How can you get the current authenticated user?

[reinvanleirsberghe]

Using the docs on https://jss.sitecore.com/docs/techniques/authentication/sitecore-auth I have managed to login on my angular app.

Now I want to get my profile settings. How can you get the current authenticated userId? The only thing that is set is the cookie with a value, but I can't do anything with this value...

Thanks in advance!

Hi @reinvanleirsberghe

You can bring profile settings from the server by extending LayoutService context, here is the doc that provides an example. This would require some .NET coding :) https://jss.sitecore.com/docs/techniques/extending-layout-service/layoutservice-extending-context#extending-context-data-returned-by-the-layout-service

Here's an example of using GraphQL to accomplish this as well: https://github.com/erzr/JssAuthenticationSSC

Creating a JS function for components to optionally use that would wrap the layout service response with user data would be a nice enhancement to the current behavior. I've added the appropriate label.

When the current user is logged in, the domain and user are included in the LS Context. Can this be closed?
