Injecting ClaimsPrincipal in service layer

[Muchiachio]

Is there a clean way to get ClaimPrincipal or IIdentity from DI? So it can be used in service layers.
This was ugly, but possible with the "good old" HttpContext.Current.User 😄

You can use the IHttpContextAccessor in your services. If you only care about the user I'd suggest wrapping that in another service IUserAccessor or something.

public class UserAccessor : IUserAccessor
{ 
      private IHttpContextAccessor _accessor;
      public UserAccessor(IHttpContextAccessor accessor)
      {
           _accessor = accessor;
      }
      public ClaimsPrincipal User => _accessor. HttpContext.User;
}

Ye, I guess that's doable, thx.
