ReactJS NextJS - Persisting session information with client-side routing

Question

I am using NextJS with ExpressJS custom server. ExpressJS set up session cookies for my NextJS app. I can get session information in getInitialProps which works well when I am using server-side routing (like normal page load) but when using client-side routing with next/link Link I cannot get session information. Please suggest how I can get session information stored in cookies when using client-side routing and cookies cannot be accessed on client-side.

Answer 1

You should use ReactJS context which can allow you to pass props from _app page to all components which need session information.
