Session fetched after middleware execution when SSR is disabled

[mitto98]

Ciao,

When ssr is disabled the user session data remains empty during the initial page load if the session is retrieved using the useUserSession composable in the middleware. If I add plugin that call the fetch function returned by the useUserSession composable the session, the session is correctly populated by the time the middleware runs.

This is the middleware/auth.global.ts file

export default defineNuxtRouteMiddleware(() => {
  const { loggedIn, user } = useUserSession();

  console.log("User is logged in", loggedIn.value);

  if (!loggedIn.value) {
    return navigateTo("/auth/keycloak", { external: true });
  }
});

This is the plugins/01.loadsession.ts file that fixed my issue:

export default defineNuxtPlugin(async (nuxtApp) => {
  // nuxtApp.hook("app:created", async () => {
  await useUserSession().fetch();
  // });
});

I've tried to hook the session fetch to app:created, but it is still executing it before the middleware is executed. If you have a better solution I can test it and do a PR, I'm not sure if my current solution will work in others scenarios.

Steps to Reproduce:

• Ensure that a session is present and ssr is disabled
• Add a Nuxt middleware that calls the useUserSession composable and log the returned session and loggedIn value.
• Reload the app, session is empty and loggedIn is false.
• Add a plugin that fetches the session immediatelly.
• Reload the app and, the session is now correctly populated and loggedIn is trye.
