External Module: User

User APIs request user-specific information such as IMS organization, IMS profile, access token, tenant, and so on. They also add capabilities to solutions, for example notifying the shell when a session expires, or configuring a logout URL to expire custom sessions.

Import:

import user from '@adobe/exc-app/user';

Default export:

UserApi

Usage:

This is an example of how to get user attributes:

import user from '@adobe/exc-app/user'; const [org, name, orgs, token, profile, locale, subOrg, tenant, languages] = await Promise.all([ user.get('imsOrg'), user.get('imsOrgName'), user.get('imsOrgs'), user.get('imsToken'), user.get('imsProfile'), user.get('locale'), user.get('subOrg'), user.get('tenant'), user.get('preferredLanguages') ]);

Receiving updates

You can also listen for updates on requested data by listening to change events. Change events are emitted from the API from which the data is requested. For example, if a user calls await user.get('locale'); they must listen for the change event on user.on('change:locale'). If a user calls await user.get('imsOrg') they must listen for the change event on user.on('change:imsOrg'). Here is a more detailed example of how to use the API and change events to track specific configuration values:

import user from '@adobe/exc-app/user'; constructor() { this.state = {org: null, shell: {}}; user.on('change:imsOrg', (org) => { this.setState({org}); }); } async componentDidMount() { const org = await user.get('imsOrg'); this.setState({org}); }
