# Update Current User

This component is used to update information in the current logged in users `/auth/me` path in Xano.

<div className="ndl-image-with-background xl">

![](/library/prefabs/xano/updatecurrentuser.png)

</div>

> Please note that [Xano Client](/library/prefabs/xano/components/setup-xanoclient/) needs to be set up in your app before you can properly use this component.

## Setting up endpoint

Xano does not create this endpoint by default for the user table. You have to create it manually, with a POST verb:

<div className="ndl-image-with-background">

![](/library/prefabs/xano/postverb.png)

</div>

## On success

When the data has successfully been updated the **Update Current User** component will also update the Noodl Object with the id `currentUser`.

A successful update will also trigger a `Xano currentUser Updated` event. You can hook into to this event anywhere in your app using a [Receive Event](/nodes/events/receive-event/) node.
