Re: 3.x checking loggedin user in view/template

Thanks for the reply,

I like the fact that you can get the individual values using this method.

So if needed this information to dynamically change a menu for example, I would need to put this into every Controller?, or App Controller to be available everywhere?

What would be the difference between putting this in beforeRender v beforeFilter?

Finally, I have been playing with $this->Session->read('Auth.User.id') in the view itself. What are the pros and cons of this approach?

It seems that there are several possible ways to do it, but what is the RIGHT way?

Thanks

You can set a view variable in AppControler:

public function beforeRender() {
    $this->set('auth', $this->Auth->user());
}

and use it in the view:

if ($auth) {
    echo $auth['username'];
}

In CakePHP 3.x what is the correct way to establish whether the user is logged in via Auth in a view/template?

I found this https://github.com/cakephp/cakephp/issues/3929 which suggests that methods available in 2.x have been removed?

Do I need to check in each and every controller and set something for the view?

Can an example be provided please?

Dave
