Get User Info

You can fetch user information on the backend as well as on the frontend.

Fetching on the backend

Using getUserByEmail

NodeJS

You can get a user's information on the backend using the getUserByEmail, getUserByPhoneNumber and getUserById functions:

import Passwordless from "supertokens-node/recipe/passwordless";
async function handler() {    const userInfo = await Passwordless.getUserByEmail({email: "test@example.com"});}

GoLang

You can get a user's information on the backend using the GetUserByEmail, GetUserByPhoneNumber and GetUserById functions:

import (    "fmt"
    "github.com/supertokens/supertokens-golang/recipe/passwordless")
func main() {
    userInfo, err := passwordless.GetUserByEmail("test@example.com")    if err != nil {        // TODO: Handle error        return    }    fmt.Println(userInfo)    //...}

Python

Asyncio

from supertokens_python.recipe.passwordless.asyncio import get_user_by_email
async def some_func():    _ = await get_user_by_email("test@example.com")

Syncio

from supertokens_python.recipe.passwordless.syncio import get_user_by_email
user_info = get_user_by_email("test@example.com")

Using getUserByPhoneNumber

NodeJS

import Passwordless from "supertokens-node/recipe/passwordless";
async function handler() {    const userInfo = await Passwordless.getUserByPhoneNumber({phoneNumber: "+1234567891"});}

GoLang

import (    "fmt"
    "github.com/supertokens/supertokens-golang/recipe/passwordless")
func main() {
    userInfo, err := passwordless.GetUserByPhoneNumber("+1234567890")    if err != nil {        // TODO: Handle error        return    }    fmt.Println(userInfo)    //...}

Python

Asyncio

from supertokens_python.recipe.passwordless.asyncio import get_user_by_phone_number
async def some_func():    _ = await get_user_by_phone_number("+1234567890")

Syncio

from supertokens_python.recipe.passwordless.syncio import get_user_by_phone_number
user_info = get_user_by_phone_number("+1234567890")

Fetching on the frontend

important

The function calls below require no API calls and read directly from the session information stored on the frontend. This makes them very quick.

ReactJS

import Session from 'supertokens-web-js/recipe/session';
async function handle() {    if (await Session.doesSessionExist()) {        let userId = await Session.getUserId();        let accessTokenPayload = await Session.getAccessTokenPayloadSecurely();    }}

Angular

With React Context

import React from "react";import { useSessionContext } from 'supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session'; 
// Your dashboard componentfunction Dashboard(props: any) {    let session = useSessionContext();
    if (session.loading) {        return null;    }
    if (!session.doesSessionExist) {        // TODO    } else {        let {userId, accessTokenPayload} = session;
        let name = accessTokenPayload.name;    }}

Without React Context

import Session from 'supertokens-auth-react/recipe/session';
async function handle() {    if (await Session.doesSessionExist()) {        let userId = await Session.getUserId();        let accessTokenPayload = await Session.getAccessTokenPayloadSecurely();    }}

Vue

Via NPM

import Session from 'supertokens-web-js/recipe/session';
async function handle() {    if (await Session.doesSessionExist()) {        let userId = await Session.getUserId();        let accessTokenPayload = await Session.getAccessTokenPayloadSecurely();    }}

Via Script Tag

async function handle() {    if (await supertokensSession.doesSessionExist()) {        let userId = await supertokensSession.getUserId();        let accessTokenPayload = await supertokensSession.getAccessTokenPayloadSecurely();    }}

Plain JavaScript

import SuperTokens from 'supertokens-react-native';
async function handle() {    if (await SuperTokens.doesSessionExist()) {        let userId = await SuperTokens.getUserId();        let accessTokenPayload = await SuperTokens.getAccessTokenPayloadSecurely();    }}

React Native

import Session from 'supertokens-web-js/recipe/session';
async function handle() {    if (await Session.doesSessionExist()) {        let userId = await Session.getUserId();        let accessTokenPayload = await Session.getAccessTokenPayloadSecurely();    }}
