// Protect a route
import { auth } from '@clerk/nextjs/server';
export default async function Dashboard() {

}import { initAuth0 } from '@auth0/nextjs-auth0';
export const auth0 = initAuth0({
domain: process.env.AUTH0_DOMAIN,
clientId: process.env.AUTH0_CLIENT_ID,
clientSecret: process.env.AUTH0_CLIENT_SECRET,
secret: process.env.AUTH0_SECRET,
baseURL: process.env.AUTH0_BASE_URL,
