Having errors with newly created account.

Hey Sam,

I created an account through steemconnect and when I tried to log-in with it, I get the following error. account: https://steemd.com/@anilkilic

Cannot read property 'about' of undefined

I'm not sure if it was default or not but I'm pretty sure I didn't touched that account yet. So its steemconnect.json_metadata returns '{}' instead of '' or undefined.

Here it's set to '{}' if the first thing is authenticate the application.

steemconnect-node-js-boilerplate/routes/user.js

Line 8 in da4e1d7

if (req.session.steemconnect.json_metadata == '' || req.session.steemconnect.json_metadata === undefined) {

Thanks for the boilerplate again. It will help me a lot.

Thanks for the issue @anilkilic, I've not had a chance to check this but what you say about returning {} is probably right. I'll update this in the next couple days and have some bigger additions for the boilerplate too.

Hey again, I recently able to get back to this project. I just noticed that @anilkilic account doesn't return anything because of the same empty javascript object. When I updated my profile through steemit I finally able to see my profile information screenshot below, but my post is not showing this time. I'm digging it why. I can't reach to my post through url aswell, I believe both happening due to the same issue, I'll let you know if I can find the reason,

Peace ✌️

hey @anilkilic I just updated the boilerplate to a new version with a few extra features and this is mostly cleared up. I still need to add a fallback for the profile image but it no longer breaks the page load.
