Passing username to the url Laravel 5.2

So I decided to change the look of the urls in my application. The current look is something like that: /user/profile. This is the page the user sees, after he's logged in.

I want to pass the $username to the url, something like this: /name_of_the_user/profile

This is what I tried so far:

Route:

Route::get('/{user}/profile', [
'uses' =>'UserController@getProfile',
'as' => 'user.profile',
'middleware' => 'auth'
]);

Link:

<a href="{{ route('user.profile',auth()->check() ? auth()->user()->username : 'default') }}">User Profile</a>

This is partially working.

When the user logs in, he gets this error:

UrlGenerationException in UrlGenerationException.php line 17: Missing required parameters for [Route: user.profile] [URI: {user}/profile].

But if I reload the page its ok. The username passed successfully to the url as it supposed to.

How can I fix this error?

I should say that a user goes to /user/signin to sign in and he is being redirected to /user/profile

Any help is appreciated!

Header

<a href="{{ route('user.profile', Auth::user()->username) }}">User Profile</a>

If not working :

<a href="{{ route('user.profile', Auth::user()->username ? : 'nousernamefound') }}">User Profile</a>

You need to add some default value for users who are not logged in:

auth()->check() ? auth()->user()->username : 'default'

If you want to redirect not logged in users, use auth middleware or custom middleware for that.
