Passing shared variable after login with Laravel 5.5 - model-view-controller

Question

i created a method in order to share datas with all views of my application.
For this i created a class EntityRepository where i store the datas I want to share with all views.
Those data are displayed in the layout NOT the view.
class EntityRepository
{
use App\Valuechain;
public function getEntities()
{
$vcs = Valuechain::select('valuechains.id', 'lang_valuechain.vcname', 'lang_valuechain.vcshortname')
->join('lang_valuechain', 'valuechains.id', '=', 'lang_valuechain.valuechain_id')
->join('langs', 'lang_valuechain.lang_id', '=', 'langs.id')
->where('langs.isMainlanguage', '=', '1')
->whereNull('valuechains.deleted_at')
->get();
return $vcs;
}
}
When I want to send datas to the methods I simply call the getEntities() method... For example :
public function index(EntityRepository $vcs)
{
$entitiesLists = $vcs->getEntities();
// My code here ...
return view('admin.pages.maps.sectors.index', compact('entitiesLists', 'myVars'));
}
In this specific case it works fine and i don't have issue. My issue concerns the landing page after login.
In the loginController :
I defined the redirectTo variable this way :
public $redirectTo = '/admin/home';
For specific reasons I had to override the authentificated() method in the LoginController in order to check if my app is configured or need to be setup ...
protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
{
$langCount = Lang::count();
if ($langCount == 0) {
return redirect()->to('admin/setup/lang');
}
else {
//return redirect()->to('admin/home');
return redirect()->action('BackOffice\StatsController#index');
}
}
The concerned index() method is sending the variable onto the view :
public function index(EntityRepository $vcs)
{
$entitiesLists = $vcs->getEntities();
return view('admin.home', compact('entitiesLists'));
}
Whatever the return i make i have error message...
Undefined variable: entitiesLists (View: C:\wamp64\www\network-dev\resources\views\admin\partials\header-hor-menu.blade.php)

I finally solved this issue by changing my routes :
Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin'], function () {
Route::get('/', function (){
$checkAuth = Auth::guard('admin')->user();
if ($checkAuth) {
return redirect('/admin/main');
}
else {
return redirect('admin/login');
}
});
});
In my loginController i changed :
public $redirectTo = '/admin/home';
to :
public $redirectTo = '/admin/main';
Finally :
protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
{
$langCount = Lang::count();
if ($langCount == 0) {
return redirect()->to('admin/setup/lang');
}
else {
return redirect()->to('admin/main');
}
}
