Why does the useGetIdentity did not work
i've tried printing it out and data and image is not undefined except for the user where i just use the useGetIdentity in the following code
export const CreateStudent = () => {
const { data: user } = useGetIdentity();
console.log("just got it user:", user)
const [studentImage, setStudentImage] = useState({ name: "", url: "" });
const {
refineCore: { onFinish, formLoading },
register,
handleSubmit,
} = useForm();
const handleImageChange = (file: File) => {
const reader = (readFile: File) =>
new Promise<string>((resolve, reject) => {
const fileReader = new FileReader();
fileReader.onload = () => resolve(fileReader.result as string);
fileReader.onerror = reject; // Handle FileReader errors
fileReader.readAsDataURL(readFile);
});
reader(file)
.then((result: string) =>
setStudentImage({ name: file?.name, url: result })
)
.catch((error) => console.error("Error reading file:", error));
};

Hi @Luckman. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
The
useGetIdentity
hook is used to get the user's identity. It calls the getIdentity
method from the authProvider
under the hood. The data that is resolved from the getIdentity
will be returned as the data
in the query result. If the getIdentity
method does not resolve any data, then the data
property of useGetIdentity
will be undefined
.
In your case, if the user
is undefined
, it might be because the getIdentity
method in your authProvider
is not returning any data.
Here is an example of how getIdentity
method can be implemented in the authProvider
:
In this example, the getIdentity
method is getting the user's identity from the local storage. If the user's data is found in the local storage, it returns the user's email and roles. If not, it returns null
.
You should check your authProvider
's getIdentity
method implementation to make sure it is correctly returning the user's data.
For more information, you can refer to the useGetIdentity
documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/hooks/use-get-identity/) and the getIdentity
documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/authentication/auth-provider#getidentity).
