No description provided.
## Notes
It's generally better to store user data in a table inside your public schema (i.e. `public.users`).
Use the `update()` method if you have data which rarely changes or is specific only to the logged in user.
## Examples
### Update a user's metadata.
```js
const { user, error } = await supabase.auth.update({
data: { hello: 'world' }
})
```
```py
