Get user profiles from list of user ids, from within a Theme component

Sören_Geier · December 19, 2022, 1:11pm

Hello,

is there an easy and straight forward way to get a list of user profiles back by passing a list of user ids that I am interested in?

I am only interested in the users’ names to be honest to display those in a tooltip.

I need this for a really cool component that I am planning to provide to the community afterward.

I tried a few things but without any success:

/admin/users.json?id=1&id=2&id=3
/admin/users.json?userids[]=1,2,3

Any ideas?
Thanks

Take a look at:

Specifically:

discourse/discourse-user-card-directory/blob/ca9d6380bfc57c4c8701c193b356fd581673e25d/javascripts/discourse/initializers/user-card-directory.js#L89


      
          
            toLoad.push(userCardInfo);
          
            return userCardInfo;
          });
          
          const loadMax = 50;
          
          while (toLoad.length > 0) {
            const thisBatch = toLoad.splice(0, loadMax);
            const promise = ajax("/user-cards.json", {
              data: { user_ids: thisBatch.map((uc) => uc.user.id).join(",") },
            });
            thisBatch.forEach((uc) => {
              // Each user card expects its own promise
              // Rather than making a separate AJAX request for each
              // We re-use the `user-cards.json` promise, and manipulate the data
              const convertedPromise = promise.then((data) => {
                // Find the correct user from users, and put it in the user attribute
                // Use Object.assign to avoid contaminating the source object
                return Object.assign({}, data, {
