Hi there,  
I’m trying to update user’s email address using Supabase auth.

I installed SupabaseAuth plugin, and I have code below to create a Supabase Auth instance then update a user’s email:

```auto
const supabase = wwLib.wwPlugins.supabaseAuth.publicInstance;

const {data} = await supabase.auth.updateUser({email:'new@email.com'})

```

but this gives `Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: supabase.auth.updateUser is not a function` error.  
Is wwLib.wwPlugins.supabaseAuth.publicInstance still fine to use?  
I wonder what I’m missing.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, you need to refer to the v1 of the supabase sdk documentation

```auto
const { user, error } = await supabase.auth.update({email: 'new@email.com'})

```

We are still working on upgrading to the v2

But we already have an action to update the current user, please use “Update User Metadata” instead, you can let metadata empty and only update the email.

@Alexis do you have an ETA for the Supabase V2 integration?
