Send user email through rest services

Question

I made a view, with a contextual filter in the user id. The fields are:

• Name

• uid

• Email.

  [ { "username": "pruthiswebar", "id": "8" } ]

If I am logged, I can see the email, if I go to anonymous user, I can´t. There is not a permission for "show user email" or something? How can I configure this?

Answer 1

To add informations to the view, which are not displaying of whatever reasons - you can hook into the view and "print" the informations manually.

Step 1 Create a custom module (https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/creating-custom-modules) I'm not sure, but probably you can add the preprocess in the MYTHEME.theme-File. Then you do not need your own module for this.

Step 2 Add the preprocess hook (https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21modules%21views%21views.theme.inc/function/template_preprocess_views_view/8.5.x)

MYMODULE_preprocess_view(&$variables) {
    // Todo: check if the view is the view you want to add the user email.
    $user_id = 1; // Change for other users.
    $user = Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('user')->load($user_id);
    $variables['users'][$user_id] = $user;
}

Step 3 In the twig-template of the view you can add the userdata (https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core%21modules%21views%21views.theme.inc/group/views_templates/8.5.x)

{{ dump(users) }}     {# for the user array. #}
{{ dump(users[1]) }}  {# for the user with the id 1 #}
