Authentication Required
This query requires a valid authentication token. The user's identity is determined from the JWT token in the Authorization header.
Data Privacy
This query only returns data for the authenticated user. Users cannot access other users' profiles through this endpoint.
Token Validation
Ensure tokens are properly validated and not expired. Implement token refresh mechanisms for long-running sessions.
Best Practices
Implementation Guidelines
Error Handling
UnauthorizedMissing or invalid authentication token
Token ExpiredJWT token has expired and needs to be refreshed
User Not FoundUser account has been deleted or suspended
async function getUserWithErrorHandling() {
try {
const data = await client.request(query);
return data.getUser;
} catch (error) {
if (error.response?.status === 401) {
// Token expired or invalid - redirect to login
window.location.href = '/login';
} else if (error.response?.status === 404) {
// User not found - clear session
localStorage.removeItem('authToken');
window.location.href = '/login';
} else {
// Other errors - show error message
console.error('Failed to fetch user:', error);
throw error;
}
