You can get information about the current session in JavaScript using the Ory SDK. Here is an example of how to do it:
Copy code
javascript import { Configuration, FrontendApi, Session } from "@ory/client"   import { useEffect, useState } from "react"      const frontend = new FrontendApi(    new Configuration({    basePath: "<http://localhost:4000>", // Use your local Ory Tunnel URL    baseOptions: {    withCredentials: true,    },    }),   )      export function checkSession() {    const [session, setSession] = useState<Session>(undefined)       useEffect(() => {    frontend    // the cookie is automatically sent with the request    .toSession()    .then(({ data: session }) => {    setSession(session)    })    .catch((error) => {    // The session could not be fetched    // This might occur if the current session has expired    })    }, [])       return session ? (    <table>    <tr>    <th>Session ID</th>    <th>Expires at</th>    <th>Authenticated at</th>    </tr>    <tr id={session.id}>    <td>{session.id}</td>    <td>{session.expires_at || ""}</td>    <td>{session.authenticated_at || ""}</td>    </tr>    </table>    ) : (    <div>Loading session data...</div>    )   }
This code creates a new instance of the FrontendApi from the Ory SDK, and uses it to send a request to the
/sessions/whoami
endpoint. The response from this endpoint contains the session data, which is then stored in a state variable. The session data includes the session ID, the time the session expires, and the time the session was authenticated. Please replace
"<http://localhost:4000>"
with your local Ory Tunnel URL. Source: [Ory Documentation](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/session-management/overview)
