Get user id in ASP.NET Core 2

Question

I\'m trying to get the user id in an ASP.NET Core 2.1 MVC project.

However, I was only able to get the email. I\'m almost sure there has to be a 1/2 line way to get

Answer 1

In Asp.net Core 2.2, I solved this problem with the following piece of code.

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity;
var user = await _userManager.FindByEmailAsync(User.Identity.Name);

This way you will get the user information by his email. User.Identity.Name will provide you the email address of the current logged in user.

I hope this will be useful to someone.
