Count post in laravel default dashboard

I've used auth scaffold to create login and auth system for my site. I want to count the post and show it in the dashboard. But in LoginController.php and RegisterController.php there is just one line code protected $redirectTo = '/home'; to return view. How do i count post and show it in the dashboard.

Thanks to everyone who tried to help me out.

I found that when we use laravel auth scaffolding laravel uses use AuthenticatesUsers; in LoginController.php and use RegistersUsers; in RegisterController.php which is known as trait. And both trait use another trait RedeirectUsers.php to redirect or show view after we login or register a new user. It would not be a nice idea messing up those files.But instead I used balde injection method in dashboard.blade.php

@inject('posts','App\Post') //place it in top of dashboard.blade.php
{{$posts->count()}}

No need to make extra view,models & controller to pass data to dashboard

If you want to count posts which are belong to the user, you can use count() method:

$postsCount = Post::where('user_id', auth()->user()->id)->count;

Or using relationship:

$postsCount = auth()->user()->posts()->count();
