The Charitable_User class allows you to get access to information about a particular user.

Charitable_User is a sub-class of WP_User.

Getting an instance of Charitable_User

Given a user ID, you can retrieve a Charitable_User instance in one of two ways:

$user_id = 123;

// Get instance from cache
$user = charitable_get_user( $user_id );

// Direct instantiation
$user = new Charitable_User( $user_id );

The advantage of using charitable_get_user is that it uses the object cache to retain the instance of Charitable_User.
