how to get current user id in laravel 5.4 [duplicate]

You may access the authenticated user via the Auth facade:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;// Get the currently authenticated user...$user = Auth::user();// Get the currently authenticated user's ID...$id = Auth::id();

You may access the authenticated user via an Illuminate\Http\Request

use Illuminate\Http\Request;public function update(Request $request){     $request->user(); //returns an instance of the authenticated user...     $request->user()->id; // returns authenticated user id. }

via the Auth helper function:

auth()->user();  //returns an instance of the authenticated user...auth()->user()->id ; // returns authenticated user id. 

You have to call user() method:

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

Or, if you want to get only the model:

$user = \Auth::user();

Using Helper:

auth()->user()->id ;   // or get name - email - ...

Using Facade:

\Auth::user()->id ;   // or get name - email - ...

Using DI Container:

use Illuminate\Auth\AuthManager;class MyClass{    private $authManager;    public __construct(AuthManager $authManager)    {        $this->authManager = $authManager;    }}
