Is it possible to get Auth::user in lumen?

Question

I'm trying to make a login screen in my app. But it seems impossible to do it in lumen!

These example would work in laravel, but wont in lumen:

login:

// Not working
Auth::login($user);

getting auth user:

if(Auth::check()){
  $user = Auth::user();
}

Above example seems impossible to do in lumen, if there's a way to do that please show me! Thank you

Answer 1

Source: https://lumen.laravel.com/docs/5.8/authentication

   Note: If you would like to use Auth::user() to access the currently authenticated user, 
   you should uncomment the $app->withFacades() method in your bootstrap/app.php file.

   Note: Before using Lumen's authentication features, you should uncomment the call to 
   register the AuthServiceProvider service provider in your bootstrap/app.php file.

Answer 2

There could be multiple reasons why this is "not working".

Did you import Auth at the beginning of the file?

use Auth;

Uncomment (remove // from) the following line in bootstrap/app.php :

// $app->register(App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider::class);

Also if you have user's credentials, try using Auth::attempt() :

if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password]))
        {
            return redirect()->intended('dashboard');
        }

Try posting some error messages in you question, if there are any. That would take out the guessing part.
