Getting started
Checking the session
Read the current user from the session with the web SDK.
1 min read
The SDK offers two ways to look at the session.
Querying the user
html
<script type="module">
const sdk = new window.I6Sdk();
const user = await sdk.auth().user();
console.log(user);
</script>sdk.auth().user() queries api/auth/me on the platform.
Requiring the session
html
<script type="module">
async function main() {
const sdk = new window.I6Sdk();
const user = await sdk.auth().requireUser();
if (!user) return;
// from here on there is an active session
}
main();
</script>requireUser() sends the browser to login when there is no active session. Use
this form when the page loads, before any user action.
