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.

Can this work with GET type as well? Somehow req.user is not retrieved in server side library.js function.

This should be possible, ex.

https://github.com/psychobunny/nodebb-plugin-twilio/blob/master/library.js#L8-L9

and

https://github.com/psychobunny/nodebb-plugin-twilio/blob/master/library.js#L29

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

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