Obtain Appwrite user object from createEmailPasswordSession()

// Create the Appwrite client.
const { account } = createAdminClient();

// Create the session using the client
const session = await account.createEmailPasswordSession(username, password);

How can I obtain the user object from this?

I use this code in my hooks.server.ts

const { account } = createSessionClient(event);
let appwriteUser = await account.get();

But running account.get() on the account variable that I get from createAdminClient will throw a error:

"(role: applications) missing scope (account)"

Hii 👋 Is this Svelte Kit?

Yupp

Can you please show us your createSessionClient() function?

Hmm, nowhere in this method you setKey. But the error seems to be that API Key is used when doing account.get(). Can you please ensure account is from this clientSession call, and not from clientAdmin?

The problem isn't in the createSessionClient()

I can successfully obtain the authed user from that function, its when I do the login that the issue occurs. I want to get the appwrite user object once I initilize a session with createEmailPasswordSession

For this scenario, considering you have admin session already, you could:

session = await createEmailPasswordSession(...)
userId = session.userId
user = users.get(userId)

(users is new Users(client) where client is from createAdminClient())

const { account } = createAdminClient();
const users = new Users(account)

Passing the value of createAdminClient into the Users is throwing an error

Argument of type 'Account' is not assignable to parameter of type 'Client'.

client doesn't exist on createAdminClient

I meant something like this:

const { users } = createAdminClient();
const user = await users.get(userId);

You might need to define this inside createAdminClient with getter, something along

    // Return the services we want to use.
    return {
        get users() {
            return new Users(client);
        }
    };

ah, i see

@Meldiron how do I set what perfs there are?

const user: Models.User<Models.Preferences>

Error: Property 'domain' does not exist on type 'Preferences'.

You can do Models.User<any> to not type it at all, and it will work.
Otherwise you could define your own type of prefs that you expect, like

export type UserPrefsType = {
  theme: string;
  devices: number;
  nickname: string;
}

And to use custom type, you can const user: Models.User<UserPrefsType>

Both approaches are valid, up to you. I personally dont sture too much in prefs, so benefits from type isn't too significant. So I go the easy way of doing any usually.

Ah

ill rock with that, i do that on other places aswell
