In XenForo 1, getting the user_id involved the getInstance and getUserId methods.

Code:
$user_id =XenForo_Visitor::getInstance()->getUserId();

In XenForo 2, it's a matter of using visitor().

Code:
$visitor = \XF::visitor();
 
 $user_id = $visitor['user_id'];

Once the user_id is known then the $user information is available.

Code:
$finder = \XF::finder('XF:User');
 $user = $finder->where('user_id', 1)->fetchOne();
 
 \XF::dump($user);
