Pass Object through Routes

1

I am using Slim framework With parse server php SDK

I want to pass current user object after user login the parse server How I can retrieve this object in any routes in Slim $app? So I can identify the user

I would do that with Middleware. It might look something like this.

<?php

use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;

/**
 * Example middleware to attach user to the Request Object
 *
 * @param  \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface $request  PSR7 request
 * @param  \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface      $response PSR7 response
 * @param  callable                                 $next     Next middleware
 *
 * @return \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface
 */
public function __invoke(Request $request, Response $response, $next) {
    $user = 'user'; // user object here instead of 'user'
    $request = $request->withAttribute('user', $user);

    $response = $next($request, $response);

    return $response;
};

Then the user object becomes part of the request object which will be passed along to any controller or action classes you may have.

This can work But,if I use this i need to login in parse server every request to get the current user object ?

Yes, but there are other options. I will add the user object (or a portion thereof) to the session to avoid trips back to the database. That could work for you as well.

starting the session in the top of index.php file solve the problem
I can now access the Current user object from parse server php sdk

Thanks :relaxed:
