I've been using the aws-amplify library with ionic and was wondering how I would check if a user is logged in? I'm coming from a firebase background so this is quite different. This is so that I can grant access to certain pages based on the user's log in status. In my auth provider I import Amplify {Auth}. I can see that it's possible to get several pieces of data but I'm not sure what to use. There's currentUserPoolUser, getCurrentUser(), getSyncedUser(), currentAuthenticatedUser, currentSession, getCurrentUser(), userSession, currentUserCredentials, currentCredentials and currentUserInfo. I can't seem to find any documentation on any of this either. Everything I've read and watched covers up until the user signs in... Is this all supposed to be done on the client? Thanks.

Hey I think for now you can only use Auth.currentUserInfo(); to detect whether logged in or not. It will return undefined if you are not logged in or an object if you are.
