# waitForCurrentUser

## Overview

Wait until the store holds a successful answer to the current-user request. Use it in custom guards that
need to know whether the user is signed in.

While a current-user request is in flight, it waits for that request instead of sending another. When no
request has been made, or the last one failed, it sends a new request. When the last request succeeded,
it returns at once.

## Signature

`waitForCurrentUser(pinia)`

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| <span id="param-pinia">pinia</span> | `Pinia` | yes | The Pinia instance. |

### Returns

`Promise`

The user store. Rejects with the request
 error when the current-user request fails.
