Go ahead and add update your nav bar in layouts/app.html:

Click here to view code image

<nav class='navbar navbar-default'>

<div class='container'>

<ul class='nav navbar-nav'>

<li><a href="/#/">Posts</a></li>

<li><a href="/#/register">Register</a></li>

<li><a href="/#/login">Login</a></li>

</ul>

<p ng-if='currentUser' class="navbar-text navbar-right">

Signed in as {{currentUser.username}}

</p>

</div>

</nav>

Now you can populate that currentUser object on $scope here. It isn’t as easy as going into LoginCtrl and setting $scope.currentUser = user, however. That’s because LoginCtrl isn’t scoped all the way out to this controller. You could use $rootScope (the global scope) instead, but there is a better way to do this without messing with global memory like that.

The better solution is to have the LoginCtrl bubble up a login event and have a parent ApplicationCtrl listen for that. ApplicationCtrl will then set $scope.currentUser, making it available to all children.

Update LoginCtrl in ng/login.ctrl.js to pass the event up using $emit:

angular.module('app')

.controller('LoginCtrl', function ($scope, UserSvc) {

$scope.login = function (username, password) {

UserSvc.login(username, password)

.then(function (response) {

$scope.$emit('login', response.data)

})

}

})

Now, put the ng-controller directive for the ApplicationCtrl on the <body> tag inside layouts/app.html:

<body ng-app='app' ng-controller='ApplicationCtrl'>

And create ng/application.ctrl.js:

Click here to view code image

angular.module('app')

.controller('ApplicationCtrl', function ($scope) {

$scope.$on('login', function (_, user) {

$scope.currentUser = user

})

})

Now you should finally be able to log in to your app! One more thing you need to do in order to finish up your authentication is to link the user to the post.
