Hi, I want to more question
How to get uid from username? (with spaces)
Thanks

Same as before just turn the username into a user slug with the slugify module. Client side it would be.

require(['slugify'], function(slugify) {
   var userslug = slugify('some username');
   $.getJSON('/api/user/' + userslug, function (data) {
     console.log(data.uid);
   });
});

@baris very thanks
This is the JS code I write for new chat with users, thanks to the help you give me

require(['autocomplete'], autocomplete => {
    var modal = bootbox.dialog({
        title: '[[flags:start-new-chat]]<i class="fa fa-comments-o" style="margin: 0 7px;"></i>',
        message: '<input class="form-control input-lg" placeholder="[[user:username]]">',
        buttons: {
            cancel: {
                label: '[[modules:bootbox.cancel]]',
                className: 'btn-default',
                callback: () => modal.modal('hide')
            },
            ok: {
                label: '[[modules:bootbox.ok]]',
                className: 'btn-primary',
                callback: () => false
            }
        },
        onEscape: true,
        backdrop: true,
        show: true
    });

    modal.on('shown.bs.modal', () => {
        var inputEl = modal.find('input');
        inputEl.focus();
        autocomplete.user(inputEl);

        modal.find('.btn-primary').click(() => {
            utils.isUserNameValid(inputEl.val()) ? require(['slugify'], slugify =>
                $.getJSON(`/api/user/${slugify(inputEl.val())}`, data => {
                    app.newChat(data.uid);
                    if (app.user.uid != data.uid) modal.modal('hide');
                }).catch(() => app.alertError('[[error:no-user]]'))
            ) : app.alertError('[[error:invalid-username]]')
        });
    });
});
