Use Expressions in Aura Sites

With expressions, you can access property values and other information to pass into a component's attributes.

An expression is any set of literal values, variables, subexpressions, or operators that can be resolved to a single value. Method calls aren’t allowed in expressions.

The expression syntax is: {!expression} where expression is a placeholder for the expression.

Use these expressions to display the authenticated user’s information, images associated with data categories, or record information on a site page.

Expression Displays
{!CurrentUser.name} Combined first and last name of the user, as displayed on the user detail page.
{!CurrentUser.firstName} First name of the user, as displayed on the user edit page.
{!CurrentUser.lastName} Last name of the user, as displayed on the user edit page.
{!CurrentUser.userName} Administrative field that defines the user’s login.
{!CurrentUser.id} Salesforce ID of the user.
{!CurrentUser.email} Email address of the user.
{!CurrentUser.communityNickname} Name used to identify the user in a site.
{!CurrentUser.accountId} Account ID associated with the user. This expression displays a valid account ID for partner and customer users. For all others, it displays '000000000000000'.
{!CurrentUser.effectiveAccountId} Account ID associated with the effective account. This expression displays a valid account ID for partner and customer users. For all others, it displays '000000000000000'.
{!Global.PathPrefix}/{!DataCategory.Name}.jpg Image associated with the data category in a search component.
{!Global.PathPrefix}/<Name of the Subfolder>/{!DataCategory.Name}.jpg Image associated with the data category in a subfolder in a search component.
{!recordId} 15-digit record ID on object pages.
