Yii Framework get user data

How can I get currently online user data with all the parameters from the database? Right now I get it's ID by using this:

echo Yii::$app->user->getId();

Can I reach other data somehow or do I have to create a function which gets all the information by the user ID?

You can access the model of the currently logged in user with:

$user = Yii::$app->user->identity;

This will return either null (if the user is not logged in) or an instance of the identityClass you defined for the user component in your config. Ex:

'user' => [
    'identityClass' => 'app\models\User',
    'enableAutoLogin' => true,
],

So you can use it like any other model class and access it's attributes and/or methods. Just make sure you configure correctly the user component and the identityClass exists and can be accessed.

You can access to all the identity values in this way

this for username

Yii::$app->user->identity->username

check for your User models for others attributes

(and your User model of course)

current user is: 

Yii::$app->user->identity

it can be null, so check it before accessing fields
