php - Auth::id() returns null laravel

Question

i have a function where

public function index(){
   $users = User::doesntHave('roles')->latest()->paginate()->except(Auth::id());
   return UsersResource::collection($users);
}

when i dd the Auth::id() it returns null even if I declared the auth facade on my controller

use IlluminateSupportFacadesAuth;

this is my route which is stored inside api.php

Route::resource('users','UsersAdminUsersController')->except([
    'create', 'edit'
]);

Answer 1

Add your auth protected routes inside auth:api middleware

Route::post('login','LoginController@login');

Route::middleware(['auth:api'])->group(function () {

    Route::resource('users','UsersAdminUsersController')->except([
    'create', 'edit'
    ]);

    //other authenticated Routes goes inside this block

}); 

For Api authentication i suggest you to look https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/passport
