How get user information inside of controller

Question

I create route, and controller for it. All works fine if i call route like so.

....

return $this->_pageFactory->create();

....

However when I want get user data from Magento\Customer\Model\Session inside controller i get error. I use $om to get data but i don`t know why it crash. I need user session for redirect to login form if user is not logged in.

...
 $om = $context->getObjectManager();
 $this->_customerSession = $om->get('Magento\Customer\Model\Session');
 $this->_resultFactory = $context->getResultFactory();
...

in execute

if ($this->_customerSession->isLoggedIn()) {
 return $this->_pageFactory->create();
}
$redirect = $this->_resultFactory->create(\Magento\Framework\Controller\ResultFactory::TYPE_REDIRECT);
$redirect->setUrl('/customer/account/create/');
return $redirect;

So question is how to redirect customer away from route if its not log in ?

• Marbonka: Does this answer your question? How to check if customer is logged in or not?
• Rohan Hapani: Replace with $redirect->setUrl('customer/account/create/')
• user2217288: redirect works i just don`t want to use objectManager in controller to create dependency. But when i add dependency to constructor it breaks.

Please use like below in your controller to get customer session.

<?php

namespace Vendor\Module\Controller\Index;
class Custom extends \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action 
{
 protected $_customerSession;
 
 protected $_customerUrl;
 public function __construct(
 \Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context $context,
 \Magento\Customer\Model\Session $customerSession,
 \Magento\Customer\Model\Url $customerUrl
 ) {
 $this->_customerSession = $customerSession;
 $this->_customerUrl = $customerUrl;
 parent::__construct($context);
 }
 public function isCustomerLogin()
 {
 return $this->_customerSession->isLoggedIn();
 }
 public function getCustomerLoginUrl() 
 { 
 return $this->_customerUrl->getLoginUrl();
 }
}
