[5.3] Sharing session variables in views

[RemiCollin]

From 5.3 upgrade, it seems impossible to share session variables in views anymore, like in 5.2.

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        View::share('key', session()->get('key'));
    }
    ...
}

Is there any knew workaround to this ?

I didn't think session() was even available at the Provider boot() level since laravel 4 ??? I remember it was in L4, but in L5 they changed session to middleware which is definitely NOT ready at a provider level.

In L5.2 session wasn't available until routes or controller __construct. Not at provider level. And now in L5.3 its actually NOT even available at the routes or controller __construct level either. See #15072 for that

You can use a middleware to do this. :)

@GrahamCampbell can you please explain how one would do so with a middleware? Stuck on the same boat.
