im a newbe, i'm trying to get the username in a view

I'm trying to get the username within a view(CBV), the documentation I found says that the logged user is within the request, but when I do

class ServiceCreateView(LoginRequiredMixin, CreateView):

          model = Service

          form_class = ServiceForm

          user=request.user.username

i get this error

AttributeError: module 'django.http.request' has no attribute 'user

any help is appreciated
