This code is not working in my website at all:
import wixUsers from ‘wix-users’;
$w.onReady( function () {
wixUsers.currentUser.getRoles()
.then((roles) => {
console.log(roles[0])
})
});
I have three roles and i can’t get any
First off, note that Wix Users will only work properly in a live and published site, do not test it just through the preview.
The APIs in wix-users are only partially functional when previewing your site. View a published version of your site to see their complete functionality.
The APIs in wix-users can only be used once the page has loaded. Therefore, you must use them in code that is contained in or is called from the onReady() event handler or any element event handler.
It will only work if the current user is logged in site member and only get one role, which if you have site members with multiple roles, it can’t guarantee which role is first and get that specific role.
As mentioned in this previous post here.
https://www.wix.com/corvid/forum/community-discussion/get-the-information-of-user-roles
You can read more about that in a previous post linked below, where they talk about getting members paid plans and if they have more than the one, which like getRoles is asynchronous code.
https://www.wix.com/corvid/forum/community-discussion/checking-the-member-plan-status-then-show-or-hide-button
You would need something like this…
import wixUsers from 'wix-users';
$w.onReady(function () {
var roleName;
let currentUser = wixUsers.currentUser;
currentUser.getRoles()
.then( (roles) => {
var firstRole = roles[0];
roleName = firstRole.name;
if(roleName === "Teachers"){
$w('#teachersText').show();
}
})
});
Have a look at the Wix Users getRoles function itself too.
https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/wix-users.User.html#getRoles
Examples
Get a member’s roles
user.getRoles()
.then( (roles) => {
if(roles.length > 0) {
let firstRole = roles[0];
let roleName = firstRole.name; // "Role Name"
let roleDescription = firstRole.description; // "Role Description"
}
else {
console.log("Member has no roles");
}
} )
.catch( (error) => {
console.log(error);
} );
/*
* Member with roles:
* Roles array is:
* [
* {
* "name": "Role Name",
* "description": "Role Description."
* }, {
* "name": "Another Role",
* "description": "Another Description"
* }
* ]
*
* Member with no roles:
* Logs: "Member has no roles"
* Roles array is: []
*
* Admin:
* Roles array is:
* [
* {
* "name": "Role Name",
* "description": "Role Description."
* }, {
* "name": "Admin"
* }
* ]
*
* Non logged-in visitor:
* Logs: "No user is currently logged in"

See previous forum posts for more info.
So, GOS like to post links to answers and make you figure it out for yourself. which doesn’t always help answer the question
so here’s an actual working code that more directly solves the riddle
import wixUsers from 'wix-users';
$w.onReady(function () {
var roleName;
let currentUser = wixUsers.currentUser;
currentUser.getRoles()
.then((roles) => {
console.log('Received '+roles.length+' roles');
for (let i = 0 ; i < roles.length ; i++) {
console.log(roles[i]);
var roleType = roles[i];
roleName = roleType.name;
if(roleName === "Steward"){$w("#steward").expand(); $w('#steward').show(); }
if(roleName === "Official Judge"){$w("#judges").expand(); $w('#judges').show(); }
}
})
});

Plus, on the given link example, there was already a previous forum user who had posted up a working sample that they had used, so this forum user could have used that to begin with.

Yes, it could easily be improved like as the example that you have provided above, however it was a starting point for the user to get on with.
Which again is in the Forum Guidelines too.

Hi below is my code I use when someone log and I want to show different menu for different group so user.getRoles() gives me roles
$w.onReady(() => {
let ktos = wixUsers.currentUser;
if (ktos.loggedIn) setupPage();
wixUsers.onLogin((user) => {
setupPage();
});
});
export function setupPage() {
let user = wixUsers.currentUser;
user.getRoles()
.then((roles) => {
if (roles.length === 0){
$w("#menu").show();
$w("#menuobsluga").hide();
$w("#klientgroup").hide();
}
else {
let firstRole = roles[0];
let roleName = firstRole.name;
//console.log(roles);
//console.log= (roleName); // "Role Name"
let roleDescription = firstRole.description; // "Role Description"
if (roleName === "obsluga" && user.loggedIn) {
$w("#menu").hide();
$w("#menuobsluga").show();
$w("#klientgroup").hide();
}
if (roleName === "Klient" && user.loggedIn) {
$w("#menu").hide();
$w("#klientgroup").show();
$w("#menuobsluga").hide();
}
else {
$w("#menu").show();
$w("#klientgroup").hide();
$w("#menuobsluga").hide();
})
}
}
}
I edited it.
@katiejohnson7585 better… thank you
