Service providers in Laravel - how to know if a user is logged in?

Question

Laravel

I decided to connect the menu through the service provider, here is the code that I insert into the boot method:

if (\Auth::guest()) {
            $links = '1';
        } else {
            $links = '2';
        }
        \Debugbar::info(\Auth::guest());
    view()->composer('menu.menu', function($view) use ($links) {
            $view->with('links', $links);
        });

The problem is that \Auth::guest() returns true whether the user is logged in or not. Tell me what I missed?

Answer 1

Replace with \Auth::user()
Then just like this:

dd($auth->user()); // null

        view()->composer('partials.nav', function($view) use ($auth){
            dd($auth->user()); // returns User object
            $view->with('currentUser', $auth->user()); // does what you expect
        });

Answer 2

Auth::user() needs to be checked

Answer 3

guest of course will be true
normal check

@if(Auth::check())
//действие
@endif
