Answer 1

Try this
public function __construct() {
$this->middleware('auth:admin');
$this->middleware(function ($request, $next) {
$user = $this->user = Auth::user();
dd($user);
});
}
In routes
Route::get('/', function () {
//return view('welcome');
return view('auth.login');
});

Auth::user() is working only under auth middleware. You may call auth middleware on controller or call it on routes, but not on both.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
class YourController extends Controller
{
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth')
}
public function yourFunction(Request $request)
{
$user = \Auth::user();
dd($user);
}
}
<?php
Route::get('your-uri', function () {
$user = \Auth::user();
dd($user);
})->middleware('auth');
