How to get User in kernel response in Symfony 5? - php

Question

I am making simple api wrapper, so all requests to https://example.comA/api/me must be catched on kernel response level and forwarded to https://api.example.comB/me and all was fine however I cannot get the currently logged in User in that kernel response because it returns null:
namespace App\Manager\Api\Event;
use App\Provider\Core\Api\CoreApi;
use GuzzleHttp\Exception\BadResponseException;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\JsonResponse;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\RequestEvent;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\ResponseEvent;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Core\Security;
class ApiWrapperEventListener
{
private $coreApi;
private $security;
public function __construct(CoreApi $coreApi, Security $security)
{
$this->coreApi = $coreApi;
$this->security = $security;
}
public function onKernelResponse(ResponseEvent $event)
{
if (!$event->isMasterRequest()) return;
$request = $event->getRequest();
if ('/api' === substr($request->getPathInfo(), 0, 4)) {
dump($this->security->getUser()); // returns NULL
die;
try {
$response = $this->coreApi->call($request->getMethod(), $request->getPathInfo(), json_decode($request->getContent(), true) ?? []);
$event->setResponse(new JsonResponse($response));
} catch (BadResponseException $error) {
dump($error);
die;
}
}
}
}
I guess Symfony is firing those events before I get the User, is there a way to get this right?
I have to note that in other places like controllers or services I get the User right.

Ok i know what was the problem.
The response controller event has no User when 404 or 500 given.
In my case I was catching 404, passing to listener and modifying the request to 200.
This approach wasn't good, so i decided to move this to Controller itself.
/**
* #Route("/api/v1/{uri}", name="api", requirements={"uri"=".+"})
*/
public function api(
Request $request,
CoreApi $coreApi
):Response
{
try
{
$response = $coreApi->call($request->getMethod(), $request->getPathInfo(), json_decode($request->getContent(), true) ?? []);
return new JsonResponse($response);
}
catch(BadResponseException $error)
{
return new Response($error->getResponse()->getBody()->getContents(), $error->getResponse()->getStatusCode());
}
}
