title: Laravel Auth user id in controller
body: <p>I am using the Laravel boilerplate. I'm trying to get the <code>user_id</code> of the signed in user. I am getting the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Class 'App\Http\Controllers\Frontend\Auth' not found</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Here is the call </p>
  
  <pre><code>$user = Auth::user();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I try to get the id using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$user-&gt;id
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I missing?</p>
