User Metadata Not Present

[sharshbarger]

Hi Mark -- first, thank you so much for creating and sharing this project.

I have a question re getting user metadata (https://clerk.com/docs/users/metadata. I was expecting it would be a property of the user object that you inject into locals.session, but it is not. You can test this by going to the Clerk dashboard, editing a user and adding metadata there.

Should that be available where I expect it? Or am I misunderstanding something?

Thank you!

Pending PR, but once merged, you can access the metadata like this:

import { clerkClient } from 'clerk-sveltekit/server';

export const load = async ({ locals }) => {
	const { userId } = locals.auth
	// Set metadata
	await clerkClient.users.updateUserMetadata(userId, {
		privateMetadata: {
			stripeId: stripeId,
		},
		publicMetadata: {
			hello: 'world',
		},
	})

	// Retrieve metadata
	const user = await clerkClient.users.getUser(userId)
	// user.privateMetadata.stripeId
        // user.publicMetadata.hello

Retrieve public metadata in browser

<script>
import { useClerkContext } from 'clerk-sveltekit/client'

const { user } = useClerkContext()

$: console.log($user?.publicMetadata.hello) 
</script>
