How to share auth::user a**** all views in laravel?

To share the authenticated user across all views in Laravel, you can use view composers. View composers are callbacks or class methods that are called when a view is rendered. They allow you to share data with multiple views.

Follow these steps to share the authenticated user:

1. Open the AppProvidersAppServiceProvider.php file.
2. In the boot method, add the following code:

1
2
3

use IlluminateSupportFacadesView;
use IlluminateSupportFacadesAuth;

public function boot()
{
    View::composer('*', function ($view) {
        $view->with('currentUser', Auth::user());
    });
}

This code registers a view composer that runs for all views ('*'). It shares the logged-in user object (retrieved using Auth::user()) with the variable currentUser.

1. Save the file.

Now, you can access the authenticated user in any view by using the $currentUser variable. For example, in a view file, you can access the user's email as follows:

1

{{ $currentUser->email }}

Make sure to check if the user is authenticated before accessing the properties.
