Sentinel::getUser() only returns null in appServiceProvider.php

Question

I wanted to use Sentinel::getUser() in the AppServiceProvider.php to make it global in all front-end files.

I include it in the boot function, like this:

view()->share( 'loggedUser', Sentinel::getUser() ); 

or

View::share("loggedUser",Sentinel::getUser());

Also have I included:

use Cartalyst\Sentinel\Native\Facades\Sentinel;

But when I do it the only response is NULL. When I use Sentinel:getuser() in a blade file it works.

Not only is it giving NULL as response, when I have that included my php artisan also return NULL on every command I make.

Does anyone know what to do?
