At this time, the knowledge sources do not provide information about official helper functions for the consent flow in the @ory/elements-react package or the Next.js example. The documentation and examples for Ory Elements and Next.js focus on login and registration flows, and while there is an ongoing effort to improve and expand these examples (as referenced in the PR you mentioned), there is no explicit mention of consent flow helpers or their release timeline in the available sources. The official answer in a recent Ory discussion confirms that the Next.js App Router example is still being worked on and is close to an official release, but does not mention consent flow support specifically or provide a workaround for it yet. The focus remains on login and registration flows for now, and there is no documentation or code example for consent flows in the current Ory Elements or Next.js integration guides [Where to find guide for integrating kratos with next js 14 and later](
https://github.com/ory/kratos/discussions/4227) [Login and registration pages](
https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/bring-your-own-ui/custom-ui-ory-elements/#login-and-registration-pages). If you need to implement the consent flow now, you may need to interact directly with the Ory Hydra APIs using the lower-level SDKs (such as @ory/client) and build your own UI and logic, similar to how login and registration flows are handled in the custom UI examples. Unfortunately, the knowledge sources do not provide a ready-made workaround or helper for this use case. If you want to stay updated, it may be helpful to watch the referenced PR and the Ory Elements repository for future updates.
