Can't get the current logged in user's id

Question

I have two tables: users and posts. I made relation between these two tables. When I try to save, the post created by the user to posts to a table. It does not pass the user's id. Please check the below code:

User Model ( App\User.php )

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable;
class User extends Model implements Authenticatable
{
    use \Illuminate\Auth\Authenticatable;

    public function posts()
    {
        $this->hasMany('App\Post');
    }
}

Post Model ( App\Post.php )

    <?php

    namespace App;

    use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

    class Post extends Model
    {
        public function user()
        {
            $this->belongsTo('App\User');
        }
    }

Post Controller ( App\Http\Controllers\PostController.php )

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Post;
class PostController extends Controller
{
    public function postCreatePost(Request $request)
    {
        //validation here will come

        $post = new Post();
        $post->body = $request['body'];
        $request->user()->posts()->save();
        return redirect()->route('dashboard');

    }
}

I found the solution. So, I will post the answer of my question.

I get the current logged in user'id from Auth::id();

So I changed my codes as below

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Http\Requests;
use App\Post;
class PostController extends Controller
{
    public function postCreatePost(Request $request)
    {
        //validation here will come

        $post = new Post();
        $post->body = $request['body'];
        $post->user_id = \Auth::id();
        $post->save();
        return redirect()->route('dashboard');

    }
}
