Update user using ts SDK but the username is removed

altear147

Hello guys,

I developed the auth application using TS and fusionauth ts client SDK,

I need to use a function update user like this

const result = await this.fusionAuthService.editUser(body.userId, {
email: body.email,
firstName: body.firstName,
lastName: body.lastName,
mobilePhone: body.mobilePhone,
});

after that U check on the fusionauth dashboard, the data was updated but the username and lastLoginInstant is removed from the user so I cannot login with that user.

lib version is "@fusionauth/typescript-client": "^1.48.0"

Thank you for your help.

@altear147 I encountered this behavior today when I tried to update the username for a user:

await getFusionAuthClient(tenantId).updateUser(userId, {
    user: {
      username,
    },
  });

To my surprise (but probably only the lack of knowledge), this set theusername of the user as specified but also deleted the email just as you described.

I was thinking, okay, let's move on and don't touch username and specify firstName as the only key for the update:

await getFusionAuthClient(tenantId).updateUser(userId, {
    user: {
      firstName,
    },
  });

but then I received this error:

Which I also didn't expect, since I assumed the userId uniquely identifies a user and I don't have to supply more fields to help FusionAuth identify it.

After supplying the exact same things as you did:

await getFusionAuthClient(tenantId).updateUser(userId, {
    user: {
      email: email as string,
      firstName: firstName as string,
      lastName: lastName as string,
      mobilePhone: mobilePhone as string,
    },
  });

my user object is getting updated. To clarify, the email input is disabled on my form, and users can only enter first name, last name, and mobile phone.

Hope this helps.
