Symfony2: How to get user Object inside controller when using FOSUserBundle?

Question

I\'m using FOSUserBundle to authenticate my users.

I\'m trying to get the user object inside the Controller to register a trip where I should add the user object to

Answer 1

Solution:

$userManager = $this->container->get('fos_user.user_manager');
$user = $userManager->findUserByUsername($this->container->get('security.context')
                    ->getToken()
                    ->getUser())

Answer 2

In FOSUser 1.3 you can't call directly $this->getUser in SecurityController.

You have to call $this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();

And this is enough to access the user object. No need to call $user = $em->getRepository('SiteUtilisateurBundle:Utilisateur')->find($username);

Furthermore your find method automatically and implicitly cast your initial $username object to string because it doesn't wait an object as argument.
