GrowthBook Users

What’s the recommended approach to trigger a refetch of feature toggles with GrowthBook?
Let’s say a user logs in and I want to update the toggles based on some value that’s only available when the user is signed in.

Would running setAttributes automatically trigger a refetch or do I need to retrigger creating my Growthbook instance?

I saw something about autoRefresh, but that’s mainly for when features are added / updated in Growthbook I assume?
```await gb.loadFeatures({ autoRefresh: true });```
Or would updating your attributes with setAttributes also retrigger an autorefresh in this scenario?

it triggers a refresh if you call setAttributes again

the autoRefresh is not for that - its for connecting to the GrowthBook Proxy server, otherwise it has no effect. We use Server-Sent Events, but only if you’re connecting through a GrowthBook Proxy server (<https://docs.growthbook.io/self-host/proxy>). - that’s what that setting controls - without that it has no effect.

Alternatively, you can manually update at any time by calling `gb.refreshFeatures()` .  So you can implement your own polling behavior if you want or hook into user actions like navigation or button clicks.
