Out of the box, the adonis inertia.js config file had this section of code:
sharedData: {
user: (ctx) => ctx.inertia.always(() => ctx.auth.user),
},
But in my vue components, when I add user to defineProps it is undefined.
What am I missing? The documentation on the AdonisJS site doesn't go into much detail.
Hi Ryan!
The authenticated user isn't populated until you tell AdonisJS to populate it. This can be done using the auth middleware, silent_auth middleware, or manually calling auth.check() as needed. You're most likely missing one of those.
Note that you also need to specify a serialized type for your Lucid Models using either casting or DTOs.
Thank you! Yes, I found from another forum that I was not using the auth middleware with my route. I added it, and now the user shows up as expected.
