Check if any user is logged in or not

JavaScript
1

I need to check if any user has logged-in or not.
I am referring to the code at https://backendless.com/documentation/users/js/users_get_current_user.htm, but it does not seem to work fine for me.

Backendless.LocalCache.get(“current-user”) is returning undefined and not null.

Can you please let me know how to check it? How do I know if I am using persistent login or not.

If you set the stayLoggedIn argument to true, then you’re using persistent login. Do you do that in your code?

3

Yes, Its TRUE in the code. but still that does not work. The value is returend as undefined instead of null.

4 
The value is returned as undefined instead of null.

Returned from what method?

5

As mentioned in intial comment, Backendless.LocalCache.get(“current-user”) code returns undefined.

6

try the first method, it should also work for you:

var currentUser = Backendless.UserService.getCurrentUser();

Thanks for response. Let me play around more. I was confused as I was using persistent storage and it returned “undefined”. Will try further and let you know.

8

It works. But please have the document corrected with the other method.

If this works, why we need another method?

It has been fixed in the docs.
