Get User Information

Retrieve user profiles and information using the UserRepository with real-time updates

Retrieve user information using the UserRepository to display profiles, user cards, and social metadata. User objects contain core identity information and provide real-time updates when user data changes.

Live Objects: User data is returned as Live Objects that automatically update when the underlying data changes, keeping your UI synchronized.

Get Single User

Retrieve a specific user by their unique ID:

iOS

var token: AmityNotificationToken?

func observeUser() {
    let liveObject = userRepository.getUser("<user-id>")
    token = liveObject.observe { liveObject, error in
        // Handle live object notification
        guard let user = liveObject.snapshot else {
            print("Error: \(String(describing: error))")
            return
        }
        print("User ID: \(user.userId), Display Name: \(user.displayName ?? "Unknown")")
    }
}

Get Multiple Users

Retrieve multiple users efficiently using batch operations:

iOS

// Get all users with pagination (observe live collection)
let liveCollection = userRepository.getUsers(.displayName)

token = liveCollection.observe { collection, error in
    let users = collection.snapshots
    print("Loaded \(users.count) users")
    displayUserList(users)
}

// Load next page
if liveCollection.hasNext {
    liveCollection.nextPage()
}
