How to find out information about the current user in October CMS?

Question

Laravel

An authorized user clicks a button on a certain page, thereby sending an ajax request, which is processed in the plugin in the routes.php file. There, I have to get the user's data via the command Auth::getUser();, but it returns NULL even though the current user is authorized.
Why is the command Auth::getUser(); can produce NULL and how can I still get information about the user in my case?

For those who also have the same question:
In the routes.php file, you need to connect an intermediary (middleware) web
I.e., the code will look like this:

Route::post( $path, ['middleware' => 'web',function(){
    echo Auth::getUser()->id;
}]);
