Page with optional auth - How to get user data in React if the user is signed in?

If I set

authRequired: true

authRequired: true

on a page in main.wasp, then I can get the user data just fine in the React front-end like:

export const MainPage = ({ user }: { user: AuthUser }) => {

export const MainPage = ({ user }: { user: AuthUser }) => {

BUT, if I set

authRequired: false

authRequired: false

in main.wasp, then that user object is undefined.

How do I make a page with auth "optional" (user doesn't have to be signed in to access it) but get the user data if the user does happen to be signed in?
