> Learn how to use the User SDK to interact with the current user

The User SDK allows you to interact with the current user. Here we list the methods available in the User SDK.

The example below work within a Server Components: by using the required client, you can easily adapt the code examples below to both Server Actions and Route Handlers.

The User SDK is namespaced under `sdk.user` - so all the methods below are available under `sdk.user`.

## Get the current user

To get the current user, use the `sdk.user.getCurrent()` method:

```tsx
import { LoaderFunctionArgs } from '@remix-run/node';
import getSdk from '~/lib/sdk';
import getSupabaseServerClient from '~/core/supabase/server-client';

export async function loader(args: LoaderFunctionArgs) {
  const client = getSupabaseServerClient(args.request);
  const sdk = getSdk(client);
  const user = await sdk.user.getCurrent();

  // ...
}
```

This method wraps the Supabase `auth.getUser()` function.

## Get the current user's session

To get the current session, use the `sdk.user.getCurrentSession()` method:

```tsx
import { LoaderFunctionArgs } from '@remix-run/node';
import getSdk from '~/lib/sdk';
import getSupabaseServerClient from '~/core/supabase/server-client';

export async function loader(args: LoaderFunctionArgs) {
  const client = getSupabaseServerClient(args.request);
  const sdk = getSdk(client);
  const session = await sdk.user.getCurrentSession();

  // ...
}
```

This method wraps the Supabase `auth.getSession()` function.

## Get the current user's ID

To get the current user's ID, use the `sdk.user.getCurrentId()` method:

```tsx
import { LoaderFunctionArgs } from '@remix-run/node';
import getSdk from '~/lib/sdk';
import getSupabaseServerClient from '~/core/supabase/server-client';

export async function loader(args: LoaderFunctionArgs) {
  const client = getSupabaseServerClient(args.request);
  const sdk = getSdk(client);
  const userId = await sdk.user.getCurrentId();

  // ...
}
```

## Get the current user's Database profile

We store the user's record data in the database table `users`. To get the current user's profile data, use the `sdk.user.getData()` method:

```tsx
import { LoaderFunctionArgs } from '@remix-run/node';
import getSdk from '~/lib/sdk';
import getSupabaseServerClient from '~/core/supabase/server-client';

export async function loader(args: LoaderFunctionArgs) {
  const client = getSupabaseServerClient(args.request);
  const sdk = getSdk(client);
  const data = await sdk.user.getData();

  // ...
}
```

The `data` object will contain the user's profile data.

```tsx
interface UserData {
  displayName: string | null;
  photoUrl: string | null;

  // your custom fields...
}
```

It's very likely that you'll be adding more fields, so this interface may change.
