To check the current user in Laravel, you can use the auth helper function or the Auth facade.
Using the auth helper function:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
if (auth()->check()) {
// User is logged in
$user = auth()->user();
// ... do something with $user
} else {
// User is not logged in
}
|
Using the Auth facade:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
use IlluminateSupportFacadesAuth;
if (Auth::check()) {
// User is logged in
$user = Auth::user();
// ... do something with $user
} else {
// User is not logged in
}
|
In both cases, if the check() method returns true, it means the user is currently logged in. You can then retrieve the user instance using the user() method.
