Get logged in user data in SAP Work Zone

[former_member634775]

Hi I am currently working on a Card in SAP Work Zone that should display the current logged in user. Is there a way to get the logged in user data from SAP Work Zone and add it in the Card?

Yes. If you have the card instance, you can call getHostInstance() on it to obtain context information in Work Zone:

card.getHostInstance().getContextValue("sap.workzone/currentUser")

Note that this returns a Promise. See https://help.sap.com/docs/WZ/7d3b9c7211ca4d7a9630b524205ee836/e69aef3fb6f448d084ce601ebf4555da.html?... for more information. Also the documentation for getContextValue(): https://ui5.sap.com/#/api/sap.ui.integration.Host%23methods/getContextValue

Where do you call this function? In the configuration.js?

[JBrook]

There's just the /dt/configuration.js file..

Designtime configuration file.

In any controller Init function you can call below code : 

this.getOwnerComponent().oComponentData._sapUiIntegration_card.getHostInstance().getContextValue("sap.workzone/currentUser/email").then(function(value){console.log(value)})

apologies for any typo.
