I need to pass the email in the GET API request it keeps failing although i know the string works

export function userInfo1() {

let user = wixUsers.currentUser;
let userEmail;
user.getEmail()
.then( (email) => {
userEmail = email;
} );

const url = ‘https://members-7478.restdb.io/rest/user-device?q={“UserID”:"’ ;

let fullUrl = url + userEmail +‘"}’
;

return fetch(fullUrl, {
method: “get”,
mode: “cors”,
cache: “no-cache”,
headers: {

“Content-Type”: “application/json”,
“x-apikey”: “5beade40be3893357a6f2c9b”
}
})
.then( function (response) {
return response.json();
})

.then( function (json) {

return json; // This function is added to return the result in the desired format. This is required to Parse the response
})
. catch(function (error) {
console.log(‘Request failed’, error)
});
}

Here you go! You are not running the code inside the returned promise where you actually get the email as a value so that is why your code won’t work.

export function userInfo1() {

 let user = wixUsers.currentUser; 
 let userEmail; 
 user.getEmail()
    .then( (email) => {
 // Here is the first time the email value gets stored
 userEmail = email; 
 
 // Here is where all the rest of the code needs to be

 const url = 'https://members-7478.restdb.io/rest/user-device?q={"UserID":"' ;
 let fullUrl = url + userEmail +'"}';

 return fetch(fullUrl, {
 method: "get",
 mode: "cors",
 cache: "no-cache",
 headers: {
 "Content-Type": "application/json",
 "x-apikey": "5beade40be3893357a6f2c9b"
            }
        }) 
        .then(function(response) {
 return response.json();
        })
        .then(function(json) {
 return json; // This function is added to return the result in the desired format. This is required to Parse the response
        })
        .catch(function(error) {
 console.log('Request failed', error)
        });
    } );

 // Any code added here will not wait for the userEmail promise
 // so do not try to get that value here

 
}

Thanks Andreas, you are, yet again a super star. My issue seems to be fundamental always around where the {} start and finish. What in your opinion is the best place to learn these basics?

@andreas-kviby Im now seeing an error in soemthing that was previosuly working fine. This would be in the frontend code when trying to parse the response

export function search_click_1(event) {
userInfo1()
.then(response => {
$w(“#Result”).text =
“UserID:” +response[0].UserID + “\n”
+“Device:” +response[0].Device;
})
}

The line of UserID is causing the uncaught promise error?
