I'm using livewebinar embed code and i'm try to pass the Current WordPress user name in Embed Javascript

Here is the code

<script type='text/javascript'>



var _options = {

    '_license_key':'***-***-***',

    '_role_token':'',

    '_registration_token':'',

    '_widget_containerID':'embedWidget',

    '_widget_width':'100%',

    '_widget_height':'100vh',

    '_widget_nickname': I NEED TO PASS THE CURRENT WPUSER IN THIS PARAMETER, <<<<<<<-----------



}; .............. <script>

The goal is Get the Current Wordpress user name value and pass it inside _nickname parameter

My Answer:
You can achieve this by using the WordPress wp_localize_script function to pass the current user's username to your JavaScript code. Here's an example of how you can do this:

In your WordPress theme's functions.php file, add the following code:

php
function add_current_user_to_script() {
if (is_user_logged_in()) {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
wp_localize_script('your-script-handle', 'current_user', array(
'username' => $current_user->user_login
));
}
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'add_current_user_to_script');


Replace 'your-script-handle' with the handle of the script where you want to access the current user's username.

In your JavaScript code, you can now access the current user's username like this:

javascript
console.log(current_user.username);


This will output the current user's username in the browser console. You can then use this value in your Livewebinar embed code as needed.
