Accessing User Data

Next.js SDK

'use client';

import { useSyAuth } from '@syauth/nextjs';

export function UserProfile() {
  const { user, isAuthenticated } = useSyAuth();

  if (!isAuthenticated) {
    return <p>Please log in</p>;
  }

  return (
    <div>
      <p><strong>Email:</strong> {user?.email}</p>
      <p><strong>Name:</strong> {user?.first_name} {user?.last_name}</p>
    </div>
  );
}

Django

In Django views, the authenticated user is available via request.user when using the SyAuth authentication backend:

from django.http import JsonResponse
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required

@login_required
def user_profile(request):
    user = request.user
    return JsonResponse({
        'email': user.email,
        'first_name': user.first_name,
        'last_name': user.last_name,
    })

cURL / API

curl -X GET https://api.syauth.com/e/v1/user/profile/ \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer <access-token>"

Response:
