I'm trying to call the id of my user in my controllers for my frontend. In the backoffice Auth::id() works like a charm, but when I try to call it in the controllers for my backoffice I get an error that my user_id cannot be null. Meaning that Auth::id() doesn't seem to work. So it seems like Laravel only recognises a signed in user in the backoffice and I don't know why.
This is the store function of my controller for my frontend:
public function store(Request $request)
{
$optionElection = new OptionElection();
//this returns null
$optionElection->user_id = Auth::id();
// this also returns null
$optionElection->option = Auth::name();
$optionElection->votes = 0;
$optionElection->election_id = $request['election_id'];
$optionElection->accepted = 0;
if ($optionElection->save()) {
return response()
->json($optionElection);
}
}
When I tried to store I always checked that I'm logged in in the backoffice with Laravel Auth.
