The User class (stored in app/models) is a "Model" allowing to interact with the users table.
This page is dedicated to
Userclass specifics and NOT how to add, get, update or delete users.
For that read about Models.
Given a $user of type User access the attributes like this:
$user_id = $user->id;
$username = $user->username;
The default attributes are: id, username, email, password, display_name, joined, status, role_id.
However there are some extra ones: avatar, firstName, lastName, about, gender, birthday, phone, location, verified, lastLogin, lastLoginIp.
If you have set some other ones using the User Fields or User Meta you can access them using the usermeta attribute:
$value = $user->usermeta['meta_key'];
Make sure to wrap that in a if statement or use @ for safety.
You may use the User::can method to determine if a user has a specific permission.
if ($user->can('add_users'))
{
// The user can add users
}
The User Meta allows to simply add, get, update and delete custom meta for the users.
Usermeta::add('user_id', 'meta_key', 'meta_value', true);
The last argument indicates whether the same key should not be added.
$value = Usermeta::get('user_id', 'meta_key', true);
If the second argument is empty '' all metadata for the user will be retrieved.
The last argument indicates whether to return a single value for the key.
Usermeta::update('user_id', 'meta_key', 'meta_value');
Usermeta::delete('user_id', 'meta_key');
If the second argument is omitted all metadata for the user will be removed.
See src/Hazzard/User/Meta.php for the full list of methods and arguments for the Usermeta class.
