Update another table during registration, register event

[mauriceb77]

Hello,

My site only allows user to register when they are referred to the site and they enter a valid registration code, I have this working fine. However, I need to update my user referral table with the newly created user ID when the user is registering. I am using the "register" event triggered by Shield's RegisterController to call a custom class::method but as the user is not yet logged in, I am not sure how to get the current user ID.

Is using the event the correct approach and if so, how can I get the current user ID without using auth()->id()?

Thanks,

You can use the following explanations.
https://github.com/codeigniter4/shield/blob/develop/docs/events.md#register
Have you read this section? If yes, what is unclear?

In addition to @datamweb's suggestion the piece you might be missing is that the new user is passed into the Register event as a parameter, so when you set up your listener it can receive the object:

Events::on('register', static function ($user) {
    echo $user->id;
});

Can you share what you extend? I would like to implement something similar

Below is what I implemented.

I created my own register view based on Shield's view and update the Auth config to use my view.

**Config/Validation: Added rule to validate the registration code against the registering email. **

use \App\Validation\RegisterRules;

    public $ruleSets = [
        ....
        RegisterRules::class,
    ];

public $registration = 
    [
        'rcode'    => [ 'label' => 'Registration Code',
                       'rules'  => 'required|max_length[50]|validate_code[rcode,email]'],

namespace App\Validation;

class RegisterRules
{
    public function validate_code($str, string $fields, array $data): bool
    {
        $UserModel = new \App\Models\User_model();

        if($UserModel->validate_registration_code($data['email'],$data['rcode']))
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

Config/Events: Added call to registration code redemption function on the RegisterController's "register" event.

Events::on('register', function($user)
            {
                $registration = new \App\Libraries\Registration();
                $registration->redeem_referral($user);
            });

In my redeem_referral method, I update my referral table with the new user ID.

$UserModel = new \App\Models\User_model();

      $data = $UserModel->get_referral_key($user->id);
      if($UserModel->redeem_referral($data['recipient_email'],$data['code'],$user->id))
      {
....
      }
