    Hi – we’re looking to use ReactPress to build a web app within a WordPress membership website. The React app needs to be aware of the ID of the current logged in user. What is the best way to pass this from WordPress to the React app?

    Thanks

    There is one global js variable ‘reactPress’. It has two properties user and usermeta.

    If the user is logged in, the holds the user data, otherwise, they are empty.

    Hi! Thanks for the answer, but how do I access the variable? Something like process.env.reactPress?
    thanks!

    Ah, ok.

    On localhost:3000 (the React dev server) you need to mock the user. The user is only available on a real WordPress installation.

    I didn’t understand what you say, what is real wordpress installation?
    How the issue will resolve?

    That means it didn’t work on local system.

    Please clarify in detail.

    Thanks

    Your screenshot shows only the create-react-app dev server (localhost:3000). Not a wp installation, not local, not productive.

    ReactPress simulates the theme of your wp installation for a better development experience when you use the cra dev server.
