Well auth()->user() returns null when no user is logged in. Also, you can't access the current logged in user in the constructor of the controller.

Can you show your code?

namespace App\Http\Resources\product;
use App\favorite;
use Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\JsonResource;
class filtterProductOptionsResource extends JsonResource
{
public function toArray($request)
{



    $product = $this->product;

    $brand = $product->brand;

    $category = $product->category;

    $favorite = 0;

    if(Auth()->check()){
        $favorite = favorite::where('product_id', $product->id)->where('user_id', Auth()->user()->id)->count();
    }


    $media = $this->products_media;

    $discount = $product->discount;



    return [

        'id'         => $product->id,

        'name'       => request()->lang == 'ar'? $product->name_ar : $product->name_en,

        'brand'      => !empty($brand) > 0? $brand->name_en: '',
        
        'category'   => !empty($category) > 0? $category->name_en: '',
        
        'price'      => (number_format($this->price ?? 0,3)) ?? '--',

        'status'     => $this->status ?? "",
        
        'stockStatus'=> $product->product_option->sum('quantity') > 0 ? 1 : 0,
        
        'isFavorite' => $favorite ?? 0,
        
        'discount'   => $discount->count() > 0 ? $discount->last()->discount : 0,
        
        'image'      => isset($media->media_path)? url('/') . $media->first()->media_path : '' ?? '',
        
        
    ];
}

}

Auth is a facade, so you can't do Auth()->check() or Auth()->user().

Instead, you have to make it like this: Auth::check() or Auth::user().

Or with helper you can use auth()->user().

In other words you need to use :: with facades not ->
