I'm creating a web app with angular. Users can log in and send messages to other users.
What's the best way of globally storing information about the logged in user - e.g. their username, ID, picture URL, etc? Or do I need to send it as part of the JSON data used to render each page?

The "Angular" way to do this, is to use something called a Service
See this video by the amazing John Linguist, for more information on how to achieve this
