Derive username from userId
How can i derive the username using a user id?
I have these entities:
entity JobAd {=psl
id Int @id @default(autoincrement())
description String
owner User @relation(name: "createdBy", fields: [ownerId], references: [id])
ownerId Int
provider User? @relation(name: "servedBy", fields: [providerId], references: [id])
providerId Int?
psl=} entity User {=psl id Int @id @default(autoincrement()) isProvider Boolean @default(false) psl=} In my client side, i have a tsx file with the following signature: const SearchResult = ({ jobAd } : { jobAd: JobAd }) => { const { description, ownerId, providerId } = jobAd; How can i get the email address that was used for this user? something like: const username = getUsername(ownerId)

Hi @OrBlatt. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the provided knowledge sources, Wasp provides a helper function
getUsername
that can be used to get the username of a user. However, this function requires a user
object as an argument, not a userId
. The getUsername
function returns the user's username or null
if the user doesn't have a username auth identity.
Here is an example of how to use it:
In your case, you would need to first fetch the user
object associated with the userId
(either ownerId
or providerId
), and then pass this user
object to the getUsername
function.
Unfortunately, the knowledge sources do not provide information on how to fetch a user
object by userId
in Wasp. You might need to create a query to fetch the user object from the database using the userId
.
Please note that there is an open issue on GitHub discussing the possibility of rethinking the getUsername
and getEmail
functions to make them methods or properties on the AuthUser
object, which might change how these functions are used in the future.

and getEmail

Wohooo @OrBlatt, you just became a Waspeteer level 2!
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
To fetch a user object from the database using the
userId
, you can create a query in Wasp. Here's an example of how you might do it:
In your main.wasp
file, declare the query:
Then, in src/user/queries.js
, implement the query:
In this example, getUserById
is a Node.js function that takes two arguments: args
and context
. args
is an object containing the data passed in when calling the query (in this case, the userId
), and context
is an additional context object passed into the query by Wasp. This object contains user session information, as well as information about entities.
You can then use this query in your client-side code to fetch the user object:
Please note that this is a simplified example and you might need to adjust it according to your needs.

Perhaps try again in 15mins?This is how the
User
and the auth entities are connected: https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/entities#entities-explained
You'll need to use the include
option in Prisma to get the auth
and the identities
list.
Alternatively, you'd save the username
on the User
using the userSignupFields
.
@kapa.ai tell us about both optionsAuth Entities | Wasp
Wasp supports multiple different authentication methods and for each method, we need to store different information about the user. For example, if you are using the Username & password authentication method, we need to store the user's username and password. On the other hand, if you are using the Email authentication method, you will need to s...
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Sure, let's discuss both options:
1. Using Prisma's
include
option to get auth
and identities
list:
In Wasp, the User
entity is connected to the rest of the auth system through the Auth
and AuthIdentity
entities. The Auth
entity is connected to the User
entity via a one-to-one relationship, and the AuthIdentity
entity is connected to the Auth
entity via a one-to-many relationship.
When you want to fetch a User
along with its associated Auth
and AuthIdentity
entities, you can use Prisma's include
option. However, the knowledge sources do not provide a specific example of how to do this.
2. Saving the username
on the User
using the userSignupFields
:
The userSignupFields
is a feature in Wasp that allows you to define extra fields that need to be set on the User
during the sign-up process. For example, if you have a username
field on your User
entity, you can set it by defining the userSignupFields
like this:
In this example, the username
field of the User
entity is set to the username
property of the data
object, which is the data passed to the sign-up process.
You can read more about the userSignupFields
function here (https://wasp-lang.dev/docs/auth/overview#1-defining-extra-fields).

Perhaps try again in 15mins?I don't understand the options. @miho @kapa.ai
Here's what i have:
main.wasp
query getUserById {
fn: import { getUserById } from "@src/queries",
entities: [User],
}
server side:
queries.ts
export const getUserById: GetUserById<{ userId: number }, User> = async (args, context) => {
return context.entities.User.findMany({
where: {
id: args.userId
},
include: {
auth: true,
identities: true
}
})
}
client side:
import { getUserById, useQuery } from 'wasp/client/operations'
const { data: ownerUsername, error } = useQuery(getUserById, { id: ownerId })
Why isn't it working?
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Based on the provided code, it seems like you're trying to fetch a single user by their ID, but you're using
findMany
which is used to fetch multiple records. You should use findUnique
instead when you're fetching a single record by a unique identifier like id
.
Here's how you should modify your getUserById
query:
On the client side, the useQuery
hook returns an object with data
and error
properties. The data
property will contain the user object returned by the getUserById
query. If you're trying to get the username, you'll need to access it from the user object. Here's how you can do it:
Please note that this assumes that the username
is a property of the User
entity. If the username
is stored in the AuthIdentity
entity, you'll need to access it differently.

Can I use this to get the username of a user given a userId?
@kapa.ai
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
----------------------
Yes, the function
getAuthUserData
in the provided GitHub link is a good example of how to fetch a user along with their associated Auth
and AuthIdentity
entities using Prisma's include
option.
This function takes a userId
as an argument and fetches the corresponding user from the database, including the auth
and identities
fields.
Here's the function for reference:
In this function, User['id']
is the type of the userId
argument, AuthUserData
is the type of the data returned by the function, and prisma.user
is used to interact with the User
entity in the database.
You can use this function to fetch a user and their associated Auth
and AuthIdentity
entities, and then extract the username from the returned data.
Please note that the actual implementation of this function might be slightly different in your case, depending on how your entities are defined and how the username is stored.
