# Current User

This component is used to fetch information from the current logged in users `/auth/me` path in Xano.

<div className="ndl-image-with-background xl">

![](/library/prefabs/xano/currentuser.png)

</div>

On a request it checks if the user is still logged in by looking for a valid **authToken**. The **authToken** is automatically generated when the user is logged in.

> Please note that [Xano Client](/library/prefabs/xano/components/setup-xanoclient/) needs to be set up in your app before you can properly use this component.
