Problem in getting current_user

[LidorPrototype]

Describe the bug

When trying to get current user I'm getting the error

File ".\main.py", line 788, in tester
    current_user = Depends(FastAPIUsers.current_user())
AttributeError: type object 'FastAPIUsers' has no attribute 'current_user'

The code is:

from fastapi_users import FastAPIUsers
current_user = Depends(FastAPIUsers.current_user())

Expected behavior

I expected to get the current user that sent the request to my FastAPI in any format that is readable

Configuration

• Python version : 3.8.2
• FastAPI version : 0.103.0
• FastAPI Users version : 12.1.2

Additional context

I built the API with FastAPI and I'm trying to find out which is the user that sent the request to me

@LidorPrototype hi,

In the documentation it's saying:

FastAPI Users provides a dependency callable to easily inject authenticated user in your routes. They are available from your FastAPIUsers instance.

So you need to instantiate a FastAPIUsers object and derive current_users from this. Like this:

from fastapi_users import FastAPIUsers
...
fastapi_users = FastAPIUsers[User, PydanticObjectId](get_user_manager, [auth_backend])
current_active_user = fastapi_users.current_user(active=True)

after you can use this variable like this:

async def get_database_meta(database_id: PydanticObjectId, user: User = Depends(current_active_user)):
    return await DatabaseMetadata.find_one(DatabaseMetadata.user == user.id, DatabaseMetadata.id == database_id)

I believe that the examples in the documentation are confusing for users because the variable fastapi_users has the same name as the package.
