Well, I just registered on my site and I would like it when the user logs in the login and registration links disappeared and in place a div with a drop down menu showing links to my account, logout etc. appears. What should I use in this div? I'm using express 4, passport and ejs.

node.js back-end

passport adds a property .user to request and usually has a function like this:

function gateKeeper(req, res, next){
    let environment = express().get('env');
    if (req.user) next();
    else res.redirect('/login');
}

So, if req.user is set, you know the user is logged in.

Following what you said, I'm using this check to try to hide the registration and login when the user is logged in and instead put a drop menu, but I'm having a problem. The registration and login are always appearing, logged in or not logged in what I am doing wrong?

<% if (this.user) { %>
                        <div class="btn-group">
                            <button type="button" class="btn btn-warning dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
                            <span class="caret"></span>
                            <span class="sr-only">Toggle Dropdown</span></button>

                            <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
                                <li><a href="/profile">Minha conta</a></li>
                                <li><a href="/logout">Logout</a></li>
                                <li><a href="/painelControle">Meus eventos</a></li>
                            </ul>
                        </div>
                        <% } else{ %>
                            <li><a href="/cadastroUsuario" class="linkscabecalho">Cadastro</a></li>
                            <li><a href="/login" class="linkscabecalho"> Login </a></li>
                            <% } %>
                                <li><a href="/criarEvento" class="linkscabecalho">Criar evento </a></li>
