XF 2 Tip Get user_id of visitor

[LQD]

ENXF submitted a new resource:

Get user_id of visitor - In XenForo 2, it's a matter of using visitor.

In XenForo 1, getting the user_id involved the getInstance and getUserId methods.

$user_id =XenForo_Visitor::getInstance()->getUserId();

In XenForo 2, it's a matter of using visitor().

$visitor = \XF::visitor();

$user_id = $visitor['user_id'];

Once the user_id is known then the $user information is available.

$finder = \XF::finder('XF:User');
$user = $finder->where('user_id', 1)->fetchOne();

\XF::dump($user);
