does anyone know why

auth.user()

doesn't work in the

load()

function in sveltekit? it always returns

null

, even though it works fine in the regular script tags. in the load function, i'm trying to query from a table with a rls policy

auth.role() = 'authenticated

, but it keeps failing. changing the check with

auth.role() = 'anon'

works for some reason. i'm guessing this is related to the

auth.user()

returning

null

.

Yep, this is most likely the reason. I have an explanation about why I think this happens here: https://github.com/supabase/gotrue-js/issues/143#issuecomment-970288835

I don't know sveltekit very well, but the auth.user() function works only on the client.

aaaa, good point @User - the explanation I linked is actually about the client

is the load() function on the server?

it runs on both the server & the client

I guess its not made for fetching data then? That would be inefficient! What do you use it for?

i'm using it to get the data from supabase before the component loads

Would that not load it twice?

i'm not sure myself

Or is it one function that does not stop loading?

it's like getServerSideProps from nextjs

But that only runs on the server?

in sveltekit it runs on the client too. i got this from the docs, but not sure as to how it actually works

But then you just load the resources from apis or whatever twice, don't you?

yes probablty

Thats wierd.
