I need to validate a form before submit, but i need to know who’s sending. Actual DB doesn’t show the name of user, only id. Then i need to create a kind of email validation in my form where a registered user put his email and the formula says if its match with his registered email or not before send the form.

Anyone has this formula or know how can i do this?

Hello Fernando,

It would look something like this

import wixData from 'wix-data';
...

wixData.query(collectionName)
.eq("email", userEmail)
.find()
.then((res)=> {
   if(res.length>1) { //user found
     //whatever you want to happen after validation.
   }
});

Best,
Majd

I am trying this very thing and the code errors for the query due to auth (user does not have read permissions on the collection). How am I supposed to query a collection while a “non member” is registering?

Hello Sharon.

You might want to look into collection permissions and editing them, here:

Goodluck,

Hello Majd Qumseya,
I read the code you wrote and I wonder how can I change it to use for verify if an email is already present in the collectionDB before register a new user.
Can you help me, please?

Good bye,
Marco
