Access NextRequest in middleware?

[sleeyax]

Is it possible to access the NextRequest object in middleware functions?

I'm looking for a way to integrate clerk with next-safe-action. With TRPC you can simply access the request object as follows:

import * as trpc from '@trpc/server'
import * as trpcNext from '@trpc/server/adapters/next'
import { getAuth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server'

export const createContext = async (opts: trpcNext.CreateNextContextOptions) => {
  return { auth: getAuth(opts.req) }
}

export type Context = trpc.inferAsyncReturnType<typeof createContext>

How would I do this with next-safe-action (without using cookies())?

Hi, currently no way to do it, unfortunately. That's not a limitation of this library, it's a limitation of React Server Actions, they don't expose the underlying POST request, you can only access headers() and cookies() via Next.js exported functions. You'd have to use route handlers if you want to access the request object.

Ah I see. That's too bad but I'll figure a way to work around it anyways. Thanks you for responding so quickly!
