Fetch up-to-date session

What is the best way to fetch an up-to-date session on the client? I need to check if the user is still on the waitlist when they get to a certain page, and I'd rather do this with up to date info. I can always just create an api route to do this, but it's in the user object and would be nice to just refetch the user.

Solution:

you can do this ```ts await authClient.getSession({ //pull fresh user info from the database query: {...

import { authClient } from "@/lib/client"
const { data: session } = await authClient.getSession()

import { authClient } from "@/lib/client"
const { data: session } = await authClient.getSession()

my understanding is that getSession just pulls it from cache, is this incorrect?

you can do this

await authClient.getSession({ //pull fresh user info from the database
            query: {
              disableCookieCache: true,
            },
          })

await authClient.getSession({ //pull fresh user info from the database
            query: {
              disableCookieCache: true,
            },
          })
