Loading members details in a editable form

All of my users have to log in for entering the website. All members details are stored into a Directory DB.
I created a form (attached) for each member to adjust / update their details. When the form loads, I want the existing details of the specific member (who has previously logged in) to load and not the details of some other members.
I guess it is only very few code lines but I cannot figure out which ones when I read all posts and articles already published. Can anybody assist me?
Thanks a lot

This is very similar to what we describe in the new article How to Create Member Profile Pages .

How you do this will depend on what kind of page the form is on. Is it a regular page or a dynamic page?

It is a regular page. Thanks a lot

You can filter the page’s dataset based on the current user.

You get the current user information from the wix-users API . And you filter a dataset using the wix-dataset setFilter( ) function.

Here is what I tried. I identify through the email address and try to filter with it, the email being the only read-only field in the form. But this still does not set the proper details of the logged-in user.

import wixUsers from ‘wix-users’;
import {wixData} from ‘wix-data’;

$w.onReady(function () {

$w(“#dataset1”).setFilter( wixData.Filter() );

$w("#dataset1").onReady( () => { 
	let currentEmail = $w("#dataset1").getCurrentItem().email; 
	wixUsers.currentUser.getEmail() 
		.then( $w("#dataset1").setFilter( wixData.filter()

.contains(“email”))
);

} ); 
} );

Thanks a lot

Okay, you’re getting there. I think what you want is something more like this:

$w("#dataset1").onReady( () => {
  // get the current user's email
  wixUsers.currentUser.getEmail()
    .then( (email) => {
      // set the filter to only show items where "email" field 
      //matches current user's email
      $w("#dataset1").setFilter( 
        wixData.filter()
          .eq("email", email)
      )
    } );
);

All good, thank you very much
