then use account.get but wrap it in a try/catch

Summary

The user is experiencing an Error 401 Unauthorised. They have defined certain functions in the auth_service file and are using try/catch statements to handle potential errors. The user wants to prevent the error from showing in the console, so it doesn't appear to the user. There is a recommended isLoggedIn function that checks if the user is logged in based on the store value. It suggests using account.get and wrapping it in a try/catch statement. No solution has been provided in the support thread.

TypeScript

const isLoggedIn = computed(() => {
    const maybeLocal = localStorage.getItem("pvauser");
    if (maybeLocal) {
      $user.value = JSON.parse(maybeLocal);
      return true;
    } else if ($user.value) {
      return true;
    } else {
      return false;
    }
  });

TypeScript

const isLoggedIn = async () => {
  try {
    const user = await account.get();
    return user (or true);
  catch (e) {
    return null | undefined;
  }
}

For a user to register, you simply have to do account.create(ID, email, password)

Ah oke i just don't want the error to show in console, so it doesn't show to the user, but if it won't crash the app I think it's no harm
