Description

The CurrentToken function returns information about the active authentication:

  • When a token is used, a Reference to the token document is returned.

  • When a key is used, and the key exists in the current database (and not in a parent database), a Reference to the key document is returned.

  • When authentication is performed by an identity provider, an object containing the active JWT’s claims is returned.

For all other cases, CurrentToken emits an error. These cases include:

  • Authentication uses the "root" Fauna secret.

  • Authentication uses a key that has the database field set.

Parameters

None.

Returns

For tokens, and keys defined in the current database, a Reference to the associated token/key.

For JWTs, an object containing the claims from the active JWT.

For connections using the "root" Fauna key, or a key that has the database field defined, an error is returned.
