Get username from uid

[cadack]

I'm writing a plugin that uses the action:post.save hook
I've got the plug-in logging the post data to the console fine.

Im then trying to fetch the username from the uid from the post data.
my basic library.js is:

var User = module.parent.require('./user';);
module.exports.emailalert = function(postData) {
console.log(postData.uid); // this is returning '2'
User.getUserField(postData.uid, 'username', function(data){
console.log(data); // this is returning 'null'
});
};

however User.getUserField is returning null.
User module is definitely getting called.

Hey @cadack! That method is error-first, so give this a shot:

User.getUserField(postData.uid, 'username', function(err, username) {
    console.log(username);
});

You could also try the method User.getUsernamesByUids
