Get user id in ASP.NET Core 2

Question

I\'m trying to get the user id in an ASP.NET Core 2.1 MVC project.

However, I was only able to get the email. I\'m almost sure there has to be a 1/2 line way to get

Answer 1

You need to inject dependency in the controller like shown below:

[Authorize]
public class AccountController: Controller
{
private readonly UserManager _userManager;

    public AccountController(UserManager userManager) 
    {
        _userManager = userManager;
    }
}

Now, you can use below code anywhere inside that controller to get user details.

var user = await _userManager.FindByEmailAsync(model.EmailID);

Now, You can use user.Id to get userId.
