Adding user object into the request #68

Open eddieajau opened 9 years ago

eddieajau commented 9 years ago

I'm just wondering if there is a convenient location to add the user object into the request.

For example, the in isAdmin policy (see https://github.com/tarlepp/angular-sailsjs-boilerplate/blob/master/backend/api/policies/isAdmin.js#L16) you are finding the user. I will likely want a number of policies to access the user object, so is there a good place to set req.user?

Thanks in advance.

At this point "boilerplate" don't have really usage for this, but basically you have current user ID in request.token which is set on the authenticated policy (https://github.com/tarlepp/angular-sailsjs-boilerplate/blob/master/backend/api/policies/authenticated.js#L31) after user has been authenticated.

So basically that's the point that you're looking for. I hope this helps.
