Laravel 5, View::Share

Question

I\'m trying to do a view::share(\'current_user\', Auth::User()); but in laravel 5 i can\'t find where to do this, in L4 you could do this in the baseController,

Answer 1

First, you can probably create your own BaseController and extend it in other controllers.

Second thing is, that you may use Auth:user() directly in View, you don't need to assign anything in the view.

For other usages you can go to app/Providers/App/ServiceProvider.php and in boot method you can View::share('current_user', Auth::User()); but or course you need to add importing namespaces first:

use View;
use Auth;

because this file is in App\Providers namespace
