Checking if email is verified in aws cognito using AWS Amplify Authentication module

Question

I am using the JavaScript AWS Amplify Authentication module. If an existing and confirmed user changes their email address, the user in the cognito user pool is set to not verified and the user is sent a verification code to the new email address. However, I can't find any way with the API to determine if the current user's email is verified or not verified. How can I find out if the user's email address is verified or not via the API?

I figured it out... so for anyone else trying to figure this out:

You need to set the read permissions on the App client to read the Email Verified attribute.

Go to: General settings -> App clients -> Show details -> Set attribute read and write permissions link and check off Readable Attributes: Email Verified
