I tried  to use self.session.uid. But its not working in this file.
And i need to get this without using python function

var session = require('web.session');
user = session.uid

*Important*: js is asyncronous. Make sure, all the data about the session is uploaded to the time when you are trying to retrieve the data. E.g. console.log(session). What is kept there, when you try to get the active user?

In Odoo 12 you can get the current user ID like this
var session = require( 'web.session' );
...
var user = session.uid
console.log( 'user >>>> ' , user)

For version 17 OWL we can go this way :
import { session } from "@web/session";
console.log(session.uid)
