Sometimes we have need to display information of current login user on lightning component or need to use in client side JavaScript controller.
Today in this post we are going to learn about how we can display current user information on salesforce custom lightning component. and also learn how to get current user ID without calling server side apex controller.
Step 1 : Create a Apex Controller : currentUserInfoCtrl.apxc
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
public with sharing class currentUserInfoCtrl { @AuraEnabled public static user fetchUser(){ // query current user information User oUser = [select id,Name,TimeZoneSidKey,Username,Alias,Country,Email,FirstName,LastName,IsActive,IsPortalEnabled FROM User Where id =: userInfo.getUserId()]; return oUser; } } |
Step 2 : Create Lightning Component : userInfo.cmp
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 |
<aura:component controller="currentUserInfoCtrl"> <span class="crayon-i "> </span><span class="crayon-c"><!-- init handler event call "doInit" function on component load and fetch current user information --></span> <aura:handler name="init" value="this" action="{!c.doInit}"/> <aura:attribute name="userInfo" type="user"/> <b>Current User Information</b> <p>Name : {!v.userInfo.Name}</p> <p>FirstName : {!v.userInfo.FirstName}</p> <p>FirstName : {!v.userInfo.FirstName}</p> <p>LastName : {!v.userInfo.LastName}</p> <p>Email : {!v.userInfo.Email}</p> <p>Username : {!v.userInfo.Username}</p> <p>IsActive : {!v.userInfo.IsActive}</p> <p>IsPortalEnabled : {!v.userInfo.IsPortalEnabled}</p> <p>TimeZoneSidKey : {!v.userInfo.TimeZoneSidKey}</p> <p>Country : {!v.userInfo.Country}</p> </aura:component> |
userInfoController.js
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
({ doInit : function(component, event, helper) { var action = component.get("c.fetchUser"); action.setCallback(this, function(response) { var state = response.getState(); if (state === "SUCCESS") { var storeResponse = response.getReturnValue(); // set current user information on userInfo attribute component.set("v.userInfo", storeResponse); } }); $A.enqueueAction(action); } }) |
Step 3 : Create Lightning Application for Testing: demo.app
From Developer Console >> File >> New >> Lightning Application
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
<aura:application extends="force:slds"> <c:userInfo/> <!-- here c: is org. default namespace prefix--> </aura:application> |
Output :
If you want only current user ID, than you don’t need use apex controller. you can get current login user id in client side JavaScript controller using below statement :

How to get user login user phone number in apex code?
Hi could you provide test class for this please?
If email address is ‘[email protected] on user profile, we can fetch the User name from email on user profile without server call.
Lightning Component :
<aura:component implements=”flexipage:availableForRecordHome>
<aura:attribute name=”UserName” type=”String” default=””/>
</aura:component>
javaScript controller :
({ doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
var UserName = $A.get(“$SObjectType.CurrentUser.Email”);
cmp.set(“v.UserName”,(UserName.substring(0, UserName.lastIndexOf(“@”))));
alert(cmp.set(“v.UserName”));
}
})
Hi Piyush, How to get the profile along with this?
Hi Piyush,
var userId = $A.get(“$SObjectType.CurrentUser.Id”);
alert(userId);
similar way can we get profile Name?
Please advice.
Thanks & Regards,
