Using the package with Laravel 5.4 and Sentinel

[Krasimir-Todorov]

Hello, I've managed to load the sidebar, extend it and render it, all looks pretty awesome. I experienced some difficulty with using Sentinel inside SidebarExtenders to display some of the menus based on the permissions of the user. Unfortunately, when I try to access Sentinel it's always a empty object. I found that from Laravel 5.3 there is а change how classes are loaded and you can not access Auth (maybe Sentinel also) within construct methods and while Laravel boots because actually there is still no real request. That's a problem because we load the sidebar using dependency injection inside the construct method of our AdminController. So my questions are: 1) Does this package supports using of Sentinel inside it for Laravel 5.4? 2) Or can we somehow load the sidebar inside a middleware maybe? (Where Sentinel is available and works)

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I'm also using sentinel inside the extenders, and they're working as expecting. They're able to get the current user etc.

Try resolving it through a view creator like in the docs.
