Can't access frappe.session.user_fullname from custom.js

Hello. I’m trying to get frappe.session.user_fullname from a custom js in hooks.py

I am using the user “Administrator” and this code to verify that it is getting the data correctly:

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
     var isAdmin = frappe.session.user_fullname === 'Administrator';
     console.log(isAdmin)
});

Always returns false. Instead, using only frappe.session.user_fullname from chrome console it returns result correctly

Any ideas? My goal is to hide some content taking the user (or the role) into consideration, but for some reason I cannot access the data from custom js.

Hi @jls:

Why not use frappe.session.user or frappe.boot.user.name?

Hope this helps, bro.

I put frappe.session.user_fullname because it was what I was checking at the time (I had already tried it before, and multiple more variants xD), with frappe.session.user the result is the same:

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
     console.log("User:", frappe.session.user);
});

Output = “User: undefined”

With frappe.boot.user.name (I didn’t know about it), it seems to work:

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
     console.log('22');
     console.log("User:", frappe.boot.user.name);
});

Output: “User: Administrator”
