How can i get the Employee Home page search widget to include logged in users name

[DevtoSME]

I need to include the logged in users name in the homepage search bar so it can say something like 

"Hello John, how can i help you"

i have seen a few community post with server side script but it does not include the original server widget code that has the asisearch enabled. As i am not js proficient i would like to know what all should be included in the server script and html 

any help would be appreciated

function() {

  /* widget controller */

  var c = this;

  c.data.greeting = 'Hi ' + g_userID.user.first_name; 

}

Try this :

function($scope) {

var c = this;

c.welcome = 'HI'+ $scope.user.first_name + "How can i help you ?";

}
