Im trying to work with Sessions in Laravel 5 Middleware, but they are not working.
To be specific - var_dump(Session::all()); at the start of handle method give
I had the same problem. @WoodyDRN said you need add StartSession middleware to your kernel file to you but it is not best way to solve this problem. So, how do I know that? Because I added and request the validation system is broken.
Best way to solve this problem, adding your language middleware to web middleware array
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
// \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
\App\Http\Middleware\Localization::class,
],
'api' => [
'throttle:60,1',
'bindings',
],
];
