Value of pointer in Parse.com javascript

Question

I have a pointer in one of my Parse.com datastore objects. I need to extract the objectId from it. This is the json Customer object in my cloud code:

"Customer":{"__type":"Pointer","className":"_User","objectId":"oowk8Vgcyg"},

I tried

var customer = request.object.get("Customer")

This prints out [object Object].

Now how do I get the objectId from it? I tried

customer.objectId

or

customer[objectId]

or

customer["objectId"]

or the various with or without quotes

customer.get(objectId)

but none works. What's the correct syntax?

What is the result of console.log(request.object.get("Customer"))? — howderek

Try using customer.id

The Parse object looks different than the JSON you send.

It comes as undefined.

The correct syntax is customer.id; I found it in the link you provided so if you add this to your answer I'll gladly accept it.

You can get it like this.

For example I want to get the objectId of the class User that has a pointer from another class

var userId = object.get('User').id;

hope it helps.
