Get User By ID From Sharepoint List Using Javascript Object Model (JSOM)

In this blog, you will learn how to get user by ID from a SharePoint list using JavaScript Object Model (JSOM).

Step 1: Create or open the list to retrieve the data from and note the list name (Here, it’s Test List).



Step 2: Open Visual Studio and create SharePoint Empty Project. Add Application page to it and add the script file path in PageHead . Add the code, given below, for retrieving the data by ID.

<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/init.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/sp.runtime.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/sp.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var itemID = 2 // Item ID
    function GetUser() {
        var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
        var targetList = context.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('Test List'); //Ur List Name
        targetListtargetListItem = targetList.getItemById(itemID);
        context.load(targetListItem, 'Title');
        context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
    }

    function onQuerySucceeded() {
        alert('Request succeeded. \n\nRetrieved Item is: ' + targetListItem.get_item('Title'));
    }

    function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
        alert('Request failed. \nError: ' + args.get_message() + '\nStackTrace: ' + args.get_stackTrace());
    }
</script>

Step 3: Add a button and write your function name in OnClientClick event for firing the code, given below:



Step 4: Open the Application page in the Browser and click the button for the retrieval of the detail from Test List (created above).



Step 5: See the results. Data is retrieved from the list, using its ID successfully.
