Single Action Controllers ( __invoke() ) constructor not authenticating session

Description:

Not sure if I missed something, if it's by design or a bug.

Steps To Reproduce:

class TestController extends ApiController
{
    public function __construct(Request $request)
    {
        dd($request->user()); // null;
    }

    public function __invoke(Request $request)
    {
        dd($request->user()); // App\User;
    }
}

How do i get the signed in user in the constructor?

It's by design since the session hasn't been loaded yet. Here's a workaround using the middleware helper method.

public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware(function ($request, $next) {
        $request->user(); // your logic here...

        return $next($request);
    });
}
