Allow users to update their own AWS Cognito attributes

What are the options for implementing a React interface to allow users to update their own attributes like name, address and phone number? Is this something I'd need to completely custom build with Amplify?

I would expect a self-service account update feature to be pretty standard, like the sign-up, sign-on and password reset features of the Cognito hosted UI. But I can't seem to find any documentation or articles about it.

It is standard enough that you'll find many templates online, but not so standard that you'll get it out of the box (like you do with login, create-account, forgot-password). Build the UI yourself, then 'save' updates using the updateUserAttributes method on Amplify's Auth class.

import { Auth } from 'aws-amplify'

async function updateUser() {
  const user = await Auth.currentAuthenticatedUser();
  await Auth.updateUserAttributes(user, {
    'address': '105 Main St. New York, NY 10001'
  });
}

Here's a link to the Amplify documentation for updateUserAttributes.
