Create custom endpoint for Users

handler not found “userspermissions.suggestedusers”

Keep in mind, that first part of the handler is the Filename. You mentioned that you created a Users.js file with controller suggestedusers, but from routes you are accessing the userpermissions.js file, so it doesn’t contain your custom controller suggestedusers.

Look at the screenshot bellow:

To achieve your needs:

1. Create the controller file /extensions/users-permissions/controllers/custom.js:

module.exports = {
  suggestedUsers: async (ctx, next) => {
    console.log('/suggested-users accessed.');
    await next();
  }
};

2. Create the route file extensions/users-permissions/config/routes.json:

{
  "routes": [
    {
      "method": "GET",
      "path": "/suggested-users",
      "handler": "custom.suggestedUsers",
      "config": {
        "policies": []
      }
    }
  ]
}

3. Make the route public or accessible only for authenticated.
4. Profit:
