Get UserId with UserName without query
Hi guys; Do you guys know how to Get UserId with UserName without query?
The regular way with query in the controller file
public function testing($name)
{
$userId = User::where('name', $name)->first()->id;
}
is there any better way to get the id without the query? Thanks

Is the user the logged in user?
If so then do:
auth()->user()->userName;
Level 17
if you only need id that can be achieved with Auth::id().

Who says that the user in this case is the authenticated user?
Level 1
No, it is not the logged in user
So it is not possible

Not without storing that relationship elsewhere.
What problem are you trying to solve?

I just want to reduce the usage of query if possible
in this case
$userId = User::where('name', $name)->first()->id;
What do you mean by "storing that relationship elsewhere"?
can you give an example of that, using the id and name from the user_table
Level 104
I mean caching
