In my single page application once I login with FeathersJS authentication I am passing my JWT token to the server for further service requests . In my service hook I am using authenticate("jwt") to check for authentication . It is working perfect , but also populating context.params.user with the user information . So authenticate("jwt") calling user get service for every API call which has authentication enabled .
1) If I don't need any user information other the the user ID can I avoid this user get service call ? Or is there any other specific reason to populate user object ?
2) By avoiding the above call , Can I just populate context.params.user only with the ID ( From the JWT token? )?
Thank You
There's no way to avoid populating the user object right now unless you want to extend various internals of feathers authentication to do so.
