    How to get logged in member details?

    Using Umbraco And Getting Started
    Umbraco 9

    I have created a member using the admin office and see it listed under members.

    How could i do the following (in Razor)

    1. Check if the user is logged in or not?
    2. Display their name instead of email?
    3. Configure members session to have a max time of 30 mins before auto logout?

    Thanks

    Where do you want to do this? In a view or in a controller?

    Display their name instead of email?

    Use the IMemberService to get the Member you should then be able to get the Name property

    Configure members session to have a max time of 30 mins before auto logout? You need to add this to the umbraco startup.cs

    services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options => { options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30); });

    1. Where do you want to do this? In a view or in a controller?

    In a View/Razor page.

    1. Use the IMemberService to get the Member you should then be able to get the Name property

    Could i do this in the View as well?

    1. services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options => { options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(30); });

    Ok, is there no way to do this from the config file in case i need to change it in future? (I suppose i could add a variable to the config file to read from) but just in case there is this option?

    You should be able to do the following to get the currently logged in users name in a view

    @inject IMemberManager membermanager

@{
    var currUser = membermanager.GetCurrentMemberAsync().Result;
    if (currUser != null)
    {
        var usersname = currUser.Name;
    }
}

    is there no way to do this from the config file

    Not that I am aware of

    No idea if this is the right way of doing it, but here's something else you can do to access additional member properties:

    @inject IMemberManager MemberManager
@inject IMemberService MemberService

@{
    var currUser = MemberManager.GetCurrentMemberAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
    if (currUser != null)
    {
        var usersname = currUser.Name;
        var member = MemberService.GetById(int.Parse(currUser.Id));
        var someValue = member.GetValue<string>("someProperty");
    }
}

    It seems silly to me that there would need to be two services involved in accessing the details of the currently logged in member, so somebody more informed can feel free to correct this.

    You can just use the membermanager

    member = MemberManager.AsPublishedMember(currUser)

    Interesting, that does seem to work. Seems a bit like the difference between a published content and a non-published content entity.

    That is, MemberManager.AsPublishedMember returns a "published" member that you can access data with (including in a typed way if you cast the IPublishedContent to a models-builder generated class for that member type, such as Member).

    And MemberService.GetById returns a non-published member that you can set data on (e.g., memberInstance.SetValue("firstName", "SomeFirstName")).
