Best practice for providing current user from db to all react components?
So I know that various auth providers have hooks like useUser() or useSession() which you can use to access their user object in components, but I have a users table where each user has an extensive amount of data describing them.
I personally use supabase with the T3 stack, and I don't want to copy all this data to the "user_metadata" that supabase provides just to have the useUser() functionality.
So my question is: what's the best practice for providing current user data (from the users table in db) to all react components for the purpose of stuff like conditional rendering?
(I've thought about state management solution, or just plain old useContext(), but then how would you trigger refetches when the user changes something?)
