Describe the problem

// app.vue

<script setup>
const user = useSupabaseUser()
</script>

<template>
  <div class="container" style="padding: 50px 0 100px 0">
    <Account v-if="user" />
    <Auth v-else />
  </div>
</template>

Can not login with the magic link. The example always display <Auth> component

Describe the improvement

Add ssr: false to nuxt.config.ts solve the problem, but I still have no clue how to make it work with SSR mode.
Since Nuxt3 has ssr: true by default, I think the tutorial should mention details about how Supabase auth works with SSR (server-side-rendering) / CSR (client-side-rending) application

I don't know why the magic link doesn't work is SSR mode, but my guess is

• In ssr mode, when Supabase redirect to http://localhost:3000, the useSupabaseUser() was run on server-side and redirect to login page (and lost the token) instead of logging user in.

I agree wholeheartedly with this recommendation. It would be a quick and easy thing to do to update the documentation for this. I was building my first Nuxt app using the User Management App tutorial, and I had no clue why the magick link registration step wasn't working until I found this bug/discussion. Help us newbies out by updating the docs for this, please. :)
