How to get the currently logged in user's user id in Django?
First make sure you have SessionMiddleware and AuthenticationMiddleware middlewares added to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting.
The current user is in request object, you can get it by:
def sample_view(request): current_user = request.user print current_user.idrequest.user will give you a User object representing the currently logged-in user. If a user isn't currently logged in, request.user will be set to an instance of AnonymousUser. You can tell them apart with the field is_authenticated, like so:
if request.user.is_authenticated: # Do something for authenticated users.else: # Do something for anonymous users.
You can access Current logged in user by using the following code:
request.user.id
Assuming you are referring to Django's Auth User, in your view:
def game(request): user = request.user gta = Game.objects.create(name="gta", owner=user)
