Get all the users except current logged in user in laravel eloquent

Question

I am doing:

    User::all(); 

to get all the users from users table. I want to select all the users except current logged in user. How should I do that? something like,

    User::where('id','!=',$currentUser->id)->get(); 

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Using except() will accomplish the same thing a little more fluently:

$users = User::all()->except(Auth::id()); 

...or, since you already have the User id:

$users = User::all()->except($currentUser->id); 

Answer 2

You can get the current user's id with auth()->id(). Then pass that to the query:

$users = User::where('id', '!=', auth()->id())->get();
