Get username in Asp.Net Core Controller

What is the accepted way to get the username of a Asp.Net Core REST service inside of the controller? Assuming the authentication is done by JWT?

I see User.Claims.First().Value contains the username, but is it always going to be in the first claim?

Or is there some better way to access it?

You can use the FindFirst() function on the ClaimsPrincipal class.

Examples: 

// using built in claim types
User.FindFirst(System.Security.Claims.ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier); 

// using custom claim type
User.FindFirst("username");
