Correct way to check if user is logged in and perform a ".me()" request

Hi there,

Just wanted to check/confirm:

Is there a way, whilst only using wpapi, to check whether the wp.users().me() request can be performed?

If the user is not logged in, but a call to wp.users().me() is made, then the response is 403, but I’d like to be able to check if the user is logged in before making the wp.users().me() call.

Currently I’m wrapping the call in this:

if (document.body.classList.contains('logged-in')) {
  //Make call
}

But it seems like an awful way to do it…!

Any advice on this would be great 👍
