What is the proper way to test if user is authenticated?
I am using sequence below to test if a user is authenticated or not. However, this causes an async call to kinde as I understand for each isAuthenticated() for ex.
Is there a better way to handle this and obtain the authentication status?
const { getUser, isAuthenticated } = getKindeServerSession();
const authenticated = (await isAuthenticated());
const newuser = await getUser();
if (authenticated) { const newuser = await getUser();
if (authenticated) { const newuser = await getUser();

Hi @bazar21 ,
Thank you for your question. To determine if a user is authenticated without making multiple asynchronous calls, you can streamline your code as follows:
const { isAuthenticated, getUser } = getKindeServerSession(); if (await isAuthenticated()) { const user = await getUser(); // Proceed with authenticated user logic } else { // Handle unauthenticated user scenario }This approach ensures that you only call getUser() when the user is authenticated, reducing unnecessary asynchronous operations. For more details, you can refer to the Kinde TypeScript SDK documentation: https://docs.kinde.com/developer-tools/sdks/backend/typescript-sdk If you have further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask
thank you
