Is it possible to access the user ID via a widget?

[Thadeusz Lay]

I want to access the user ID of the the logged in user and the user I'm visiting. Is this possible with a widget or do I have to write a plugin?

The logged in user should be app.user.uid, if you are visiting a user, the id should be ajaxify.data.theirid

Here's a small script for you.

<span id="myid" style="display:none;">My uid: </span>
<span id="theirid" style="display:none;">Their uid: </span>
<script>
if (app.user.uid) {
  $('#myid').append(app.user.uid)
  $('#myid').show()
}
if (ajaxify.data.theirid) {
  $('#theirid').append(ajaxify.data.theirid)
  $('#theirid').show()
}
</script>
