getCurrentUserGroups

Fetches the current Nextcloud user's group memberships from the OCS API (/cloud/users/{userId}/groups). Result is cached per-session so repeated calls do not hit the API again.

Signature​

import { getCurrentUserGroups } from '@conduction/nextcloud-vue'

const groups = await getCurrentUserGroups()
// ['admin', 'KCC', 'finance']

Returns​

Promise<string[]> — array of group IDs the current user belongs to. Returns [] when:

  • There is no logged-in user (getCurrentUserId returns null).
  • The OCS request fails (the error is logged to console, not thrown).

Caching​

The module keeps an in-memory cache keyed by user ID:

  • First call kicks off an axios GET to the OCS endpoint and stores the promise.
  • Concurrent callers in the same tick await the same in-flight promise (no duplicate requests).
  • Subsequent calls after resolution return the cached array directly.

The cache can be cleared with resetVisibilityCache — useful in tests or when the user context changes without a page reload.
