As a quick update to the previous article explaining how to set up JWT and Identity I've updated the currentUser method to use dependency injection.
namespace Craidd.Extensions {
public static class IHttpContextAccessorExtension
{
public static async Task<User> CurrentUser(this IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor)
{
IUsersService users = httpContextAccessor.HttpContext.RequestServices.GetService(typeof(IUsersService)) as IUsersService;
return await users.UserManager.GetUserAsync(httpContextAccessor.HttpContext.User);
}
}
}
In my case, IUsersService is a wrapper that contains dbContext, UserManager and SignInManager.
namespace Craidd.Services
{
public class UsersService: IUsersService
{
private readonly AppDbContext _dbContext;
private readonly UserManager<User> _userManager;
private readonly SignInManager<User> _signInManager;
public UsersService(
AppDbContext context,
UserManager<User> userManager,
SignInManager<User> signInManager
)
{
_dbContext = context;
_userManager = userManager;
_signInManager = signInManager;
}
public UserManager<User> UserManager => _userManager;
public SignInManager<User> SignInManager => _signInManager;
}
}
Now in your controller you can easily access the method by injecting httpContext.
I'm currently using it to quickly return the logged in user data for the Nuxt.js Auth Module
[HttpGet]
public IActionResult Index()
{
return Json(new { user = _httpContext.CurrentUser() });
}
