Using the JavaScript API

In this section, we will explore some useful client-side APIs of ABP Framework. Some of these APIs provide simple ways to use server-side defined features such as authentication and localization, while others provide solutions for common UI patterns, such as message boxes and notifications.

All the client-side JavaScript APIs are global objects and functions that are declared under the abp namespace. Let's begin with accessing the current user's information in your JavaScript code.
