Creating the isAuthenticated function

Now, we will create just one more function. This function will help us to identify if the user is logged in.

Add the following code right after the getUser() function:

 isAuthenticated(): boolean { // get the token const token: string = this.getToken(); if (token) {     return true; } return false; }

Now, we can use this information anywhere we want just by using the AuthService.currentUser and AuthService.isAuthenticated methods.
