Hello, i am having trouble getting current logged in user data in plugin.

So, i want my plugin to get current user data when event “before\_edit\_post” is fired.

My code looks like this:

### file: plugins/my-plugin/plugin.rb

`DiscourseEvent.on(:before_edit_post) do |post|`  
` currentUserData = ???`  
`end`

So, i would like to get current user data in that code block, but cant figure out how.  
Can someone please help?  
Thank you.
