how to retrieve user info using laravel auth sanctum API - laravel

Question

I'm currently developing a mobile apps for my web based system. I'm using laravel as my API .
Currently, I want to do where when User A login, it will only shown User A info.
How can I achieve that ?
This is my AuthController where it generate my tokens.
public function login(Request $request)
{
try {
$validateUser = Validator::make($request->all(),
[
'username' => 'required',
'password' => 'required'
]);
if($validateUser->fails()){
return response()->json([
'status' => false,
'message' => 'validation error',
'errors' => $validateUser->errors()
], 401);
}
$user = UserRegister::where('username', $request->username)->first();
if(!$user || !Hash::check($request['password'], $user->password)) {
return response([
'message' => 'Username & Password does not match'
], 401);
}
return response()->json([
'status' => true,
'message' => 'User Logged In Successfully',
'user' => $user,
'token' => $user->createToken("remember_token")->plainTextToken
], 200);
} catch (\Throwable $th) {
return response()->json([
'status' => false,
'message' => $th->getMessage()
], 500);
}
}
This is my api routes
Route::post('/login', [AuthController::class, 'login']);
// Homepage routes
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth:sanctum']], function () {
Route::post('/logout', [AuthController::class, 'logout']);
Route::get('/technician', [HomepageController::class, 'technician']);
});
Route::middleware('auth:api')->get('/user', function (Request $request) {
return $request->user();
});
and this is my HomepageController where I tried to retrieve user A data only but it does not work.
public function technician()
{
$technician=JobRegister::where('job_assign', auth()->user()->name);
return response()->json($technician);
}
This is my query for web based system.
$query = "SELECT * FROM job_register WHERE job_assign ='{$_SESSION['username']}'"
i want to make user A can only look at their job details that been assign.
do you have any idea how to do it ? your help is much appreciated. thank you.

Answer 1

try this
$username=Auth()->user()->userName //this will return you username of logged in user
$query = "SELECT * FROM job_register WHERE job_assign ='$username'"
don't forget to use auth namespace top of in your controller like this
use Auth;
