How to display current user in NodeJS app?
To display the current user in a Node.js app, you can use the os
module in Node.js to access the operating system's information, including the current user's details. Here's an example of how you can display the current user in a Node.js app:
javascriptconst os = require('os');
// Get the current user's username
const username = os.userInfo().username;
console.log('Current user:', username);
In this example, we use the userInfo()
method from the os
module to retrieve information about the current user. We specifically access the username
property to get the current user's username.
You can place this code snippet in your Node.js application wherever you want to display the current user's information. When you run the application, it will output the current user's username to the console.
Note that the os.userInfo()
method may not always be available in all operating systems or environments. Ensure that you're using a compatible version of Node.js and refer to the Node.js documentation for further details on the os
module and its methods.
