How to retrieve the currently logged in user with Backand

Question

I am using the Backand BaaS for my Ionic app. I am trying to retrieve the currently logged in user.

At the moment I am setting a $rootScope variable upon the login event with the signed in user.

Is there an easier way to do this process without having to programatically set my own 'loggedInUser' variable ?

After you logged in, you can get user details with two methods.

 Backand.getUsername()
 Backand.getUserDetails()

You have to add 'Backand' service to your controller.

app.controller('ExampleCtrl', function(Backand){
     console.log(Backand.getUsername());
}

If user is not logged in, methods will return null.
