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.

jwt

Optional

string

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()
