How to get the current login user name in my Script file inside my asp.net mvc

Question

I have a script file that makes a call to JSON API, and I need to send the current login username as part of the call. I tried the following :-

    $(documen         


        

Answer 1

$(document).ready(function () {
    var name = prompt("Please enter your packageid", "test");

    var fullurl = 'http://localhost:8080/jw/web/json/workflow/process/list?j_username=kermit&hash=9449B5ABCFA9AFDA36B801351ED3DF66&loginAs=' + <%= HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name %> + 'packageId=' + name;
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: fullurl,
        dataType: "JSONP",
        success: function (result) {

the above code should work, on the javascript front you will not have access to HTTPContent object which is available only on the server, but putting them in a server code you should be able to access the same.

or you can have a hidden control with the value set from the server

server code would look like

uid.value = HTTPContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;
