Laravel: Auth::user()->id trying to get a property of a non-object

Question

I\'m getting the following error \"trying to get a property of a non-object\" when I submit a form to add a user, the error is apparently on the first line: Auth::user()->id

Answer 1

Now with laravel 4.2 it is easy to get user's id:

$userId = Auth::id();

that is all.

But to retrieve user's data other than id, you use:

$email = Auth::user()->email;
