Both are acceptable return values. The NextResponse object has some helper methods on it. We should definitely have examples linked from the Middleware docs to here: https://github.com/vercel/examples |

Turns out Middleware is already kind of supported by import { getToken } from "next-auth/jwt"
import { NextResponse } from "next/server"
export async function middleware(req) {
// return early if url isn't supposed to be protected
if (!req.url.includes("/protected-url")) {
return NextResponse.next()
}
const session = await getToken({ req, secret: process.env.SECRET })
// You could also check for any property on the session object,
// like rolec === "admin" or name === "John Doe", etc.
if (!session) return NextResponse.redirect("/api/auth/signin")
// If user is authenticated, continue.
return NextResponse.next()
}What I would like is if we had a nicer API for this, and we also got the Database Session working. Again, I am not sure of the bottleneck effect there, since we have to do multiple database queries. |

I changed the order of
NextRequestandNextFetchEventas they are presented in the function signature.There also seemed to be some issues with the heading levels.
Also,
NextResponseis a documented API, but the example code usesResponse. I wasn't sure if this was a mistake in the docs or in the code.I noticed that other similar docs pages have a collapsible
Examplessection at their top:Image below:

Should the Middleware docs have the same?
