This script worked for me before I updated to latest build, but now it just returns null, even though I am logged into backend. Anyone got a idea?:

public function checkUser() {

$user = BackendAuth::getUser();

    dd($user);

    if ($user) {
        return response()->json($user);
    } else { 
        return response()->json(array('error'=>'Not logged in'));
    }
}

Fixed it by adding ->middleware('web') on the api route:

Route::post('api/nameOfApi', [    
 'uses' => 'Brand\Plugin\Controller@checkUser'
])->middleware('web');

Must also be applied to eventual logout and login routes to work together.
