours of research only to find out the issue is either related to bugs or inaccurate documentation.

I get it, V5 is in beta, but isn't updating the session one of the core elements of authentication?

I can't guarantee this solution will work, but I found this in my search as well. I haven't had a chance to test it yet, since I moved to clerk. Try this, and let me know if it works :)
