does Auth::user()->id get set?

[thedangler]

how would I get the authenticated user id with this API key approach.

I'm trying to make it so that I can use my REST API internally as well as externally.
when using internally the user will be logged in and I'll set the header( I think) unless there is better way to approach this.

like this?

    $headers = apache_request_headers();
    $api_key = $headers['X-Authorization'];

    $user_id = ApiKey::where('key', $api_key)
        ->pluck('user_id');
    Auth::loginUsingId($user_id);

Hi, that should work, I can write my own middleware to check for the header or logged in user.
Thank you.
