## Notes
- Fetches the user object from the database instead of local storage.
- Note that user() fetches the user object from local storage which might not be the most updated.
- Requires the user's access_token.
## Examples
### Fetch the user object using the access_token jwt.
```js
const { user, error } = await supabase.auth.api.getUser('ACCESS_TOKEN_JWT')
```
