Hi guys,
I am using vue.js to return values to be saved through my recipient resource and I would like to save it along with my user_id using Auth::user()->id;
Unfortunately I always get 0 in my user_id because I cannot access Auth::user()->id in my recipient controller :( any ideas ?
api.php
Auth::routes();
//list recipients
Route::get('recipients', 'RecipientsController@index');
// list single recipient
Route::get('recipient/{id}', 'RecipientsController@show');
//create recipient
Route::post('recipient', 'RecipientsController@store');
//update recipient
Route::put('recipient', 'RecipientsController@store');
//delete recipient
Route::delete('recipient/{id}', 'RecipientsController@destroy');
RecipientsController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use app\Http\Requests;
use App\Recipient;
use App\Http\Resources\Recipient as RecipientResource;
public function store(Request $request)
{
$recipient = $request->isMethod('put') ? Recipient::findOrFail($request->recipient_id) : new Recipient;
$recipient->id = $request->input('recepient_id');
$recipient->firstName = $request->input('firstName');
$recipient->lastName = $request->input('lastName');
$recipient->mobile = $request->input('mobile');
$recipient->address_1 = $request->input('address_1');
$recipient->address_2 = $request->input('address_2');
$recipient->city = $request->input('city');
$recipient->state = $request->input('state');
$recipient->postcode = $request->input('postcode');
if (Auth::check()) {
$recipient->user_id = Auth::user()->id;
} else {
$recipient->user_id = 0;
}
if($recipient->save()) {
return new RecipientResource($recipient);
}
}
