Laravel: Auth::user()->id trying to get a property of a non-object

Question

I\'m getting the following error \"trying to get a property of a non-object\" when I submit a form to add a user, the error is apparently on the first line: Auth::user()->id

Answer 1

The first check user logged in and then

if (Auth::check()){
    //get id of logged in user
    {{ Auth::getUser()->id}}

    //get the name of logged in user
    {{ Auth::getUser()->name }}
}
