OSDK React app: Get user name for given user ID to display usernames instead of IDs

I have an action that creates an object, and one property is automatically set to the userid (createdBy property). In workshop this gets rendered nicely as the user name as I configured this in the Ontology Manager, but in my OSDK app I only the user id.
Which API should I use here to resolve this or is there an OSDK build in solution for this?

Hi,

You can use the platform sdk to fetch user details. See the platform sdk admin package, installed via:

npm install @osdk/foundry.admin

Then you retrieve get the username, givenName, familyName, email and other attributes with:

import { User, Users } from "@osdk/foundry.admin"

const userDetails: User = await Users.get(client, "user-id");
