Retrieve a user
Gets the current user details if there is an existing session.
- This method fetches the user object from the database instead of local session.
- This method is useful for checking if the user is authorized because it validates the user's access token JWT on the server.
- Should be used only when you require the most current user data. For faster results,
getSession().session.user
is recommended.
Parameters
- jwtOptionalstring
Takes in an optional access token jwt. If no jwt is provided, getUser() will attempt to get the jwt from the current session.
const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.getUser()
