Current logged in user

[micahlmartin]

I'm wondering how to use this so that on every request it will set my current authenticated user. Currently it seems that the only time request.auth.isAuthenticated is set is when I specifically set the route to require authentication. I'm trying to figure out how to get functionality like in rails or other frameworks where you always have access to the request.auth record without having to force them to be authenticated on each route. That way I can set a navbar header with the current logged in user on all pages. Does this make sense? Is there some other plugin I should be using for this?

You will want to configure mode: 'try'

Oh dear god. Thank you!

Keep in mind that optional mode means either no auth or valid auth. try will also allow requests with bad auth.
