Function useUser

Returns UseUserReturn

The returning object contains:

• refresh: FetchUserMethod - Function to refresh the user data.
• fetched: A boolean flag indicating whether the user data has been fetched.
• user: The fetched user object or null if not yet available.

Implementation Details

• Caching: API responses are cached for for 60 seconds (60,000 ms) to minimize redundant network requests.
• Effect Trigger: The useEffect hook is used to initiate the data fetch when the userId changes.
• Error Handling: Any errors encountered during the fetch process are logged to the console and re-thrown with additional context for clarity.
