My user is authenticated.
To prove it:
axios.get('http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/user')
.then(response => {
console.log(response.data)
})
...and the user info is logged to console as expected.
So experts, please tell me, how can I get Auth::id() on the server side on an ajax post??
Auth::id() returns null. It doesn't make sense that I would pass the user id with the data payload when the user is authenticated.
Every route going through api, by default you need to do
$id = Auth::guard('api')->id; //OR
$user = Auth::guard('api')->user();
if ( $user ) $id = $user->id;
You could do it in one line
$id = Auth::guard('api')->user()->id;
But if the user fails, you will receive Cannot get property id of null
