Laravel 5.3 :How To use Check Auth in Global Middleware? - laravel

Question

I want show the number of unread messages in the header of my site and a few other views. For this I wrote a global middleware, but this middleware can not access of auth info of the signed up user.
<?php
namespace PTA_OIMS\Http\Middleware;
use Illuminate\View\Factory;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Guard;
use PTA_OIMS\Kartable;
use Session;
class UnreadMessage
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #return mixed
*/
protected $auth;
protected $view;
public function __construct(Guard $auth, Factory $view)
{
$this->auth = $auth;
$this->view = $view;
}
public function handle($request, Closure $next)
{
$unreadMessage = NULL;
$user = $this->auth->check();
if (!empty($user)) {
$unreadMessage = Kartable::
where('id_reciver', '=',
Session::get('personnel_info.0')->box_id)
->whereBetween('status', [1, 2])
->where('view_date', '=', Null)
->count();
}
$this->view->share('unreadMessage', $unreadMessage);
return $next($request);
}
}
UPDATE:
<?php
namespace PTA_OIMS\Http;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Kernel as HttpKernel;
class Kernel extends HttpKernel
{
/**
* The application's global HTTP middleware stack.
*
* These middleware are run during every request to your application.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $middleware = [
\Illuminate\Foundation\Http\Middleware\CheckForMaintenanceMode::class,
\PTA_OIMS\Http\Middleware\UnreadMessage::class,
];
/**
* The application's route middleware groups.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $middlewareGroups = [
'web' => [
\PTA_OIMS\Http\Middleware\EncryptCookies::class,
\Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\AddQueuedCookiesToResponse::class,
\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\StartSession::class,
\Illuminate\View\Middleware\ShareErrorsFromSession::class,
\PTA_OIMS\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
\Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
],
'api' => [
'throttle:60,1',
'bindings',
],
];
/**
* The application's route middleware.
*
* These middleware may be assigned to groups or used individually.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $routeMiddleware = [
'auth' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authenticate::class,
'auth.basic' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\AuthenticateWithBasicAuth::class,
'bindings' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\SubstituteBindings::class,
'can' => \Illuminate\Auth\Middleware\Authorize::class,
'guest' => \PTA_OIMS\Http\Middleware\RedirectIfAuthenticated::class,
'throttle' => \Illuminate\Routing\Middleware\ThrottleRequests::class,
];
}

Try to use global auth() helper:
$user = auth()->check();
