Refresh User Data

refreshUser

Refreshes the current user’s data from the server. This function fetches the latest authenticated user information from the backend and updates the local user state.

Use this when you need to ensure the user’s profile data is synchronized with the server, such as after making changes to the user’s account information.

Usage

import { refreshUser } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

const updateUserData = async () => {
  const user = await refreshUser();
  console.log('User refreshed:', user);
};

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
client	DynamicClient (optional)	The Dynamic client instance. Only required when using multiple clients.

Returns

Promise<SdkUser> - A promise that resolves to the authenticated user object with updated data.

Examples

Basic usage

import { refreshUser } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

const handleProfileUpdate = async () => {
  // After updating user profile on the backend
  await updateUserProfile();

  // Refresh user to get the latest data
  const updatedUser = await refreshUser();
  console.log('Updated user:', updatedUser);
};

Listen to user changes

import { refreshUser, onEvent } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

// Set up listener for user changes
onEvent({
  event: 'userChanged',
  listener: ({ user }) => {
    console.log('User data updated:', user);
  },
});

// Trigger refresh - will fire userChanged event if data changed
await refreshUser();

Handle wallet account changes

import { refreshUser, onEvent } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/client';

// Listen for wallet account changes triggered by user refresh
onEvent({
  event: 'walletAccountsChanged',
  listener: ({ walletAccounts }) => {
    console.log('Wallet accounts updated:', walletAccounts);
  },
});

// Refresh user data - will also check for wallet changes
await refreshUser();
