Domo User Name

MartinB

Hello, maybe a silly question

 

domo.env.userId

 

This line gets the id for a Domo User, but how can I get the User Name?

I'm recreating DP19 Advanced App Building Exercise and I'd like my app to have the username instead of the id, this will be helpful for when I create custom apps for my company

 

Thanks in advance

Got the answer. Just needed to play a little with where I wanted to get this value.

 

Also, I had to re publish my app, as trying to replace userId with userName gave me several bugs, I decided to add a column in my collection so it saves userId AND userName in separate fields

 

domo.get('/domo/users/v1/' + domo.env.userId + '?includeDetails=true').then(function(me){
    ByWho=me.displayName;
});

I hope this helps someone else in the Community
