req.context.user

When a user logs in to the app, for each request, Joystick will attempt to authenticate the user via the joystick_login_token cookie (if present). If a user exists, the accounts middleware will automatically assign that user's data to the req.context.user object.

import joystick from '@joystick.js/node';

joystick.app({
  routes: {
    '/': async (req = {}, res = {}) => {
      return res.render('ui/pages/index/index.js', {
        layout: 'ui/layouts/app/index.js',
        props: {
          has_user: !!req.context.user,
        },
      });
    },
  },
});
