I didn’t get any notification on your previous question, so there might have been some bug with the email notifications?

The services/repositories does have access to the user context as the framework can be used in any setup, with or with a web context.

The simplest way to achieve this would be to subscribe to the hooks called from the different services in your application, and in that hook get the current user context from your service provider. Then you could use that information within the hook.

Best regards

Edit to include example

The easiest way (although it can be structured better for maintainability) would be to add something like this into your Program.cs before app.Run().

App.Hooks.Pages.RegisterOnBeforeSave(model =>
{
    var httpContextAccessor = app.Services.GetService<IHttpContextAccessor>();

    if (httpContextAccessor != null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"IDENTITY NAME IS: {httpContextAccessor.HttpContext.User.Identity.Name}");
    }
});

This adds a custom method when the OnBeforeSave hook for pages is triggered that outputs the name of the currently logged in user name.

Hi @tidyui

Thank you for your response. I just implemented code and got user id by registering IHttpContextAccessor httpcontext in Dbcontext. Please correct me if its wrong way to access it.

Thanks.

I've updated my answer with an example to show what I meant.
