description: "Access personal workspace data in MakerKit layouts. Load user account information, subscription status, and account switcher data with the User Workspace API."
---

The User Workspace API provides personal account context for pages under `/home/(user)`. It loads user data, subscription status, and all accounts the user belongs to, making this information available to both server and client components.

{% /sequence %}

## loadUserWorkspace (Server)

Loads the personal workspace data for the authenticated user. Use this in Server Components within the `/home/(user)` route group.

```tsx
import { loadUserWorkspace } from '~/home/(user)/_lib/server/load-user-workspace';

export default async function PersonalDashboard() {
  const data = await loadUserWorkspace();

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Welcome, {data.user.email}</h1>
      <p>Account: {data.workspace.name}</p>
    </div>
  );
}
```

### Function signature

```tsx
async function loadUserWorkspace(): Promise<UserWorkspaceData>
```

### Caching behavior

The function uses React's `cache()` to deduplicate calls within a single request. You can call it multiple times in nested components without additional database queries.

```tsx
// Both calls use the same cached data
const layout = await loadUserWorkspace();  // First call: hits database
const page = await loadUserWorkspace();    // Second call: returns cached data
```

{% callout title="Performance consideration" %}
While calls are deduplicated within a request, the data is fetched on every navigation. If you only need a subset of the data (like subscription status), consider making a more targeted query.
{% /callout %}

## useUserWorkspace (Client)

Access the workspace data in client components using the `useUserWorkspace` hook. The data is provided through React Context from the layout.

```tsx
'use client';

import { useUserWorkspace } from '@kit/accounts/hooks/use-user-workspace';

export function ProfileCard() {
  const { workspace, user, accounts } = useUserWorkspace();

  return (
    <div className="rounded-lg border p-4">
      <div className="flex items-center gap-3">
        {workspace.picture_url && (
          <img
            src={workspace.picture_url}
            alt={workspace.name ?? 'Profile'}
            className="h-10 w-10 rounded-full"
          />
        )}
        <div>
          <p className="font-medium">{workspace.name}</p>
          <p className="text-sm text-muted-foreground">{user.email}</p>
        </div>
      </div>

      {workspace.subscription_status && (
        <div className="mt-3">
          <span className="text-xs uppercase tracking-wide text-muted-foreground">
            Plan: {workspace.subscription_status}
          </span>
        </div>
      )}
    </div>
  );
}
```

{% callout type="warning" title="Context requirement" %}
The `useUserWorkspace` hook only works within the `/home/(user)` route group where the context provider is set up. Using it outside this layout will throw an error.

## Data structure

### UserWorkspaceData

```tsx
import type { User } from '@supabase/supabase-js';

interface UserWorkspaceData {
  workspace: {
    id: string | null;
    name: string | null;
    picture_url: string | null;
    public_data: Json | null;
    subscription_status: SubscriptionStatus | null;
  };

  user: User;

  accounts: Array<{
    id: string | null;
    name: string | null;
    picture_url: string | null;
    role: string | null;
    slug: string | null;
  }>;
}
```

### subscription_status values

| Status | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `active` | Active subscription |
| `trialing` | In trial period |
| `past_due` | Payment failed, grace period |
| `canceled` | Subscription canceled |
| `unpaid` | Payment required |
| `incomplete` | Setup incomplete |
| `incomplete_expired` | Setup expired |
| `paused` | Subscription paused |

### accounts array

The `accounts` array contains all accounts the user belongs to, including:

- Their personal account
- Team accounts where they're a member
- The user's role in each account

This data powers the account switcher component.

