Why is user verification not working?

Question

Laravel

There is a simple package for administering articles Link . Everything would be fine, but he does not have his own secure admin panel. The author himself proposes such a check

public static function checkUser(?User $user)
    {
        return $user ? $user->id === 1 : false;
    }

However, $user->id turns out to be empty in this case. Tried to call auth ()-> user ()-> id - swears that this type is not a static method. How to beat this check? Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

I had to throw out almost all the procedures for checking the author and check the routes
