I developed a laravel API for flutter app. Here's my AuthController and the following are the function. What I want to do is that once I submit the request on postman, it will display the current info of the logged-in user. Currently, I manage to retrieved the info but it instead display the data of the first user in the table instead of the corresponding user that I logged in(in postman). How do I fix this ? Please help

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;

class AuthController extends Controller
{
    public function login(Request $request)
    {
        $fields = $request->validate([
            'email' => 'required|string',
            'password' => 'required|string'
        ]);

        //Check email
        $user = User::where('email', $fields['email'])->first();

        //Check password
        if (!$user || !Hash::check($fields['password'], $user->password)) {
            $result = [];
            $result['status'] = false;
            $result['message'] = "Bad creds";

            return response()->json($result);
        } else {
            $result = [];
            $result['status'] = true;
            $result['message'] = "Login successfully";

            $data = User::first(['staff_id', 'name']);
            $result['data'] = $data;

            return response()->json($result);
        }
    }
}

CodePudding user response：

In your else block the

$data = User::first(['staff_id','name']);

means that it will fetch the first user in your database. Instead of querying again you can use the already declared $user since it is the data that you are looking for.

$data = $user;

How about :

$data = [
    'staff_id' => $user->staff_id,
    'name' => $user->name,
];
