FOS UserBundle and getting user

Question

i'm a new Symfony2 developer, i'm using fos UserBundle to manage users and authentication. i need to get the logged in user somewhere in my application (in another Bundle , not in the one in wish i implemented the FOS UserBUndle) i found in the documentation that i should use this service:

$this->get('security.token_storage')->getToken()->getUser();

but it seems that the 'security.token_storage' was not recognized. did i miss some use statements ?

Answer 1

The way I do it is using the 'security.context' service like this :

$user = $this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();

Or even easier:

$user = $this->getUser();

Answer 2

i found the solution : i used this manipulation in a service or it shouldn't be. so i move it to the controller and then it works
