How to get the current user in PHP

[bandtank]

I can't figure out how to get the current user in PHP. I see a function called getUser in the Espo core files, but I my code is running in a hook, so I need to somehow use dependency injection to get access to the current user object. How can I do this?

I figured it out after finding some old code I wrote:

use Espo\Entities\User;

class NewHook
{
  public function __construct(
    private User $loggedInUser,
  ) {}

  ...

  private function getUserId() {
    return $this->loggedInUser->id;
  }
}​

You should use ->getId() instead of ->id. I highly recommend using IDE that will highlight deprecation usage as well as other issues.

Ok, thanks for the suggestion. I will see if I can figure out how to turn that on in VS Code.
