user_find_id: Find Unique 'user_id', Creating One If Necessary

In personalscience/taster: Personal Science CGM Analysis Web App

Description

Intended to be called after someone has firebase credentials, either because they are an existing user who is logging in again, or because they are a brand new user. Either way, this function will return a list that can uniquely identify what we know about that user. Besides a unique 'user_id', the list will include items for the first name, last name, firebase id, and other information.

Ultimately this function should return a user object, though in this version it returns a list.

Usage

user_find_id(con, user)

Arguments

con	valid database connection
user	list containing information needed to set up a new user (either 'user_id', or'firebase_id')

Value

List that can uniquely identify the user, including new 'user_id' if necessary. NULL means none found.

Examples

#con <- db_connection()
me <- list(user_id = 1234, first_name = "Richard",
 last_name = "Sprague",
 firebase_id = "769d1YgcNfTy4rQlxTuMqWR0b3t2")
u = list(first_name = "a",
         last_name = "z",
         user_id = NULL,
         firebase_id = "a1")

#user_find_id(con, u)
