I've done this before with MVC5 using User.Identity.GetUserId()
but that doesn't seem to work here.

I am using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity
Until ASP.NET Core 1.0 RC1 :
It's User.GetUserId() from System.Security.Claims namespace.
Since ASP.NET Core 1.0 RC2 :
You now have to use UserManager. You can create a method to get the current user :
private Task<ApplicationUser> GetCurrentUserAsync() => _userManager.GetUserAsync(HttpContext.User);
And get user information with the object :
var user = await GetCurrentUserAsync();
var userId = user?.Id;
string mail = user?.Email;
Note :
You can do it without using a method writing single lines like this string mail = (await _userManager.GetUserAsync(HttpContext.User))?.Email
, but it doesn't respect the single responsibility principle. It's better to isolate the way you get the user because if someday you decide to change your user management system, like use another solution than Identity, it will get painful since you have to review your entire code.
you can get it in your controller:
var userId = this.User.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier);
or write an extension method like before .Core v1.0
using System;
using System.Security.Claims;
namespace Shared.Web.MvcExtensions
{
public static class ClaimsPrincipalExtensions
{
public static string GetUserId(this ClaimsPrincipal principal)
{
if (principal == null)
throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(principal));
return principal.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier)?.Value;
}
}
}
and get wherever user ClaimsPrincipal is available :
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Shared.Web.MvcExtensions;
namespace Web.Site.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public IActionResult Index()
{
return Content(this.User.GetUserId());
}
}
}
I included using System.Security.Claims and I could access the GetUserId() extension method
NB: I had the using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity already but couldn't get the extension method. So I guess both of them have to be used in conjunction with one another
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity;
using System.Security.Claims;
EDIT: This answer is now outdated. Look at Soren's or Adrien's answer for a dated way of achieving this in CORE 1.0
For .NET Core 2.0 Only The following is required to fetch the UserID of the logged-in User in a Controller
class:
var userId = this.User.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier);
or
var userId = HttpContext.User.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier);
e.g.
contact.OwnerID = this.User.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier);
In the Controller:
public class YourControllerNameController : Controller
{
public IActionResult YourMethodName()
{
var userId = User.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier).Value // will give the user's userId
var userName = User.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.Name).Value // will give the user's userName
var userEmail = User.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.Email).Value // will give the user's Email
}
}
In some other class:
public class OtherClass
{
private readonly IHttpContextAccessor _httpContextAccessor;
public OtherClass(IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor)
{
_httpContextAccessor = httpContextAccessor;
}
public void YourMethodName()
{
var userId = _httpContextAccessor.HttpContext.User.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier).Value;
// or
var userId = _httpContextAccessor.HttpContext.User.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier);
}
}
Then you should register IHttpContextAccessor
in the Startup
class as follows:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.TryAddSingleton<IHttpContextAccessor, HttpContextAccessor>();
// Or you can also register as follows
services.AddHttpContextAccessor();
}
As stated somewhere in this post, the GetUserId() method has been moved to the UserManager.
private readonly UserManager<ApplicationUser> _userManager;
public YourController(UserManager<ApplicationUser> userManager)
{
_userManager = userManager;
}
public IActionResult MyAction()
{
var userId = _userManager.GetUserId(HttpContext.User);
var model = GetSomeModelByUserId(userId);
return View(model);
}
If you started an empty project you might need to add the UserManger to your services in startup.cs. Otherwise this should already be the case.
Although Adrien's answer is correct, you can do this all in single line. No need for extra function or mess.
It works I checked it in ASP.NET Core 1.0
var user = await _userManager.GetUserAsync(HttpContext.User);
then you can get other properties of the variable like user.Email
. I hope this helps someone.
For ASP.NET Core 2.0, Entity Framework Core 2.0, AspNetCore.Identity 2.0 api (https://github.com/kkagill/ContosoUniversity-Backend):
The Id
was changed to User.Identity.Name
[Authorize, HttpGet("Profile")]
public async Task<IActionResult> GetProfile()
{
var user = await _userManager.FindByIdAsync(User.Identity.Name);
return Json(new
{
IsAuthenticated = User.Identity.IsAuthenticated,
Id = User.Identity.Name,
Name = $"{user.FirstName} {user.LastName}",
Type = User.Identity.AuthenticationType,
});
}
Response:
you have to import Microsoft.AspNetCore.Identity & System.Security.Claims
// to get current user ID
var userId = User.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier);
// to get current user info
var user = await _userManager.FindByIdAsync(userId);
in the APiController
User.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier).Value
Something like this you will get the claims
User.Identity.GetUserId();
does not exist in asp.net identity core 2.0. in this regard, i have managed in different way. i have created a common class for use whole application, because of getting user information.
create a common class PCommon & interface IPCommon
adding reference using System.Security.Claims
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Security.Claims;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace Common.Web.Helper
{
public class PCommon: IPCommon
{
private readonly IHttpContextAccessor _context;
public PayraCommon(IHttpContextAccessor context)
{
_context = context;
}
public int GetUserId()
{
return Convert.ToInt16(_context.HttpContext.User.FindFirstValue(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier));
}
public string GetUserName()
{
return _context.HttpContext.User.Identity.Name;
}
}
public interface IPCommon
{
int GetUserId();
string GetUserName();
}
}
Here the implementation of common class
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authorization;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Rendering;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;
using Pay.DataManager.Concreate;
using Pay.DataManager.Helper;
using Pay.DataManager.Models;
using Pay.Web.Helper;
using Pay.Web.Models.GeneralViewModels;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace Pay.Controllers
{
[Authorize]
public class BankController : Controller
{
private readonly IUnitOfWork _unitOfWork;
private readonly ILogger _logger;
private readonly IPCommon _iPCommon;
public BankController(IUnitOfWork unitOfWork, IPCommon IPCommon, ILogger logger = null)
{
_unitOfWork = unitOfWork;
_iPCommon = IPCommon;
if (logger != null) { _logger = logger; }
}
public ActionResult Create()
{
BankViewModel _bank = new BankViewModel();
CountryLoad(_bank);
return View();
}
[HttpPost, ActionName("Create")]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> Insert(BankViewModel bankVM)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
CountryLoad(bankVM);
//TempData["show-message"] = Notification.Show(CommonMessage.RequiredFieldError("bank"), "Warning", type: ToastType.Warning);
return View(bankVM);
}
try
{
bankVM.EntryBy = _iPCommon.GetUserId();
var userName = _iPCommon.GetUserName()();
//_unitOfWork.BankRepo.Add(ModelAdapter.ModelMap(new Bank(), bankVM));
//_unitOfWork.Save();
// TempData["show-message"] = Notification.Show(CommonMessage.SaveMessage(), "Success", type: ToastType.Success);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// TempData["show-message"] = Notification.Show(CommonMessage.SaveErrorMessage("bank"), "Error", type: ToastType.Error);
}
return RedirectToAction(nameof(Index));
}
}
}
get userId and name in insert action
_iPCommon.GetUserId();
Thanks, Maksud
If you want this in ASP.NET MVC Controller, use
using Microsoft.AspNet.Identity;
User.Identity.GetUserId();
You need to add using
statement because GetUserId()
won't be there without it.
