Jeez, did you at least check the documentation before asking that question? – Hydrotropism

Answer 1

The laravel Auth Facade is used to get the autheticated user data as

$user = Auth::user();
print_r($user);

This will work in your controller and view both, but you have to include it as

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

Just use the helper function you won't need to instantiate or import any class.

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

then dd($user); you'll have a full data on user.

you can then pull what you want.

$user->name

etc...

This should work

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

// Get the currently authenticated user...

Laravel has helpler for that. u can use auth() anywhere. for example:

auth()->user()->name

or check if not authentificated:

if(! auth()->user()){}

Answer 5

You can access the user in any controller using

$user = Auth::user();

You should then be able to get details of the user by doing things like

$user_id = $user->id; //or Auth::user()->id;
$user_email = $user->email; // or Auth::user()->email;

See more details here https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/authentication#retrieving-the-authenticated-user

Answer 7

Use the facade

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

And

$user = Auth::user();

NOTE: You can call specific column in this library like $user = Auth::user()->name; or ->address etc.

$user = Auth::user();

You could get the current user into the user variable.

Answer 9

For authentication purpose we can use middleware in controller given as below

public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('auth');
    
}

Then write in your function $user = Auth::user();

This worked, but on blade.php :

@auth
    <form action="/registration" method="post" enctype=multipart/form-data>
        @csrf
      <div class="form-floating">
        <input id="email" name="email" type="email" placeholder="Email" value="{{ auth()->user()->email }}" readonly>
      </div>
    </form>
@endauth
