Does the nextjs-auth0 package work with the NextJS 13 experimental app directory? The documentation and examples for using nextjs-auth0 for NextJS 12.x using the \_app.ts file are very clear and straight forward and I have that working as expected. What’s the correct way to implement nextjs-auth0 in NextJS 13.x? I tried moving the wrapper element to a root layout.ts or template.ts file and even leaving it in \_app.ts, but trying to use the useUser() hook from within a page in the /app directory results in an error about useUser() not being a function. I can’t seem to find any code examples for how to use nextjs-auth0 with the app directory. Any help appreciated. ---

I would also like to know this ---

I am very much interested too. A element of my choice between Next and Nuxt was indeed the existence of the Auth0-Next integration. ---

Looks like Auth0 support for NextJS 13 is still pending the official stable release of Next’s `app` directory. See this thread on the repo - [NextJS 13: support for server-side components in nextjs-auth0 · Issue #889 · auth0/nextjs-auth0 · GitHub](https://github.com/auth0/nextjs-auth0/issues/889) ---

I think this will become quite important to auth0. The nextjs-auth0 package is a nice community effort, but I do not think they are a relevant blocker or decision maker. The nextjs app dir and server rendered components could possibly be treated simply like any server API. We would want auth0 to take a closer look and put out recommendations or examples on how to build against nextjs 13 app dir. ---

The app directory is now in stable release as of Nextjs 13.4.0. When can we expect the Auth0 package to support the app directory? ---

For those who still keep landing here, this feature will be added in v3 of the [Auth0 NextJS npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@auth0/nextjs-auth0). You can follow the v3 development progress in [this github issue](https://github.com/auth0/nextjs-auth0/issues/1235). They are aiming to release by the end of July. ---
