Store loggedin user information in session and destroy the data after logging out in Laravel 5.4

I want to store some information of a user in session when he/she logs in to my application. And I want to destroy that session data after that user logs out of my application.

How can I achieve this in Laravel 5.4 with Auth?

Laravel calls authenticated method after a successful login. You can add your session information here so that they get added when a user logs in.

Add this method to app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php 

protected function authenticated(Request $request, $user)
{
    // Store information in session for user
}

By default laravel flushes all the session information when a user logs out. By if you want to handle it differently or make changes. Add this to your LoginController and make the changes.

public function logout(Request $request)
{
    $this->guard()->logout();

    $request->session()->flush();

    $request->session()->regenerate();

    return redirect('/');
}

By doing the above you're basically overriding laravel's built in methods and adding additional functionality.
