Hello,

I need to compare the current user with his other contacts. How can I get the id (or the contact object) of the current log on user ?

  Hi Nathanael,

  As explained by Andrea, if you are using the SDK for Node.JS, you have access to the connected user information (current user) by checking the nodeSDK.connectedUser property.

  Using the SDK for Web, you have an equivalent method rainbowSDK.contacts.getConnectedUser()

  Same for the SDK for Android: RainbowSdk.instance().myProfile().getConnectedUser()

  Could you precise what kind of SDK you use ?

  Thanks

  Sorry, I ommit to mention that I'm using the SDK for web.

  rainbowSDK.contacts.getConnectedUser() is exactly what I was looking for.

  Thanks Andrea and Olivier.

  Side question : when using rinbowSDK.contacts.getAll(), on the web SDK, we need to wait for Rainbow to load everything in memory. Do we have an event attached to that which says "all loaded" so that we can use this method ? Thanks

  Hi Patrice,

  This API rainbowSDK.contacts.getAll() directly replies all known contacts.
  (loaded/asked at SDK start and updated if needed)
  It's a synchronous call, no need of an event.

  The existing event
  RAINBOW_ONCONTACTINFORMATIONCHANGED
  is fired if a contact is updated and for new contacts.

  Best regards,
  Pascal

  Not (yet) documented, if it exists it is in contact.avatar
