CakePHP 3.x - AuthComponent::user() in View

Question

In CakePHP 2.x you could do

 AuthComponent::user()

in View to get data from Auth component. In CakePHP 3.0beta3 it throws:

 "Error: Class 'AuthComponent' not found"

Is there a simple way to get data from AuthComponent in View?

Answer 1

In View:

$this->request->session()->read('Auth.User.username');

In Controller

$this->Auth->user('username');
