context.params.user is empty object

[dengunya]

Using auth.hooks.authenticate(['jwt'])
Trying to get current user from hook.
There is context.params.user but it's empty object.
Changing "entity" option works, still context.params['entity'] is empty.
Am i doing something wrong ?

Steps to reproduce

Use auth.hooks.authenticate(['jwt']) hook
Use own hook afterwards and try getting context.params.user

Expected behavior

context.params.user populated with user object (or at least userId)

Actual behavior

context.params.user is empty object

Module versions (especially the part that's not working):
"@feathersjs/authentication": "^2.1.1",
"@feathersjs/authentication-jwt": "^1.0.2",
"@feathersjs/authentication-local": "^1.0.4",

What does the encoded JWT you are sending look like? I'm suspecting it does not have a userId?

What does the encoded JWT you are sending look like?

Here's genetated token:
eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6ImFjY2VzcyJ9.eyJpYXQiOjE1MTg0MjU3NTgsImV4cCI6MTUxODUxMjE1OCwiYXVkIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9kb21haW4uY29tIiwiaXNzIjoiZmVhdGhlcnMiLCJzdWIiOiJhbm9ueW1vdXMiLCJqdGkiOiIzNGYyNzYwOS0yM2FhLTQ0OWMtYWQ1NC1iMmM3OTU1MmMxM2UifQ.mN1lEoUck7vY0o1vnoimn6TaS6ujX7qhyjd1bVzMW-U

Seems there's no userId. Do you have any thoughts why it can be so ?

The problem is that I don't call authentication service directly, but do smth. like:

  app.post('/users/authenticate', function (req, res, next) {
    app.service('/authentication').create({
      strategy: 'local',
      email: req.body.email,
      password: req.body.password
    }).then(token => {
        res.send(token);
    });
  });

because I need to avoid passing "strategy", just username and password and use another url.
And I wonder if I can pass User to params from Authentication After Create Hook.

That information would've been quite useful at the beginning ;) Only external calls are expected to pass authentication information like that (on the server you can just create any token you want) so you'll have to pass params.provider to make it look like an external call:

  app.post('/users/authenticate', function (req, res, next) {
    app.service('/authentication').create({
      strategy: 'local',
      email: req.body.email,
      password: req.body.password
    }, { provider: 'express' }).then(token => {
        res.send(token);
    });
  });