## Usage patterns

### Personal dashboard page

```tsx
import { loadUserWorkspace } from '~/home/(user)/_lib/server/load-user-workspace';

export default async function DashboardPage() {
  const { workspace, user, accounts } = await loadUserWorkspace();

  const hasActiveSubscription =
    workspace.subscription_status === 'active' ||
    workspace.subscription_status === 'trialing';

  return (
    <div className="space-y-6">
      <header>
        <h1 className="text-2xl font-bold">Dashboard</h1>
        <p className="text-muted-foreground">
          Welcome back, {user.user_metadata.full_name || user.email}
        </p>
      </header>

      {!hasActiveSubscription && (
        <div className="rounded-lg border border-yellow-200 bg-yellow-50 p-4">
          <p>Upgrade to unlock premium features</p>
          <a href="/pricing" className="text-primary underline">
            View plans
          </a>
        </div>
      )}

      <section>
        <h2 className="text-lg font-medium">Your teams</h2>
        <ul className="mt-2 space-y-2">
          {accounts
            .filter((a) => a.slug !== null)
            .map((account) => (
              <li key={account.id}>
                <a
                  href={`/home/${account.slug}`}
                  className="flex items-center gap-2 rounded-lg p-2 hover:bg-muted"
                >
                  {account.picture_url && (
                    <img
                      src={account.picture_url}
                      alt=""
                      className="h-8 w-8 rounded"
                    />
                  )}
                  <span>{account.name}</span>
                  <span className="ml-auto text-xs text-muted-foreground">
                    {account.role}
                  </span>
                </a>
              </li>
            ))}
        </ul>
      </section>
    </div>
  );
}
```

### Account switcher component

```tsx
'use client';

import { useUserWorkspace } from '@kit/accounts/hooks/use-user-workspace';
import { useRouter } from 'next/navigation';
import {
  Select,
  SelectContent,
  SelectItem,
  SelectTrigger,
  SelectValue,
} from '@kit/ui/select';

export function AccountSwitcher() {
  const { workspace, accounts } = useUserWorkspace();
  const router = useRouter();

  const handleChange = (value: string) => {
    if (value === 'personal') {
      router.push('/home');
    } else {
      router.push(`/home/${value}`);
    }
  };

  return (
    <Select
      defaultValue={workspace.id ?? 'personal'}
      onValueChange={handleChange}
    >
      <SelectTrigger className="w-[200px]">
        <SelectValue />
      </SelectTrigger>
      <SelectContent>
        <SelectItem value="personal">
          Personal Account
        </SelectItem>
        {accounts
          .filter((a) => a.slug)
          .map((account) => (
            <SelectItem key={account.id} value={account.slug!}>
              {account.name}
            </SelectItem>
          ))}
      </SelectContent>
    </Select>
  );
}
```

### Feature gating with subscription status

```tsx
'use client';

import { useUserWorkspace } from '@kit/accounts/hooks/use-user-workspace';

interface FeatureGateProps {
  children: React.ReactNode;
  fallback?: React.ReactNode;
  requiredStatus?: string[];
}

export function FeatureGate({
  children,
  fallback,
  requiredStatus = ['active', 'trialing'],
}: FeatureGateProps) {
  const { workspace } = useUserWorkspace();

  const hasAccess = requiredStatus.includes(
    workspace.subscription_status ?? ''
  );

  if (!hasAccess) {
    return fallback ?? null;
  }

  return <>{children}</>;
}

// Usage
function PremiumFeature() {
  return (
    <FeatureGate
      fallback={
        <div className="text-center p-4">
          <p>This feature requires a paid plan</p>
          <a href="/pricing">Upgrade now</a>
        </div>
      }
    >
      <ExpensiveComponent />
    </FeatureGate>
  );
}
```

### Combining with server data

```tsx
import { loadUserWorkspace } from '~/home/(user)/_lib/server/load-user-workspace';
import { getSupabaseServerClient } from '@kit/supabase/server-client';

export default async function TasksPage() {
  const { workspace, user } = await loadUserWorkspace();
  const client = getSupabaseServerClient();

  // Fetch additional data using the workspace context
  const { data: tasks } = await client
    .from('tasks')
    .select('*')
    .eq('account_id', workspace.id)
    .eq('created_by', user.id)
    .order('created_at', { ascending: false });

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>My Tasks</h1>
      <TaskList tasks={tasks ?? []} />
    </div>
  );
}
```
