Trying to show the current signed in users profile. What am i doing wrong | Laravel 9

Trying to show the current signed in user’s profile. What am i doing wrong.This is the function on the controller. I’m using Laravel 9

public function show(User $user)
{
    return view('users.index', with('user', $user));
}

This is the routes

    Route::resource('users', UsersController::class)->middleware('auth');

And my generic layout page

<x-dropdown-item href="/users/{{ auth()->user()->username }}" >Account</x-dropdown-item>

When i click the link i get user not found.

    You’re utilising route model binding which unless configured otherwise, requires you to provide a route with a model id. You’re providing it with a username, so Laravel is throwing a 404 because it can’t locate the relevant record in the database.

    If you replace username with id, the binding should work.

    <x-dropdown-item href="/users/{{ auth()->user()->id }}">
    Account
</x-dropdown-item>

    The code is fine. Are you sure you have a route with username, resource routes are using id.

    To access model like that you need to specify id in the route like:
    /users/{id}

    However what you are trying to do here is access the logged in user model which you can access with the facade Auth::user();

    You can access the user any time any where in the code and there is no need to pass it to an anchor link unless sending to an external system.
