How to get current user?

[Mahdi Jaberzadeh Ansari]

Is there any API that we could get the current user anywhere?

Hi. Not sure what you mean by anywhere. You can create any API and pass the current user context.
Read about AuthenticationPrincipal here.

In the current codebase, there's a @CurrentUser annotation that we use to obtain the current user. It simply is a wrapper over the AuthenticationPrincipal. You can check the usage in UserController#me API

I found this way also:

import org.springframework.security.core.context.SecurityContextHolder;

// Extract current user
private CustomUserDetails getCurrentUser() {
	Object principal = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication().getPrincipal();
	CustomUserDetails customUserDetails = null;
	if (principal instanceof CustomUserDetails) {
		customUserDetails = (CustomUserDetails) principal;
	}
	return customUserDetails;
}
