✅ Decorate class (controller) with item from httpcontext

httpContextAccessor.HttpContext?.Items["User"]

httpContextAccessor.HttpContext?.Items["User"]

I am storing Id of user that performs calls.

The way I am retrieving it

    public GroupController(IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor)
    {
        _profileId = (Guid)(httpContextAccessor.HttpContext?.Items["User"] ?? throw new ArgumentException("Invalid token"));
    }

    public GroupController(IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor)
    {
        _profileId = (Guid)(httpContextAccessor.HttpContext?.Items["User"] ?? throw new ArgumentException("Invalid token"));
    }

I have two questions.
1) I don't want to in constructor always build

profileId

profileId

I would prefer that it would be injected into

constructor

constructor

itself or injected into method. How to achieve this? For example something like this

    [Authorize]
    [HttpGet("groups")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> GetGroupsByProfile(Guid profileId, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

    [Authorize]
    [HttpGet("groups")]
    public async Task<IActionResult> GetGroupsByProfile(Guid profileId, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

2) Is there a better approach of finding out what user (id) it's performing request?

The way I set this information is following: I have Middleware that performs call to another service

var response = await _httpClient.PostAsync($"authentication/authenticate?token={token}", new StringContent(""));

var response = await _httpClient.PostAsync($"authentication/authenticate?token={token}", new StringContent(""));

later I deserialize response

var userPayload = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<UserResponse>(responseContent, options)

var userPayload = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<UserResponse>(responseContent, options)

and for final part I am adding UserId to httpContext

context.Items["User"] = userPayload.Id;

context.Items["User"] = userPayload.Id;
