title: Laravel add Auth session variables
body: <p>After user logging to the system(<em>Auth::attempt success</em>)</p>
  
  <p>How to add additional data to the Auth session for user ?</p>
  
  <p>I have user all data but there is no profile image data of user.Profile image of user is save into another table like <code>user_profile_image</code>.</p>
  
  <p>I have to set profile image data in <code>Auth::user()-&gt;file_name</code> till when user logout.</p>
  
  <p>I tried this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Auth::user()-&gt;setAttribute('key','value'); 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>Auth::user()-&gt;file_name=$filename; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it doesn't work.</p>
