Laravel: How to access session value in AppServiceProvider?

Question

Is there any way available to access Session values in AppServiceProvider? I would like to share session value globally in all views.

Answer 1

You can't read session directly from a service provider: in Laravel the session is handled by StartSession middleware that executes after all the service providers boot phase

If you want to share a session variable with all view, you can use a view composer from your service provider:

public function boot()
{
    view()->composer('*', function ($view) 
    {
        $view->with('your_var', \Session::get('var') );    
    });  
}

The callback passed as the second argument to the composer will be called when the view will be rendered, so the StartSession will be already executed at that point
