Laravel - Automatically load Auth::user() relations - php

Question

I was wondering if it's possible somehow to automatically load all Auth::user() relationships.
Auth::user() returns an instance of my App\Models\Auth\Usuario.php, and inside Usuario.php class I have some relationships with another models.
The way I'm doing it now manually loads the relations with $user->load('relation') but I need to do it in every request.
I was thinking to do something like this in my base Controller:
public function __construct()
{
$user = Auth::user();
$this->relation = $user->load('relation');
}
But It's not exactly what I'm looking for.
There is another/best way to load all the Auth::user() class relationships? Like middleware or something?

Answer 1

You can use the $with property on your model to declare relationships that should always be eager loaded.
From the docs:
Sometimes you might want to always load some relationships when
retrieving a model. To accomplish this, you may define a $with
property on the model:
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Book extends Model
{
/**
* The relationships that should always be loaded.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $with = ['author'];
/**
* Get the author that wrote the book.
*/
public function author()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Author');
}
}

I'm using a view shared variable set in a middleware, so here is a example
the route:
Route::prefix('accounts')->middleware(['auth', 'profile'])
the middleware (profile) :
view()->share('currentUser', Auth::user()>setRelations(['profile']));
in any view:
$currentUser->profile->description

Answer 3

I am not sure why you are manually loading relations, this should be done within your model?
Anyway to answer your question, i use a helpers.php which I add to composer autoload:-
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/"
},
"classmap": [
"database/seeds",
"database/factories"
],
"files": [
"app/helpers.php"
]
within this helpers file you could decalare custom global methods:-
function current_user()
{
return auth()->user();
}
