How it works​

The viewer query returns the user associated with the current JWT token. It returns the IBaseUser interface, so use an inline fragment (... on Contact) to access contact-specific fields like contactId and company. If no user is authenticated, the query returns null. This query is typically called on page load to check the session state and populate the header with the user's name and company.
