why isAuthenticated method was abandoned?

[mogadanez]

I'M migrating from remix to react-router v7
and surprised that isAuthenticated was removed....
why?

Because Remix Auth doesn't access your session storage anymore, so there's no way to know if a user is authenticated or not.

You can easily add it yourself.

async function isAuthenticated(request: Request) {
  let session = await sessionStorage.getSession(request.headers.get("cookie"))
  if (session.has("userId")) return session.get("userId")
  return null
}
