Symfony and php finding user data in session

Question

I need to decode this Symfony block of code that returns from my session data and then find the userid and username and email of that person. So I managed to fetch data like this but not worked for user info part :

$session =  $this->get('session');
$userSee = $session->get('_security_user.context')->getToken()->getUser();
var_dump($session);

Result :

 object(Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Session)#105 (3) {
  ["storage":protected]=>
  object(Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Storage\NativeSessionStorage)#107 (5) {
    ["bags":protected]=>
    array(2) {
      ["attributes"]=>
      object(Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Attribute\NamespacedAttributeBag)#106 (4) {
        ["namespaceCharacter":"Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Session\Attribute\NamespacedAttributeBag":private]=>

If your controller extends Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller, you can call method getUser().

For example:

namespace AppBundle\Controller;

use Sensio\Bundle\FrameworkExtraBundle\Configuration\Route;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;

/**
 * Default controller
 *
 * @Route("/app")
 */
class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @Route("/", name="app_index")
     */
    public function indexAction()
    {
        dump($this->getUser());
        return $this->render('default/index.html.twig');
    }
}

For retrieve user informations in symfony2 you have 2 way depends on your version of symfony :

$user = $this->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser(); WARNING : this is the deprecated method don't use this with symfony 2.6 and higher
$user = $this->get('security.token_storage')->getToken()->getUser(); : this is the main method official of symfony and not deprecated
