I'm experiencing an issue with updating user data in my application. After performing a profile update, such as name, email, or phone number, the data returned by the database still shows the old information, even after you try to fetch it again with getCurrentUser
// Get Current User
export async function getCurrentUser() {
try {
const currentAccount = await account.get();
if (!currentAccount) throw Error;
const currentUser = await databases.listDocuments(
appwriteConfig.databaseId,
appwriteConfig.userCollectionId,
[Query.equal("accountId", currentAccount.$id)]
);
if (!currentUser) throw Error;
return currentUser.documents[0];
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
return null;
}
}
Summary
Outdated developer data after profile update;
Developers are experiencing issues with updating user data in their application after a profile update. This may be caused by the app caching the request. One potential solution is to ensure that the data is updated in Appwrite before fetching it using getCurrentUser.
