Getting Current User Id in AspNet Core

Question

So far in Asp.Net I have used this command to get current username

var currentUsername = !string.IsNullOrEmpty(System.Web.HttpContext.Current?.User?.Identity?.Name)
 ? HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name
 : "Anonymous";

How should I use this method to get username in AspnetCore ?

Thank you

• Nkosi: Within a controller or external to a controller? If external here is the IHttpContextAccessor that can be injected into dependent classes and access the HttpContext via that that interface. var context = accessor.HttpContext

 private readonly UserManager<User> _userManager ;
public LoginController(UserManager<User> userManager){
_userManager=userManager
}
public IActionResult GetUserName()
{
 User user = _userManager.GetUserAsync(HttpContext.User).Result;
 var userName=user.Username;
}
