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.

Solution

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

@Moppo it works Thanks

\session not working, getting empty results, eg i tried this print_r(\Session::all()); no results

@Kaloyan: are you sure you are not setting the variable somewhere else? I don't think you can access the session from a service provider since it's started in a middleware

@Moppo, yes, I'm not setting this anywhere else, maybe it's something that changed between 5.1 and 5.2?

it seems that you can write session from a service provider, but you can't read it. In your case it works as you are reading the value you're setting directly on the same request. But if you remove the \Session::put('lang', 'en_US'); line and make another request, the value will not be read from the session
