Loopback Client Side Authentication

Is it possible to use client side authentication using the standard Loopback authentication / user model? I don't want to rely only on client side validations, but for something as simple as showing a "log out" button when the user logs in, it would be helpful to validate this on the client side.

I really want to change the DOM in Angular based on the isAuthenticated function response or something similar.

Thanks for any help.

There is actually an isAuthenticated function in the Loopback Angular SDK. Link here: https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-sdk-angular/blob/fb161b7eaa02df877fe894daa54e4bd0fa4e041e/CHANGES.md

Hmm ... If the user was logged in, you would receive a response access token in response, which you use for all future API calls. If you have a token, they are authenticated. If you're not sure if this is a valid token, you can simply push /User/[id]?access_token=[token]

- if that fails, they no longer authenticate.
