Hello,
what is the name of the variable that contains the name or ID of the logged in user in ESPO?

[rabii]

what do you mean ? front-end or back-end ?

[peterberlin]

front-end

[rabii]

you can get the current user using this.getUser() or even you can get id using this.getUser().id

Hope this helps

[peterberlin]

Many thanks for the info.

Hi and what about back-end logged user variable, can you tell ?

[rabii]

One needs to use a constructor injection to inject the User entity \Espo\Entities\User $user as a constructor parameter and then

private User $user;

public function __construct(
        User $user
    ) {
        $this->user = $user;
    }
// Then access the user​
$this->user->getId()

I want to note again. $this->getUser() is just a wrong answer. One needs to use a constructor injection to inject the User entity. As we almost don't use class inheritance in Espo, $this->getUser() is not relevant.
