Get Author (Created By) via JS

[becca]

I’m sure this is answered somewhere but I can’t find it, how can you get an item’s author via JS? I tried all the varieties of getFieldValue field names I can think of for Created By but I’m guessing since it isn’t a proper field I need some kind of get context instead. I know this can be done via rules but I personally don’t like to use rules, I code all my logic so it’s easier to follow. (this is in edit so Created By is already set)

nvm, found it in some of my ancient notes, if anyone else needs this solution it’s
if (parseInt(spjs.dffs.beforeProperties.Author_ID)==parseInt(user.ID)){/*code*/}
