You can do it by comparing the Discourse.User.current() expression with null.

An example:

github.com

discourse/discourse/blob/v1.7.0.beta10/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/controllers/application.js.es6#L15-L17


loginRequired() {
  return Discourse.SiteSettings.login_required && !Discourse.User.current();
},

Another example (2018-03-28)

github.com

discourse-pro/df-ask/blob/1.1.0/assets/javascripts/df-ask/connectors/user-profile-controls/df-ask.js.es6#L14-L16


		if (!Discourse.User.current()) {
				route.send('showLogin');
			}
