How to get the current users id in 'addNavigation'

Hi,

I'm trying to add an item to the navigation system if the user has a value set against their profile, but I'm not sure how to access the current users ID within the addNavigation hook

plugin.addNavigation = function(header, callback) {
    User = module.parent.require('./user');
    User.getUserField(<<CURRENT USER ID SHOULD GO HERE>>, 'gold_member', function(value) {
        if(value){
            header.navigation.push({
                class: "",
                iconClass: 'fa fa-fw ' + 'fa-plus',
                "name": "hello",
                "text": "Add Forum",
                "title": "hello world",
                route: "/new_category"
            });
        }
        callback(null, header);
    });
} ```

any ideas?

Cheers,

M

Added uid into the data passed to the hook, you can get it with header.uid

Keep in mind it will be 0 for users that are not logged in.
