Iḿ using laravel 11, with the breeze starter kit and Livewire (volt class api) with alpine.
In a controller named 'DashboardController' I'm trying to use 'Auth::user' to render a view with the tasks the user has but it doesnt recognize 'user', Ive done it a few times before but never have gotten this error. The weirdest thing is that in the blade file it does recognize Auth::user, so at this point I dont know what else to do, I haven't found anyone else with this problem.
DashboardController
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Container\Attributes\Auth;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as AuthUser;
class DashboardController extends Controller
{
public function index(){
/* $user = Auth::user(); */
$user = Auth::user();
$tasks = Auth::user()->tasks;
return view ('dashboard', compact('tasks'));
}
}
dashboard.blade.php

Reset to default 4You're importing the wrong class.
use Illuminate\Container\Attributes\Auth;
should be
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
for Auth::user()
to work.
The reason why it works in blade is because Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth
is aliased to Auth
when the Blade compiler compiles the views.
The class you're using is a contextual attribute used to resolve a Guard.
The way you use that one is like this. These two blocks are equivalent.
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
// some method that will be resolved by the container, like a controller method
public function someMethod()
{
$guard = Auth::guard('web');
$user = $guard->user();
}
use Illuminate\Container\Attributes\Auth;
// some method that will be resolved by the container, like a controller method
public function someMethod(#[Auth('web')] $guard)
{
$user = $guard->user();
}
Alternatively you can use the Authenticated
contextual attribute in your use case.
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Container\Attributes\Authenticated;
use Illuminate\Contracts\View\View;
class DashboardController extends Controller
{
public function index(#[Authenticated('web')] User $user): View
{
return view('dashboard', [
'tasks' => $user->tasks,
]);
}
}
Here is some documentation on the matter, just the relevant sections.
- Authentication - Retrieving the Authenticated User
- Container - Contextual Attributes
Import the Correct Auth Facade
In DashboardController.php file, replace this incorrect import:
use Illuminate\Container\Attributes\Auth;
with the correct one:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
Then your index() function should be work.
Why did this happen?
You mistakenly imported
Illuminate\Container\Attributes\Auth
, which is not the correct Auth facade.Blade templates (dashboard.blade.php) recognise
Auth::user()
because Blade automatically provides access to facades.However, Controller need the correct namespace
Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth
.
