get user first name inside of widget

[Brook3]

I want to display first name of current user inside of widget.

inside of widget

HTML

<p>Hello, {{firstName}}</p>

SERVER SCRIPT

(function() {
 var firstName = gs.getUser().getFirstName();
})();

What is wrong? I have tried many ways but have not been successful.

Try: 

Do not declare data, as it is already declared as server side object.

server:

data.firstName = gs.getUser().getFirstName();

HTML:

<p>Hello, {{data.firstName}}</p>

HI,

IN Server code you should be always using data.XXXX and then in widget html you can access that data.xxxx in{{}}

Hi Brook,

You should be able to get the user's first name from the scope, so write your client controller like this:

function($scope) {

var c = this;

c.welcome = $scope.user.first_name ;

}

And in HTML, in which field you want to get the data you can use this. {{c.welcome}}

So on this field you get the first name.

If this helps you then please mark correct or helpful.

Thanks

Swapnil
