Can I access the user ID of the post I'm editing?

Ser5

I need to access it later, to retrieve that user data from the store and use it in other places, like in the composer window.

I tried to extend various methods of the following objects, and see what the extender callback receives as an argument:

But can't find any references to the post being edited.

you can extend the CommentPost component and access the current post like this?

extend(CommentPost.prototype, 'oncreate', function () {
    const postID = this.attrs.post.id()
}

i do not remember but for sure you can access the post author as a relation

Justoverclock Wow, I didn't suspected, that I can access that inside extenders. I'll check this, thanks!

Ser5

Justoverclock Holy cow, your example worked immediately! What a great memory, thank you!

UPDATE
For the user ID I can access it with

this.attrs.post.data.relationships.user.data.id;

IDK if this is allowed approach or this data is considered private, but it does work.

Ser5 glad that this help you, i do not remember if you can access direcly with

this.attrs.post.user()

but of course your above solution is fine

Ser5

Justoverclock However it appears I still have a problem... CommentPost does contain user ID. But I don't see Composer has any relations to the post being edited, nor the user. So I'm cut off from the user ID of CommentPost.

If editing a post, you're dealing with the EditPostComposer, which does have a post attribute

flarum/frameworkblob/1.x/framework%2Fcore%2Fjs%2Fsrc%2Fforum%2Fcomponents%2FEditPostComposer.js

Sami SychO Hey, that was simple indeed, it does work!

Here is my example:

extend(EditPostComposer.prototype, 'oncreate', function (e) {
    console.log(this.attrs.user.data.id);
});

Thank you for your efforts, guys! 🤗
