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

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

In class:

protected $user;

This code it`s works for me

In construct:

$this->user = User::find(Auth::user()->id);

In function:
$this->user->id;
$this->user->email;

etc..

Answer 2

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();

Answer 3

You can try :

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

Answer 4

In Laravel 5.6 I use

use Auth;
$user_id = Auth::user()->id;

as the other suggestion

Auth::id()

seems to apply to older versions of Laravel 5.x and didn't work for me.

Answer 5

It's working with me :

echo Auth::guard('guard_name')->user()->id;

Answer 6

If anyone is looking for laravel 5 >

 Auth::id() 

give id of the authorized user
