Laravel 5 want to access auth user id in model

Question

I want to access the currently logged In user ID in the model. So in the model, I have written the codes;

namespace App\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Auth;

and in the method under the model, I used this code: Auth::user()->id However, I receives the error:

Trying to get property of non-object

First you need to check if exists an user logged, then check the id

  if (Auth::check()) {
  //there is a user logged in, now to get the id
     Auth::user()->id
  }

When I use the code in the controller it works, but not in the model. – Niladri Banerjee - Uttarpara May 28 '18 at 10:44

Auth::user() is checking web guard only. You were probably trying this with an API. This will give you the user:

$user = \Auth::user() ?? \Auth::guard("api")->user();

To retrieve the id you must use:

Auth::id()

Other user properties are accessed like you tried

Auth::user()->otherProperties

Works on controller but not in model. – Niladri Banerjee - Uttarpara May 28 '18 at 10:44
Did you implement login/register using **php artisan make:auth** ? Its weird that it's not working on model as you are using use\Auth.. – Pol Lluis May 28 '18 at 10:50
If you post the Model, and the route with the controller of the model I could try to help you figure it out – Pol Lluis May 28 '18 at 10:53
I have not created the model with php artisan. The code for the model is written in my question as above. – Niladri Banerjee - Uttarpara May 28 '18 at 11:02
are you using 'extends Model' on your php class? – Pol Lluis May 28 '18 at 11:05
Yes, class UserPermission extends Model – Niladri Banerjee - Uttarpara May 28 '18 at 11:25
Then if you want more help please provide how you access that method 'route' and also try to debug using Auth::check() – Pol Lluis May 28 '18 at 11:27
for your current route try: Route::get('/your-route', function () { dd(Auth::user()); }); See if that outputs correctly – Pol Lluis May 28 '18 at 11:28
Then it probably means your log in isn't well done. if you add the files regarding that I could provide more help, eventhough as I said before with 'php artisan make:auth' laravel creates the login and registration logic for you, and if you need custom stuff you can tweak it on top of that – Pol Lluis May 28 '18 at 12:37
@NiladriBanerjee-Uttarpara please share your all file code so we can help you. Because as per your above code it's working perfect. – Dwarkesh Soni May 29 '18 at 05:12

 use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

// Get the currently authenticated user...

$user = Auth::user();

// Get the currently authenticated user's ID...

$id = Auth::id();

You have to be logged in to get the current logged user.

Try checking for logged in user before using it

if (Auth::user()) {   // Check is user logged in
           // do stuff

        }

You can get easily logged in user id in model. Try bellow code. It's working perfect.

app('Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Guard')->user()->id;

No actually I called the db method from AppserviceProvider and thus it is not finding the Auth ID, Because Appserviceprovider called before auth loaded. – Niladri Banerjee - Uttarpara May 28 '18 at 13:22
DB and Auth are both different. You can easily get this. I have tried and get this with use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB; – Dwarkesh Soni May 28 '18 at 13:28
