How to get current user ID from backend function and use it in a client-side query in Velo?


In Velo, I am trying to compare the owner ID of already created posts with the ID of current logged-in user.

For this, I want to recall a back-end function that produces the current user ID ("_owner") in use it in a client-side query function. I have been just exhausted of retrieving the "_owner", which I am going to use in the query function, correctly. I know from console.log(memberId) I get the ID inside the query function, but I'm not able to use it as value for the the query function. Any help please?

In the back-end side I have this code:

import { currentMember } from 'wix-members-backend';

export function myGetCurrentMemberFunction() {
 return currentMember.getMember()
    .then((member) => {
        const memberId = member._id;
        return memberId;
    })

}

In the client-side I have this code:

import { myGetCurrentMemberFunction } from 'backend/backendfunctions.jsw'

function matchPostCurrentUser(event) {
// Matching current user ID with that of the entered post ID

wixData.query("Collection1")
    .eq("_owner", myGetCurrentMemberFunction()
    .then(memberId => {
        console.log(memberId)
         memberId
    })
    )
    .find()
    .then((results) => {
        let result = results.items
        console.log(result)
        if (results.items.length === 0) {
            console.log("You choosed other users post's ID" + result )               
        }
    })

}


Solution

  • Look like you've made a bit of a mess of your client-side code. The easiest, and probably most readable way to do this is using async/await instead of .then with the promises.

    That would look something like this:

    async function matchPostCurrentUser(event) {
      const currentMemberId = await myGetCurrentMemberFunction();
      const results = await wixData.query("Collection1")
        .eq("_owner", currentMemberId)
        .find();
    
      console.log(results.items);
      
      // etc...   
    }
    
    

    If you really want to use .then, it would look something like this:

    function matchPostCurrentUser(event) {
      myGetCurrentMemberFunction()
        .then(memberId => {
             return wixData.query("Collection1")
               .eq("_owner", memberId)
               .find();
        })
        .then((results) => {
          let result = results.items;
          console.log(result);
          if (results.items.length === 0) {
            console.log("You choosed other users post's ID" + result );               
          }
        });
    }
