Get Current User ID

[stevegiorgi]

How do we go about getting the current user id? Do we need set a request header with X-WP-Nonce? Any examples would be awesome.

You can use get_current_user_id with wp_localize_script to output the data on the page. If you generate a nonce with wp_create_nonce then the user would be authenticated by passing in the X-WP-Nonce header and then you can use get_current_user_id in your WP_REST_Controller handler.
