What is the best way to get current user in CustomBoard

Eugene commented on Nov 11

Hi, how to get user information?

I found this $this->board()->app()->user() in one of the topics but it does not work in my CustomBoard (in the class that extends CustomBoard) $this->app()->user() does not work as well

I use User::createFromSession()) to get user now but I am not sure is it correct or not.

Inside the class extended from CustomBoard, you should use $this->app()->user() asCustomBoard is actually derived from Dashboard class. Inside the view of CustomBoard, you use $this->board()->app()->user(). Since you said that it does not work, please post me some code so that I can try to replicate the case.

Thanks for so fast answer.

Regarding your question.

I try to use $this->app()->user() in onCreated() method. I think this is the reason why it does not work.

Please suggest where better to prepare parameters for my view?

I think onRendering is a correct place... and $this->app()->user() should work there

Let try on onInit() to see how. Also if you call the function inside action of CustomBoard, it will work.

onRendering is also fine, onCreated happned when CustomBoard is created but have not been linked to App class. After the onInit then you can access to Application class and the user.
