How to get Authenticated User in controller?

[Martijn-Bos]

I'm sending an incoming request on an API endpoint with valid jwt token. I'd like to get the attached User class in the controller or later in the process. How to do this?

How do I here get the user entity connected to that token?

In your controller, you can use $this->getUser().

Or you can inject security service like the doc said so: https://symfony.com/doc/current/security.html#fetching-the-user-from-a-service

$this->getUser() in controller returns an empty array.

class ParentCollectionController extends AbstractController
{
    private $security;

    public function __construct(Security $security)
    {
        // Avoid calling getUser() in the constructor: auth may not
        // be complete yet. Instead, store the entire Security object.
        $this->security = $security;
    }

    #[Route('/api/collection', name: 'app_parent_collection')]
    public function index(): Response
    {

        return $this->json($this->security->getToken());
    }

Either $this->security->getUser() or $this->security->getToken() returns an empty array.

Seems like your route is not under authentication, more like a public_access to me.

Can you check your security.yaml to make sure the route you access is under authenticate protection?
