Use Authentication into Cell

[JessyLELIEVRE]

Hello,

I'm contacting you to let you know that I'd like to be able to use and browse authentication information in the "component" way in Cells.

Do you have a temporary idea for how to do this? *

Thank you,

I'm contacting you to let you know that I'd like to be able to use and browse authentication information in the "component" way in Cells.

You can access the authentication service via the request attribute request->getAttribute('authentication') and the current identity is available on request->getAttribute('identity').

I'm interested in what kind of scenarios you need the component to be available in a cell for.

Hello,

I'd like to use the identity component to retrieve user information from a cell.

My user has a side navigation bar. It contains information such as username, e-mail address and number of credits (virtual currencies). When my player makes a purchase, I take care to update the player session, as I don't want to perform a SQL query simply and solely to retrieve the information (except during the purchase for security checks).

That's why I want to be able to use the identity component from a cell.

Thank you in advance,

Could you use the IdentityHelper for that?

Hello,

Yep. I can. But that doesn't resolve my use case.

A simple example of the use case I'd like:

public function userCard(string $userAvatar = null) { $user = $this->fetchTable('Users')->get([...], select: ['Users.id','Users.username','Users.credits']); $this->set(compact('user', 'userAvatar')); }

Thank you in advance,

@JessyLELIEVRE As already stated by markstory in his initial comment you can get the user identity from the request instance $this->request->getAttribute('identity').

Hello,

All right, I'll do it this way.

Thank you so much,
