Question

I have a jQuery .get call that hits a URL which returns true or false based on whether the user is signed in or not. This allows me to redirect the user to a login form if they aren’t authenticated rather than the entire page being displayed in a small div (which holds content a signed in user should be able to see)

I think there is a problem with my .get syntax:

$(document).ready( function () {

          function logInCheck() {

              $.get({{ path('signed_in_check') }}, function(data) {

                  var loggedIn = data;
                  alert(loggedIn);

              });

          }
      logInCheck();
});

This doesn’t work, and even if I replace alert(loggedIn) with alert(“hello”), the alert doesn’t get called.

You have bad typos in your code.

$(document).ready( function () {
      function logInCheck() {
          $.get(path('signed_in_check'), function(data) {
              var loggedIn = data;
              alert(loggedIn);
          });
      }
      logInCheck();
});

It should work for now.
