Get User Name? about office-js-helpers

[WrathOfZombies]

@ostorefice Thanks 👍

There's no way to get user name in this library as we don't control the scope/API implementations of each of the Auth providers. It would add additional maintenance costs and hence I suggest using the Graph API to get that information with the token you obtained.

See more info here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/

Here's a sample on how to use Office Helpers with graph: https://github.com/microsoftgraph/javascript-officeuifabric-peoplepicker-sample/blob/master/PeoplePicker.html#L163

If, by username you mean the UPN then this is one of the returned values (I'm using the /me endpoint when querying msft graph)

I'm using react, but the following code is probably quite obvious, and provides me with the UPN (the token's scope used for this request is https://graph.microsoft.com/User.Read):

export function getMicrosoftUserProfile(token){
    return function(dispatch){
        request
            .get(`${constants.MSFT_DATA_API}/me/`)
            .set('Accept', 'application/json')
            .set('Authorization', `Bearer ${token.access_token}`)
        .then(
            res => {
                if (res.status >= 200 && res.status < 300) {
                    dispatch(setUserInformation(res.body))
                    console.log(res.body)
                }
            }
        )
        .catch((err) => {
            console.log(err.status + ': ' + err.response)
          })
    }
}

returned values:

@azolson yes the username would be the UPN.
