User Info Data Source

Data-binding Current User

User Info

If you are using Webflow User Accounts and SA5's User Info library, then SA5 constructs a User Info object whenever a user is currently logged in.

The details of that object can be data-bound.

  • $user.name

  • $user.email

User Info Data Source

Custom user fields can also be accessed, under $user.data.your-field-name.

You can use this in element data-binding, with the

{{ $user.data.your-field-name }}

Shortcut. @ can be used as a shortcut in place of $user., for example @name is equivalent to $user.name

Examples

wfu-bind = $user.data.link-field

{{ $user.data.link-field }}

This functionality is available when you are using SA5's User Info library.

If you are using Webflow Memberships and SA5's User Info library, then SA5 constructs a User Info object whenever a user is logged in.

The details of that object can be data-bound. e.g.;

  • @email - Gets the current user's email

They can be used with wfu-bind, or within template macros within wfu-bind-content, e.g.

Hello {{ $user.name }}! Welcome to our site.
