can't create context when using nextjs app dir

Im trying to use the latest version of nextjs and make use of the app directory. when trying to make a create context function like they show in the docs here: https://trpc.io/docs/server/context , it gives the following error when i try to create the handler on the frontend

Types of parameters 'opts' and 'opts' are incompatible.
    Property 'res' is missing in type 'FetchCreateContextFnOptions' but required in type 'CreateNextContextOptions'

I even try using createNextApiHandler which removes the error from here but causes issues when trying to create the trpc/server.ts file for the server components, particularly when trying to use the createCallerFactory function (see second screenshot)

Type '(opts: CreateNextContextOptions) => {}' is not assignable to type '() => MaybePromise<{}>'.
Target signature provides too few arguments. Expected 1 or more, but got 0.

any help would be apprieciated

Context | tRPC

Your context holds data that all of your tRPC procedures will have access to, and is a great place to put things like database connections or authentication information.

you should use FetchCreateContextFnOptions if you use an app/api/[trpc]/route.ts (and not a pages/api/[trpc].ts) e.g.

import { FetchCreateContextFnOptions } from '@trpc/server/adapters/fetch';
export function createContext({
  req,
  resHeaders,
}: FetchCreateContextFnOptions) {
  const user = { name: req.headers.get('username') ?? 'anonymous' };
  return { req, resHeaders, user };
}

import { FetchCreateContextFnOptions } from '@trpc/server/adapters/fetch';
export function createContext({
  req,
  resHeaders,
}: FetchCreateContextFnOptions) {
  const user = { name: req.headers.get('username') ?? 'anonymous' };
  return { req, resHeaders, user };
}

please make a PR to the docs where it'd make it clearer for you
