How to get User Profile information

Last updated 02/16/2024

Before using the code snippet below, make sure you have added the initialization script tag.

During the authentication process, Bread & Butter collects information about the user, which we make available to your website via our BreadButter.getProfile() call. This allows you to pull that information down to your site to fill in a form, display for the user, or store in a local database for future use.

The call below allows you to fetch information about the current user:

BreadButter.getProfile((user_profile, suggested_provider, device_verified) => {
    console.log('GET PROFILE CALL COMPLETE');
});

});

If provided by the user via authentication, the following information is available in the user_profile object of the callback function:

`user_profile.email_address`	The user’s email address
`user_profile.first_name`	The user’s first name
`user_profile.last_name`	The user’s last name
`user_profile.profile_image_url`	Absolute URL to the user’s profile image

The following information is available in the suggested_provider object:

`suggested_provider.idp`	A string value for the identity provider e.g. “linkedin”, “github”, “microsoft”, etc.
`suggested_provider.name`	A more descriptive string for the provider e.g. “BreadButter GitHub”
`suggested_provider.type`	A string value for the type of authentication e.g. “social”

The device_verified value in the callback is a boolean value indicating whether or not the user has been authenticated.
