For the sake of more robust and descriptive code, you can make use of the handy User::isAnonymous() method, e.g.

if (\Drupal::currentUser()->isAnonymous()) {
  // Anonymous user...
}

Whenever possible, use methods like this: program to the interface not the implementation. Using an IDE w/ code completion is invaluable for Drupal 8 work. – mpdonadio♦ Feb 2 '15 at 15:39

For anyone else who comes across this, note that \Drupal::currentUser()->isAuthenticated() is the equivalent of D7 user_is_logged_in() – Jaypan Jan 16 '17 at 8:13
I created a custom module and I can't get this function to work. Is there something additional I need to add in my module? Thank you in advance. – SuperTony May 30 at 23:04

  $current= \Drupal::currentUser();
  if (!$current->id()) {
    // is visitor
  }
  else {
    // is logged
  }

There never was a need in PHP to do == 0. Just ! is sufficient: if (!$current->id()). – user49 Feb 4 '15 at 4:36

U can use this code::

global $user;
if ($user->uid == 0) {
  //user is not logged in
}else{
  //user is logged in
}

Drupal code works for Drupal 7, but not in Drupal 8 – Dev May 25 '17 at 12:26
Yeah and use === for strict comparison and put space before and after your else for coding standards :/ – klidifia Jul 9 at 4:45
