Get user id in Web SDK

Good Morning @Will Bishop ,

thank you for your reply! Luckily I already managed to get the user_id through the Web SDK with the function Miro.board.getUserInfo(), which returns the user_id. Through the Miro.board.getOnlineUsers() I than compare the user_id of the user with all active users to also get the associated username for the user_id. That is sufficient for me as I already implemented a stripe workflow and user verification etc. 

The great thing with user_ids is that for “login” the user into the service one can hijack the Miro login and simply associate the user_id with a license key to grant access to the server without the need for a special login within the app. 

For reference here is the workflow of first catching the users id and than getting their username (verify() is the function that handles the login process which I have not copied here):

async function identify(){

await miro.board.getUserInfo()

.then(res => getUserName(res.id))

.then(test => verify(test));

}

async function getUserName(user_id){

const onlineUsers = await miro.board.getOnlineUsers();

onlineUsers.forEach(element => {

if(element.id == user_id){

username = element.name;

userid = element.id;

}

});

return;

}
