I think the name is misleading.

Would you say user() it's better?

[ibrasho]

I think user is a better name.

+1 on using user() instead of auth().

The other helpers tend to return an object of that type, i.e. redirect(). Following this logic, I’d expect auth() to return the authenticator implementation, not the currently authenticated user (if any).

Please squash to one commit.

[joecohens]

Sure!

[taylorotwell]

Hmm, will leave this up to you defining in your own app.

[joecohens]

Ok ;)
