Laravel - Package can't recognise Auth functions?

I made a package which is counting the visitors on a webpage. Currently I have a single route, controller and view which don't do very much other than display a simple string. I have a separate Laravel application where this package is specifically build for. In this separate application I have a layout file called backend.

layouts/layouts/backend.blade.php.

My package view is extending this template like so: (backend.blade.php does not exists in the package but in the separate laravel application of-course)

@extends('layouts.layouts.backend')

@section('content')
    <div class="container-fluid pt-5 ">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-6">
                <h3></h3>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
@endsection

The package successfully extends this layout but it can't find functions such as Auth::user()->token and it will say

Trying to get property 'token' of non-object (View: /Users/rainierlaan/Sites/rainierlaan/resources/views/layouts/layouts/backend.blade.php)

Why does this happen?

This is my packages service provider

 public function register()
    {
        // Controllers
        $this->app->make('Rainieren\Visitors\Http\Controllers\VisitorController');
        // Views
        $this->loadViewsFrom(__DIR__.'/resources/views', 'visitors');
        $this->publishes([
            __DIR__.'/resources/views' => resource_path('views/visitors'),
        ]);
        // Migrations
        $this->loadMigrationsFrom(__DIR__.'/database/migrations');
    }

    /**
     * Bootstrap services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        include __DIR__ . '/routes/routes.php';
    }

When I do vendor:publish the view successfully publishes to the right folder but somehow can't recognise functions such as Auth::user()->token or Auth::user()->unreadNotifications->count())

This is my package route:

<?php


Route::get('dashboard/visitors', '\Rainieren\Visitors\Http\Controllers\VisitorController@index')->name('visitors');

And this is the controller

public function index()
    {
        return view('visitors::index'); 
    }
