Playframework(Scala): passing user model around

I wonder what's the best practise for passing user 'model' around. I take http request and convert it to user model in my controller. I don't want to explicitly add an argument to all the templates for this model, and neither to main. What are the best practises for doing this?

THanks.

Use the Session scope.

Here is documentation for Play 2.0

http://www.playframework.com/documentation/2.0.2/ScalaSessionFlash

So for example, on the login, add the user to the Session

And on logout remove the user from the Session

Cheers!

If you are logging in, and the user is your authenticated user, then you should put the user in a WrappedRequest and make your request implicit in your templates. If you use something like SecureSocial, then UserAwareAction will provide you with a RequestWithUser (see http://securesocial.ws/guide/user-service.html) and you can do things like 

@()(implicit req:RequestWithUser)

Email = @{req.user.map(_.email)}

in your template.
