JavaScript: getUser | Supabase Docs

JavaScript: getUser

Gets the current user details if there is an existing session. This method performs a network request to the Supabase Auth server, so the returned value is authentic and can be used to base authorization rules on.

Parameters

  • jwt

    (Optional)

    Takes in an optional access token JWT. If no JWT is provided, the JWT from the current session is used.

Examples

Get the logged in user with the current existing session

const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.getUser()

Get the logged in user with a custom access token jwt

const { data: { user } } = await supabase.auth.getUser(jwt)
