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,
view::share(\'current_user\', Auth::User());
In Laravel 5 uses the same method as in laravel 4:
View::share('current_user', Auth::User());
or using the view helper:
view()->share('current_user', Auth::User());
See in http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/views
