Question

    $id = User::find(Auth::id());     dd($id); 

but I receive "Null"

Answer 1

You may access the authenticated user via the Auth facade:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;  // Get the currently authenticated user...  $user = Auth::user();  // Get the currently authenticated user's ID...  $id = Auth::id(); 

You may access the authenticated user via an Illuminate\Http\Request

use Illuminate\Http\Request; public function update(Request $request) {      $request->user(); //returns an instance of the authenticated user...      $request->user()->id; // returns authenticated user id.  } 

via the Auth helper function:

auth()->user();  //returns an instance of the authenticated user... auth()->user()->id ; // returns authenticated user id.  

Answer 2

You have to call user() method:

$id = \Auth::user()->id; 

Or, if you want to get only the model:

$user = \Auth::user();
