Fetch A Profile

Fetching a profile involves querying the underlying profile model using GraphQL API through the SDK's GQL service.

We can fetch the profile we just created in the previous tutorial using its DID

1. Let's create another file

touch fetch-profile.ts

2. Open this new file, import the SDK package and assign the graphQL client (from SDK services) to a variable

fetch-profile.ts

import getSDK from "@akashaorg/awf-sdk";

const gqlClient = getSDK().services.gql.client;

3. Similar to steps we took while creating a profile, let's define a function to handle and return the response from the SDK service. The function will have just one parameter which is the DID of the profile we are about to fetch

fetch-profile.ts

import getSDK from "@akashaorg/awf-sdk";

const gqlClient = getSDK().services.gql.client;

const fetchProfileHandler = async (did: string) => {
  try {
    const response = await gqlClient.GetProfileByDid({
      id: did,
    });

    // the profile data is contained in a node
    console.log(response.data?.node);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(`An error occured: ${error.message}`);
  }
};

4. Let's run the function, passing to it the did variable

fetch-profile.ts

import getSDK from "@akashaorg/awf-sdk";

const gqlClient = getSDK().services.gql.client;

const fetchProfileHandler = async (did: string) => {
  try {
    const response = await gqlClient.GetProfileByDid({
      id: did,
    });

    // the profile data is contained in a node
    console.log(response.data?.node);
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(`An error occured: ${error.message}`);
  }
};

fetchProfileHandler(
  "did:pkh:eip155:11155111:0x4f0004b6802eb9b1d4ac21f81bd872a26feb189e"
);

We have just demonstrated how a profile can be fetched using its DID. Feel free to explore the profile data from the response object and build something great
