Nitro middleware for accessing logged user information
First I am not sure how to send the JWT to the nitro api, secondly I am not sure how to actually create the client, is it good practice to create it in a middleware? wouldn't that slow everything down?
TypeScript
export default defineEventHandler((event) => {
event.context.appwrite = new sdk.Client()
.setEndpoint('https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1') // Your API Endpoint
.setProject('5df5acd0d48c2') // Your project ID
.setJWT(jwt); // Your secret JSON Web
event.context.account = new sdk.Account(event.context.appwrite);
})
TL;DR
The user is looking for guidance on using Nitro middleware to access logged user information. The best practice is to have a provider that holds all Appwrite services. To get a JWT (JSON Web Token) with Nitro, use the Appwrite client-side JavaScript SDK. Here's how to get the JWT on the server-side: [link]. If not using the client-side SDK, the JWT needs to be sent from the client to the backend on each request.

As for nitro, the only way to get JWT is with Appwrite client side js SDK. https://appwrite.io/docs/client/account?sdk=web-default#accountCreateJWT

Otherwise you'll need to send the JWT from the client side to backend one each request.
