Dear community, as I understood the best way to check for an active session is account.get() and if it returns an 401 there is no active session. Now I would prefer to handle that error more gracefully and not show an error in the console.
I figured my api call would look like this
try {
const currentUser = await account.get();
console.log("API Call Current User", currentUser);
return currentUser;
} catch (error: any) {
if (error.code === 401) {
console.log("Unauthorized, no User Logged In")
return undefined;
}
console.error("Error fetching current user:", error);
return undefined;
}
};
However, even before the catch I get an error thrown in the console.
GET https:
Is this an error thrown from the Appwrite SDK? Anyone an idea on how to handle the 401 more gracefully and avoid this "unnecessary" 401 error in the console?
TL;DR
Developers are seeking help to handle 401 errors more gracefully when using account.get() to check for active sessions. The provided code snippet is causing an error to be thrown in the console before the catch block can handle it. One solution is to use a middleware to intercept and handle the 401 error before it reaches the console, allowing for more graceful handling.
