app.blade.php布局没有看到更新的用户信息

Question

I'm building a site using Laravel 5.2. I have a function that simply changes one attribute of a user. It changes the "type" attribute from "individual" to "business". The function is simple and changes the database. It looks like this:

public function addBusiness() {
    $user = Auth::user()->update([
        'type' => 'business'
    ]);

    Session::flash('msg_title', 'Awesome!');
    Session::flash('message', 'You\'ve added a business to your account');
    return redirect()->back(); 

}

If I display the attribute in the body it displays business as it should.

However, in the header (located in the layout app.blade.php file) it still shows "individual." I did a test where I had {{Auth::user()->type}} in both app.blade.php and my body blade file, it displayed "individual" in app.blade.php, and "business" in the body on the same screen.

It even persists after Session::flush(); after logout/login, or even login from another browser.

Answer 1

try \Auth::setUser($user) after updating user

check def in laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Auth/Guard::setUser
