Laravel Auth User Object on all responses

Question

I want to append an auth user object (if available) to all responses on my Laravel app.

I have the following code here as Auth User object

  "user": {
    "name": "mike",
    "has_active_subscription": false,
    "is_onboarded": false,
    "email_verified": false
  }

Is there a middleware approaching to attaching this to all responses?

Answer 1

You can make middleware or use trait here. I am doing it with trait ,

namespace App\Traits;
            
use Illuminate\Http\Response;
            
    trait Response{
                
        protected function response($response) {
            //import auth above
            $user = Auth::user();
            if (isset($user)) {
                $response = [...$response, ...$user];
            }
        
        return response()->json($response);
    }
}

Now make a parent controller BaseController

class BaseController {
   use Response;
}

Now just extends your other controller with BaseController and you can use response() method easily in that controller too.

Answer 2

but I think this will help:

1. An assumption - I believe you are saying that yes, this line will get you the user you want:

   $user = $team->User()->first();
   

and you merely want to bind it to the request so that you can access this user later in your app via:

   $request->user()

2. If this is true, then all I did was simplify the code you provided to add:

   $request->merge(['user' => $user ]);
   

//add this

$request->setUserResolver(function () use ($user) {
    return $user;
});

// if you dump() you can now see the $request has it

dump($request->user());

return $next($request);

I also $request->user() in the route closure, and it is there.

The app rebinding was a little strange to me, and didn't seem necessary. I'm not sure that anything would really need this for what you are doing.
