Modularous

Appearance

CurrentUser ​

Class: Unusualify\Modularous\Http\ViewComposers\CurrentUser
Source: src/Http/ViewComposers/CurrentUser.php

Injects the authenticated user into every view as $currentUser. Uses Modularous configured auth guard rather than the default Laravel guard, ensuring the correct user is resolved in multi-guard setups.

Injected Variable ​

VariableTypeDescription
currentUserarray|nullThe authenticated user's profile data, or null when no user is authenticated

Behaviour ​

  1. Resolves the auth guard name from Modularous::getAuthGuardName().
  2. Retrieves the authenticated user via AuthFactory::guard($guardName)->user().
  3. If a user is found, passes it through the get_user_profile($user) helper, which normalises the model into a plain array with the fields expected by the frontend (name, email, avatar, role, etc.).
  4. Exposes the result as compact('currentUser') — null when unauthenticated.

Usage in Views ​

blade
{{-- Blade --}}
@if($currentUser)
    Welcome, {{ $currentUser['name'] }}
@endif
js
// Inertia (shared props)
const { currentUser } = usePage().props

Configuration ​

The guard name is read from the Modularous config:

php
// config/modularous.php
'auth' => [
    'guard' => 'web',   // used by Modularous::getAuthGuardName()
],
