Notes: Jira ticket

It would be useful for plugins to be able to get a list of ChannelMembers and TeamMembers for a specific user. This could be used to page through all the channels/teams a user is on.

Add the following plugin API methods

• GetTeamMembersForUser(userId string, page int, perPage int) ([]*model.TeamMember, *model.AppError)
• GetChannelMembersForUser(teamId string, userId string, page int, perPage int) ([]*model.ChannelMember, *model.AppError)

You may need to modify or add some app and store package functions to handle the paging.

Read about adding to the plugin API here https://developers.mattermost.com/contribute/server/plugins/.

You'll want to look at these files:

• https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/blob/master/plugin/api.go
• https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-server/blob/master/app/plugin_api.go

If you have any questions or would like feedback, feel free to ask in the Developer Toolkit channel on our Mattermost community instance.

I can take this.

Thanks @gupsho! :+1:

@hanzei, @jwilander just to confirm,
GetTeamMembersForUser would return all TeamMembers for a user across all the teams that user is on?
and
GetChannelMembersForUser would return all ChannelMembers for a user across all the channels user is on for a particular team?

[jwilander]

That's correct @gupsho 👍

Hey @gupsho,

just want to check if you have any questions?

[gupsho]

Not right now. Still working on it. Will have PR out soon. Thanks for checking.
