Parse.com can't get username from Parse.User.current?

Question

Using javascript, after a successful login, I tried to extract the username, as shown below:

var user = Parse.User.current(); name = user.getUsername; 

Name Value: function (){return this.get("username")}

If I use name = user.getUsername();

Undefined value !!

Answer 1

 user.fetch().then(function(fetchedUser){ var name = fetchedUser.getUsername(); }, function(error){ //Handle the error }); 

Here the problem is the Parse.User.current() method will return a user object if the user is logged in or registered successfully, but this object will not have all the details of the user object. To get all the properties of an object, you must call the fetch method on the Object user.

Answer 2

to try

 var user = Parse.User.current(); var name= user.get("username");
