View source for Type:UserRef

User Ref is a nested type usually used to auto fill <code>User</code> [[Type:User|User]] variable when a user rejoins a session with this reference. This works better than a direct [[Type:User|User]] reference, since the user that was referenced by the component can be identified later. The host instantly deletes the [[Type:User|User]] object when a user leaves. making this type for getting a user more worth while for things like overrides and flux.

This currently isn't a component you can attach, but it is part of a [[ProtoFlux:Data Model Store|Data Model Store<User>]], so using such flux node will allow persistent user identification.
