My nodebb version is 0.9.4.

You can use req.uid to check if user is logged in or not.

Its giving me error: req is not defined.

Note: I am currently testing the plugin under my nodebb 1.0.0 version localhost. But my actual site is running on 0.9.4 version where i'll be adding this plugin.

Do i need to use cls middleware? I tried using it. But its too giving me errors.

You may need user = module.parent.require('./user').

nodebb-plugin-composer-default will be good example for you.

But i think there is no method to check if the user is a registered member or non-member in it

What about this http://nodebb-francais.readthedocs.org/projects/nodebb/en/latest/plugins/create.html

var cls = module.parent.require('./middleware/cls'); // require cls once in your plugin.

var MyPlugin = {
        myMethod: function(postData, callback) {
            var req = cls.get('http').req; // current http request object.
            var res = cls.get('http').res; // current http response object.
            var uid = req.user.uid; // current user id
            // ...
        },

        // let's say this one occurs on a websocket event,
        myOtherMethod: function(somethingData) {
            var socket = cls.get('ws').socket; // current socket object.

            var uid = socket.uid; // current user id, if available

            var payload = cls.get('ws').payload; // socket payload data, if available
            var event = cls.get('ws').event; // socket last event, if available

            // ...
        }
    };

            // ...
        }
    };

Its giving error module not found require('./middleware/cls') last time i checked.

I'm not sure why that appears on the docs. That change has not been added into the code yet.
