User State

A module for managing user state.

Actions

Used in combination with the Redux store instance dispatch function, actions can be used in manipulating the current global state.

Sets the current user by user ID.

import { setCurrentUser } from 'calypso/state/current-user/actions';

dispatch( setCurrentUser( { ID: 73705554 } ) );

The included reducers add the following keys to the global state tree, under currentUser:

The current user ID, or null if the user has not been assigned as in the case of a logged-out session.

Selectors are intended to assist in extracting data from the global state tree for consumption by other modules.

Returns the current user object.

import { getCurrentUser } from 'calypso/state/current-user/selectors';

const selectedSite = getCurrentUser( store.getState() );
