How do I get user's data in the xxx_webapp.js ?

Hi together,

I have maybe a simple question...

When I want to know for example the phoneNumber or the displayName of the loggedIn user, how do I get this information in the xxx_webapp.js?

I assume I have to consume this api "com.innovaphone.client"?

Like:

var clientApi = start.consumeApi("com.innovaphone.client");

But then, how do I go forward to get/request the phoneNumber or the displayName?

Best regards

Bernd

Hello Bernd,

the client APIs provide additional information via ApiUpdate messages.

Here a short example, how to access this info, whet it gets updated:

this.clientApi = start.consumeApi("com.innovaphone.client");

window.addEventListener("message", onwindowmessage);

function onwindowmessage(msg) {
const obj = JSON.parse(msg.data);

if (obj.mt === "ApiUpdate") {
console.log(obj);

console.warn(obj.apis["com.innovaphone.client"]["@client"]["model"]["user"]["num"]);
console.warn(obj.apis["com.innovaphone.client"]["@client"]["model"]["user"]["dn"]);
}
}

Best Regards

Hi Andreas,

ok, when it's updated I can get this over this EventListener.

But how do I get the data from the actual logged in user, when nothing has changed?

So I want to know the data as it is currently?

Best regards

If you look at this from reactive programming paradigm, this is exact the way to get the info.

You can use a global variable to store the value and update it every time the value has been changed changed.
