I'm new to CodeIgniter and I installed the codeigniter4/shield authentication and authorization framework for CodeIgniter 4.

I need the session data of the logged-in User such as username, and email.

How can I get it?

What I've tried so far.

$item = $session->get('item');
$name = $_SESSION['name'];

CodePudding user response：

Solution:

Get logged-in username:

auth()->user()->username;

Get logged-in User email:

auth()->user()->getEmail();

Get the 'date & time' when the logged-in User account was created:

auth()->user()->created_at->toDateTimeString();

Get all logged-in User data.

auth()->user()->toRawArray();

Reference:

Auth Helper

The auth functionality is designed to be used with the auth_helper that comes with Shield. This helper method provides the auth() command which returns a convenient interface to the most frequently used functionality within the auth libraries. This must be loaded before it can be used.

// get the current user
auth()->user();

// get the current user's id
auth()->id();
// or
user_id();
