Laravel current user in model

Question

I need to get Auth::id() in my model to check if current user has voted. How to access to current user in Eloquent Model?

Model: namespace App;

use App\User;
use App\ArticleVote;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Article extends Model {
  protected $fillable = ['title', 'body', 'link'];
  protected $appends = ['votesCount', 'isUserVoted'];

  public function getIsUserVotedAttribute() {
    return !!$this->votes()->where('user_id', \Auth::id())->first();
  }
}

In getIsUserVotedAttribute method I get \Auth::id() of null

If you do it this way, you just have to change \Auth::id() to \Auth::user()->id. Or you can use the following globally without the Auth facade: auth()->user()->id — eResourcesInc

You can use Auth::user() inside the model to get the current user.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

/*
 example code: adjust to your needs.
*/
public function getIsUserVotedAttribute()
{
    $user = Auth::user();
    if($user) {
        // using overtrue/laravelFollow (for this example)
        return $user->isVotedBy($this) // this is just an example, do whatever you wanted to do here
    }
    return false
}

(laravel version 5.7)

If you plan to call the method getIsUserVotedAttribute() after creating an instance of Acticle in a controller like this:

$article = new Article;
$article->getIsUserVotedAttribute();

I suggest that you pass the user id as parameter when defining the method such that

public function getIsUserVotedAttribute($user_id) {
     return !!$this->votes()->where('user_id', $user_id)->first();
}

Then you can use it in your controller like this

$article = new Article;
$article->getIsUserVotedAttribute(Auth::user()->id);

Hope it helps

Unfortunately i cant do like this because I use Transformers to return JSON and my index method in controller looks like this

return $this->response->withPaginator(Article::orderBy('id', 'desc')->paginate(15), new ArticleTransformer,  'articles');
