better documentation guidelines on how to retrieve the user using the flutter authenticator?

[willredington]

On which framework/platform would you like to see this feature implemented?

Flutter

Which UI component is this feature-request for?

Authenticator

Please describe your feature-request in detail.

I've got the authenticator setup to the point where I can login successfully. But from there I'd like to call an AWS resource that is backed by a Cognito resource. In order to do that I need a token from the user, but as far as I can tell in the docs, there's no API available to retrieve that information.

Please describe a solution you'd like.

Hey @willredington, have you tried fetching the Amplify auth session as described here? Let me know whether or not that works for your use case.
