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
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.

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