Im trying to figure out how to get a user from there UID from the client / web but can't figure it out, the only thing im finding is for server side.

TL;DR
Developers are unable to access different user information from client SDKs for security reasons. You can set up an Appwrite Function to retrieve a User object based on a provided user id. This functionality needs to be handled on the server side due to security concerns.

You cannot get a different user's info from client sdks, thats not normal and isn't secure. You could technically host an Appwrite Function that returns a User object if it exists based on a sent user id.
