Can I get the current users id from a session?

I'm making a quiz site and each user has many quizzes and each quiz has many questions i Have one form which I fill out the title,intro,image of the quiz and send it to quizcontroller which creates a new quiz row in the quiz table but each quiz needs a user_id and I'm not sure of the 'best' way to get it in order to save it to the DB(SQL)

Couldn't you just pass the user to the controller and do

Auth::user()->id

Assuming you want just the id;

$request->user()->id;


Auth::user()->id;


//or just


Auth::id;
