Examples

The following query is run in the context of a logged-in Fauna user:

result, err := client.Query(
	f.HasCurrentIdentity())

if err != nil {
	fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, err)
} else {
	fmt.Println(result)
}
false
client.query(
  q.HasCurrentIdentity()
)
.then((ret) => console.log(ret))
.catch((err) => console.error(
  'Error: [%s] %s: %s',
  err.name,
  err.message,
  err.errors()[0].description,
))
false
result = client.query(
  q.has_current_identity()
)
print(result)
False
HasCurrentIdentity()
