php - CakePHP 3: How to properly check if a user is logged in -

in cakephp 3, found 2 ways find if user logged in.

1st solution

if(!is_null($this->auth->user('id'))){         // logged in } 

2nd solution

if (!is_null($this->request->session()->read('auth.user.id'))) {     // logged in } 

i think first 1 better because it's short , concise.

is there better way verify if user logged in?

i'm not looking speed necessarily. want clean , expressive way write it.

i think best way just:

if ($this->auth->user()) {...}
