How to access user groups from a laravel controller?

[shainanand]

I am trying to get user groups from Laravel Controller. Is there any sample code that I can refer to?

What do you want them for?

For access control use the group codes like this (https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/authoriza ... er-helpers):

Code: Select all

$this->authorize( 'admin', [get_class($this), ['admin', 'editor']] );

That works because of these lines: https://github.com/aimeos/aimeos-larave ... entication

The group IDs are available in the context:

Code: Select all

$groupIds = app( 'aimeos.context' )->get()->groups()

You can get the user group items like this:

Code: Select all

$user = Aimeos\Shop\Facades\Customer::uses( ['customer/group'] )->get()
$groups = $user->getRefItems( 'customer/group' );

Alternatively using the customer frontend controller:

Code: Select all

$user = \Aimeos\Controller\Frontend::create( app( 'aimeos.context' )->get(), 'customer' )
	->uses( ['customer/group'] )->get()
$groups = $user->getRefItems( 'customer/group' );

Thank you

Tried the code today and groups was returning empty. This is the printed $user variable. Any missing configuration?

I used this one

Code: Select all

$user = \Aimeos\Controller\Frontend::create( app( 'aimeos.context' )->get(), 'customer' )
	->uses( ['customer/group'] )->get()
$groups = $user->getRefItems( 'customer/group' );

Remember that you must be logged in to retrieve the user and his groups.
According to your screenshot, this isn't the case.
