Check user membership of current user in security group using javascript

Question

I am working on SharePoint 2016 on-premises environment. I need to implement the some functionality based on the result whether the currently logged-in user is a part of a security group or not using javascript/jquery. Can someone advise on how I can check the user membership in a security group?

You can use SPServices to check the Current User. Here is an example

var userInGroup=false;
var site = "/sites/Sitename";

  $().SPServices({
  operation: "GetGroupCollectionFromUser",
  userLoginName: $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
                           webURL: site
                       }),
  webURL: site,
  async: false,
  completefunc: function (xData, Status){
      if ($(xData.responseXML).find("Group[Name='Security Group name']").length == 1){
          userInGroup=true;
      }
  }
  });

  if(userInGroup)
  {
  $("input[title='Priority Confirmed']").closest("tr").show();

  }
  else
  {
  $("input[title='Priority Confirmed']").closest("tr").hide();
  } 
});
