How to create custom fields programatically while creating new user through API?

[mudivili]

Hey, we create new user automatically using API. We like to add custom fields, while doing so.
With this plugin, I am able to add new custom fields from profile page. How do I do the same while creating user?

Basically, I like to do something like this:

User.create({username: '...', email: '...', fullname: '...', customField: '...'})

and be able to edit that field using nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields plugin.

is that possible?

Thank you!

Hello. There is no explicit API to set a custom field. But you can directly put a record in a database, but there is no guarantee that this approach will work with future updates to the plugin if any.
