Laravel receive user object

Question

Currently I'm trying to receive the entire object (model) from the user. Right now I'm doing it like this (for example if I want to receive the email) :

$email = Auth::user()->email;

But when I do this:

$user = Auth::all();

It doesn't work obviously I'm doing something wrong. I've already searched in the laravel documentation but can't find it. Could someone explain this to me?

Thanks.

Have you tried $user = Auth::user(); ?

$user = Auth::user();

Auth is not a model! Also, I don't believe you: Documentation

Oke thanks. Is it also possible to give that user object to for example a navbar that I've included in other views? I think it would be something like this? return compact('user')); ??

Sure you can pass it to the view like any other variable. Since you probably don't want to do that in every controller though, I recommend you look into View Composers
