How to check if a user is authorized in the Pinterest IOS SDK?

Question

In my other app using Parse here I check if currentUser was nil, and if not segued past the LogInViewController. With the Pinterest SDK I can't find anywhere in the documentation where I can check for a currentUser.

What's the best way to structure this so that if the user had authorized already, performSegueWIthIdentifier, if not display this LogInViewController? I was thinking about saving the user's name to NSUserDefaults and then calling PDClient.sharedInstance().getUser(nameSavedToNSUD), and if success perform the segue but it seemed like a bit of hack and there has to be a better way?

import UIKit

class LogInViewController: UIViewController {

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

    }


    @IBAction func didPressLogInButton(sender: UIButton) {


        let permission = [PDKClientReadPublicPermissions,
            PDKClientWritePublicPermissions,
            PDKClientReadPrivatePermissions,
            PDKClientWritePrivatePermissions,
            PDKClientReadRelationshipsPermissions,
            PDKClientWriteRelationshipsPermissions]
        PDKClient.sharedInstance().authenticateWithPermissions(permission,
            withSuccess: { (responseObject :PDKResponseObject!) -> Void in


                    self.performSegueWithIdentifier("showBoards", sender: self)



            }) { (err :NSError!) -> Void in
                print("error NSError: \(err)")
        }





    }


}

Thank you but this post was prior to the release of their new API I think, they do have log in now — GarySabo, Jan 27 '16 at 18:44

Pinterest SDK has a `silentlyAuthenticatedWithSuccess' method that works great here:

PDKClient.sharedInstance().silentlyAuthenticateWithSuccess( { (responseObject :PDKResponseObject!) -> Void in


            self.performSegueWithIdentifier("showBoards", sender: self)



            }) { (err :NSError!) -> Void in
                print("error NSError: \(err)")
        }

This method works inconsistently. Sometimes, it is successful but sometimes failed. Do you experience the same ? – Kong Hantrakool Apr 03 '16 at 06:42
@KongHantrakool no I haven't had any problems in my experience – GarySabo Apr 03 '16 at 12:38
