Getting the user id

I am following a tutorial where they use

const userId = await auth.getUserId(ctx)

const userId = await auth.getUserId(ctx)

This is apprently deprecated now, so looking at the Convex code nase in my IDE I see I have to use

const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);

const userId = await getAuthUserId(ctx);

However, I cannot find any mention of getAuthUserId(ctx) in the Convex documentation. Can anyone help?

Welcome! That's in the Convex Auth docs: https://labs.convex.dev/auth/authz#get-currently-signed-in-user-id

Only applies to Convex Auth users, not eg., clerk, Auth0, etc

Many thanks, I wasn't looking in the right place. I had tried the AI assistant, but it didnt have a clue.
