I am using Symfony 3.4 and LexikJWTAuthenticationBundle 2.4. Do you know how to retrieve the user that is accessing the API endpoint?

Normally, I would call $user = $this->get('security.token_storage')->getToken()->getUser(); but that doesn't seem to work in this case.

  • You should be able to just type hint the current user in the controller `public function someAction(UserInterface $user)` if it doesn't work do you get any errors? If nothing helps I'd try going over the configuration steps for LexikJWT again – JimL Jan 07 '18 at 00:24

Advice for you, use container key in controller.

Of course, it's better to send the your error here!

Symfony 4

protected function getCurrentUser()
    {

        if (!$this->container->has('security.token_storage')) {
            throw new \LogicException('The Security Bundle is not registered in your application.');
        }
        if (null === $token = $this->container->get('security.token_storage')->getToken()) {
            return;
        }
        if (!is_object($user = $token->getUser())) {
            // e.g. anonymous authentication
            return;
        }
        return $user;
    }

I was having the same issue, you can get Id of current user by using : 

$current_user = $this->getUser();

$id = $current_user->getId();

Inside your controller.
