Thanks Mateusz! I got it, but my boss wants me to call auto logout inside nextauth.js.
`
events: {
session: async ({ session }) => {
// if RefreshAccessTokenError then logout
if (session?.error === 'RefreshAccessTokenError') {
signOut()
}

  // if refreshTokenExpiresIn then signOut
  if (
    session?.refreshTokenExpiresIn &&
    Date.now() > new Date(session.refreshTokenExpiresIn).getTime()
  ) {
    console.log('I am logging out')
    signOut()
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

}
`

I kanda figure one way out which is using session event like below. He don't want to call hooks on pages. However with event I am getting a error message also like error - unhandledRejection: ReferenceError: window is not defined .That's why it's a bit complicated in my case!

You are getting "window is not defined" because you are trying to call a signOut function (which requires a browser window) in a session callback inside [...nextauth].js.

[...nextauth].js lives in pages/api/auth, and pages/api in Next.js are the server functions. You can look up the documentation on signOut.

If you want to logout a user from the session callback, you should probably use POST /api/auth/signout. Call it as you would a regular endpoint. This is used by signOut() internally.

I'm not sure if it's gonna work, but it's worth exploring. Let me know how you did :)
