Forum How to see user properties?

posted 8 years ago

When a user is logged in, I bet Laravel has a clever way of showing whats in the database row for the specific user-id, yea?

For example, if email address luciannakarell@gmail.com is logged in, how do I extract the user id and the location, if the rows for the information is id and location?

Is it like

$userId = Auth::user->id();

$userLocation = Auth::user->location();

What auth classes do I need to namespace in, and where in the documentation can I read about it?

Try Auth::user()['id'] or Auth::user()['user_id']

Just get rid of those brackets. id or location are properties that you can return, not some methods.

$userId = Auth::user()->id;

$userLocation = Auth::user()->location;

Althought I'd suggest you to always use helper function if there is one available. In this case you can use **auth()**function like this:

$userId = auth()->user()->id;

$userLocation = auth()->user()->location;

And how do I receive userId in the controller?

# requires login
Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function(){

	# create customer
	Route::post('/createcustomer', [
		'uses' => 'ChannelCustomer@createCustomer',
		'as' => 'createCustomer',
		'userId' => Auth::user()->id
	]);
});
