Session.getActiveUser().getEmail() on GAS - web app

I am trying to get the active user email so I can apply rules to each email. As I am doing this as an web app I am unsure how to get that info and paste it into a html page. I tried with this code and it works, but not as I want:

var app = UiApp.createApplication(); app.add(app.createLabel('Effective User: ' + Session.getEffectiveUser().getUserLoginId())); return app;}

As I am unsure how to get it inside a HTML file i am asking for your help.

In your client side javaScript use a function like this to assign a value to the user variable ( in this case I declare it outside of the function to make it global):

var user;

google.script.run.withSuccessHandler(getUserEmail).getUser();
function getUserEmail(userMail){
  user = userMail;
}

and in your .gs file (server side code) write a simple function like below that will send the user email :

function getUser(){
  user = Session.getActiveUser().getEmail();
  return user;
}
