using a js to get a field from users collection

[Antonio Saioni]

In users collection i've added a field called "categoria" actually if you are a user i need to open the user page and if you are a contractor you'll go to contractor page.
but i'm not able to create a js to extract this information.

Hi Antonio -

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to achieve with such approach.

To get data from the database you will need to invoke service, here you can find more details: https://devcenter.appery.io/documenta...

Hi Illya, the users collection return only id and token and i need another field called "categoria".
honestly i'm not so keen on apperyio, i've read documentation about but i don't understand how get data via js.

and i want to write a js to get from users collection id token and categoria instead of mapping and invoking service

thanks for your patience..

Hello Antonio,

You can not read such data before getting from the DB. You are able to get it via service or simple GET request

You will need to create your own service for the users table.

This is what it sounds like you need to do, as am I. I have several new columns on the users table and I rad and update them all the time in my app.
