🔥 In this episode of the Becoming a Next.js Developer series, we’re mastering Session Management using NextAuth.js. Managing sessions is crucial for building secure and personalized user experiences in your Next.js apps—especially when dealing with protected routes, user data, and authentication flows.

📌 What you’ll learn in this video:
✅ How sessions work with NextAuth.js and Next.js
✅ Using useSession() to access session data on the client
✅ Securing pages with getSession() on the server
✅ Redirecting unauthenticated users to sign-in pages
✅ Displaying user data (name, email, profile image) in the UI
✅ Managing session-based rendering (loading, auth states, etc.)
✅ Setting session expiration, callbacks, and custom JWT logic

💡 Where Session Management Shines:
▶️ Dashboard – Show personalized content after login
▶️ Google Clone – Save recent searches per user
▶️ Blog Platform – Restrict posting/editing to authenticated users
▶️ Admin Panels – Role-based access using session info
