在Laravel 5.2中，auth（） - > user（）为null

Question

I just update the composer to Laravel 5.2 and not able to view password protected pages. Basically below line of code is not working.

auth()->user() 

Can somebody suggest why this is not working ?

Answer 1

Make sure any routes that require sessions (which Auth uses) are behind the 'web' middleware group.

Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
    // your routes
});

This is a change that is new to 5.2. By default routes do not have this middleware stack applied. The web middleware group sets the session store, cookies, and csrf protection.

Answer 2

In Laravel 5.2 upgrade, routes that use Auth must be in web middleware group.

I solved this problem in app/Http/Kernel.php moving web middleware groups to global middlewares.

protected $middleware = [
    \Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode::class,
    \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
    \Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
    \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
    \Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
    \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class
];

Answer 3

May it will help someone else. But don't forget to see what the guard you are using. For example, for admins you may not default guard, but create your own. Don't forget it. Calling \\Auth::guard($guard)->user()

Answer 4

For those who don't want to blindly add middleware to routes, you simply need to add the classes that manage cookies & sessions to the relevant middleware group ( api in my case). For me those classes where:

\App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,

This is how my App\\Http\\Kernel::$middleWare variable ended up looking:

protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        ...
    ],

    'api' => [
        'throttle:60,1',
        \App\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
        \Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
        \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
        \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authenticate::class
    ],
];
