How to populate variable to all view logged user

Question

I have code like bellow:

return view('Dashboard.AccountSettingsView', [
    'PageTitle' => config('app.name', 'Laravel') . ' | ' . __('Profile'),
    'PageHeader' => __('Profile'),
    'user' => Auth::user()
]);

How i can pass $user variable to all login user view, so i don't need to create 'user' => Auth::user() in every controller.

Thank you

This section of the docs shows how: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/views#sharing-data-with-all-views — Brian Lee, Apr 13 '20 at 00:51
have you solved the problem? I would recommend you use https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/views#view-composers — Andy Song, Apr 13 '20 at 02:41
@DigitalDrifter it will work if it like this `$userData = 'Test String';`, but it won't work if it like this`$userData = Auth::user();` — hrace009, Apr 13 '20 at 03:08
@DigitalDrifter when i try `dd($userData);` it give me `null` message — hrace009, Apr 13 '20 at 03:12
@AndySong seems to complicate with view composer, but i will try — hrace009, Apr 13 '20 at 03:13

Yes it's easy, what you can do is that add * for all the views. And add a check in case there is no login user.

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

if use `Auth:check()`, it will show error $user is undefined – hrace009 Apr 13 '20 at 05:04
@IHarrisMarfel in you blade file? – Andy Song Apr 13 '20 at 05:06
@IHarrisMarfel you need to do some check anyways, otherwise the the `$user` will be null. and when you access the some properties in you blade you will get an error as well. – Andy Song Apr 13 '20 at 05:10
`if (Auth::check()) { View::composer('*', function ($view) { $view->with('user', Auth::user()); });` show undifine, but with `View::composer('*', function ($view) { if ( Auth::check() ){ $view->with('user', Auth::user()); } });` it run perfect – hrace009 Apr 13 '20 at 05:26
