Check if user is logged in inside the server plugin.

[thinkdiff]

Hello,

I am a newbie to plugin
and am trying to make a plugin where I will need to check if the user is logged in first prior to any action.

I was able to make it work by using a POST type request in client and req.user.uid in server-side function.

Can this work with GET type as well? Somehow req.user is not retrieved in server side library.js function.
Basically I am looking for a way to ensure that any request (regardless of GET/POST) is processed only for users who are logged in.

This should be possible, ex.

if (req.user && req.user.uid) {
  // logged in 
}

can you link the code perhaps, and git revision if possible
