I am having difficulty in understanding how to pass data to a `.blade`. I want to pass the users' username `($user)` to a dashboard component. Here's a few things I've tried:

```
return view('livewire.dashboard', ['user'=>'$user']);
return view('livewire.dashboard', compact('$user'));
return view('livewire.dashboard'->with('user',$user));

```

But then I realized that the class I was trying to pass the user info from didn't know what the user variable is. Here is the class (Dashboard.php):

```
<?php

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Illuminate\Contracts\View\View;
use Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Container\BindingResolutionException;
use Livewire\Component;

class Dashboard extends Component
{
    /**
     * @return View|Factory
     * @throws BindingResolutionException
     */
    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.dashboard');
    }
}

```

And here is my web.php file:

```
use App\Http\Livewire\Dashboard;
use App\Http\Livewire\User;

    // Dashboard
    Route::get('/', Dashboard::class)->name('dashboard');
    // I have also tried something like 'Route get user' here, also didn't work

     // User routes
    Route::prefix('/users')->group(function () {
        Route::get('/', User\Index::class)->name('users.index');
        Route::get('/create', User\Create::class)->name('users.create');
        Route::get('/{user}', User\Edit::class)->name('users.edit');
    });

```

I'm having difficulty understanding how components/classes/blade tamplates communicate with each other. How can I pass the username of the person currently logged in to my dashboard.blade.php file? It looks like this:

```
    @isset($user)
    Hallo {{ $user->name }},
    @endisset
</div>
<div>Willkommen im Formular-Editor!</div>
<div>Neue Formulare kannst du über den Tab "Editor" oben in der Leiste anlegen. Hier kannst Du auch bestehende Formulare bearbeiten.</div>  

```

An explanation as well as a solution would be appreciated, as I really don't understand how Laravel works. Thank you
