SharePoint 2013 JSOM User Key From Person Field
11,847
Ok, I've got it.
Here is my code, hope it helps somebody. I haven't included the method to retrieve the list item, just the line from that function where I'm getting the value of the person.
var _lineManager;
var lineManager = oListItem.get_item("RecruitingManager").get_lookupId();
_lineManager = oWebsite.getUserById(lineManager);
getLineManager();
function getLineManager() {
context.load(_lineManager);
context.executeQueryAsync(onGetUserNameSuccessLM, onGetUserNameFailLM);
}
function onGetUserNameSuccessLM() {
alert(lineManager.get_title());
var schema = {};
schema['PrincipalAccountType'] = 'User,DL,SecGroup,SPGroup';
schema['SearchPrincipalSource'] = 15;
schema['ResolvePrincipalSource'] = 15;
schema['AllowMultipleValues'] = false;
schema['MaximumEntitySuggestions'] = 50;
schema['Width'] = '280px';
var users = new Array(1);
var defaultUser = new Object();
defaultUser.AutoFillDisplayText = lineManager.get_title();
defaultUser.AutoFillKey = lineManager.get_loginName();
defaultUser.Description = lineManager.get_email();
defaultUser.DisplayText = lineManager.get_title();
defaultUser.EntityType = "User";
defaultUser.IsResolved = true;
defaultUser.Key = lineManager.get_loginName();
defaultUser.Resolved = true;
users[0] = defaultUser;
SPClientPeoplePicker_InitStandaloneControlWrapper('peoplePickerDivLinMan', users, schema);
}
function onGetUserNameFailLM(sender, args) {
alert('Failed to get user name. Error:' + args.get_message());
}

Can anyone help me to get the user info from a person column using javascript? So far I have been able to read the list item and return a SP.FieldUserValue from which I can get a numeric Id (not sure what this ID is) and the display name. e.g.
var ManVal = oListItem.get_item("RecruitingManager").get_lookupValue(); var ManId = oListItem.get_item("RecruitingManager").get_lookupId();
How do I take this one step further to create a sp user object?
Ultimately what I'm trying to achieve is to retrieve the details from the list and then populate a people editor.
