How to check which user is signed in

Sorry all, I just can't find it in the docs. I found an article but the method shown is now deprecated. I'm using the convex auth implementation in react/expo, I assumed there would be a hook for the current user? 🙇🏻‍♂️

Thanks for posting in <#1088161997662724167>. Reminder: If you have a Convex Pro account, use the Convex Dashboard to file support tickets. - Provide context: What are you trying to achieve, what is the end-user interaction, what are you seeing? (full error message, command output, etc.) - Use search.convex.dev to search Docs, Stack, and Discord all at once. - Ask in the <#1228095053885476985> channel to get a response from <@1072591948499664996>. - Avoid tagging staff unless specifically instructed. Thank you!

you create a function in the backend

export const currentUser = query({
  args: {},
  handler: async (ctx) => {
    const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);
    return userId !== null ? ctx.db.get(userId) : null;
  },
});

export const currentUser = query({
  args: {},
  handler: async (ctx) => {
    const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);
    return userId !== null ? ctx.db.get(userId) : null;
  },
});

frontend:

  const user = useQuery(api.auth.currentUser);

  const user = useQuery(api.auth.currentUser);
