Call auth()->user() from NavigationItems

With Filament V2 I could do that :

        Filament::serving(function () {
            Filament::registerNavigationItems(
                auth()->user()?->groups->map(function ($group) {
                    return NavigationItem::make($group->name)
                        ->group('Group'))
                         // ...;
                })->toArray() ?? []
            );

        Filament::serving(function () {
            Filament::registerNavigationItems(
                auth()->user()?->groups->map(function ($group) {
                    return NavigationItem::make($group->name)
                        ->group('Group'))
                         // ...;
                })->toArray() ?? []
            );

And dynamic items based on authenticated user was generated. But with FIlament v3, i haven't access to auth()->user() or $panel->auth()->use() because it's always null. I know that I have to pass with callback function, but $panel->navigationItems() doesn't allow callback. I tried with $panel->navigation() but all my menu is override and it doesn't work. Have you any idea ?

Solution:

Just did a quick test, this seems to work too: ```php return $panel ->navigationItems([ NavigationItem::make('Test')...

Do you have tried pushing your FilamentPanelServiceProvider in the config/app.php file to the end of the Service Provider config?

@.johnnyc Where are you making the call to auth() in v3? Can you share the code you have been trying?

FWIW I'm experiencing this too. I am trying to use auth()->user() inside the visible method for a custom nav item and it's null. @Geisi1909 in my case the only service provider listed after the panel service provider was the RouteServiceProvider. Since the panel was after the AuthServiceProvider that's not it. Still, just to make sure I did move the panel service provider to the very end and it still was null.

I recreated it in a bare filament v3 app here: https://github.com/x7ryan/filament-v3-auth-bug

Probably not a silver bullet but I think this should work for custom navs:

class AdminPanelProvider extends PanelProvider
{
    public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
    {
        // ...
    }

    public function register()
    {
        parent::register();

        Filament::serving(function () {
            // access auth()->user()
        });
    }
}

class AdminPanelProvider extends PanelProvider
{
    public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
    {
        // ...
    }

    public function register()
    {
        parent::register();

        Filament::serving(function () {
            // access auth()->user()
        });
    }
}

    return $panel
        ->navigationItems([
            NavigationItem::make('Test')
                ->visible(fn () => auth()->user()->can('test'))
                // ...
        ])

    return $panel
        ->navigationItems([
            NavigationItem::make('Test')
                ->visible(fn () => auth()->user()->can('test'))
                // ...
        ])

Interesting....sure enough that works but that can't be intended.

X7Ryan•12mo ago

That seems more reasonable, though not how it's documented here: https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/panels/navigation#conditionally-hiding-navigation-items so the question is, is it a bug with Filament that the docs version doesn't work or is it a mistake in the docs?

Yes probably a small glitch in the docs. Feel free to send a PR if you have some time 😄
