I use Next and all the data comes from my Laravel API.
My laravel API has a /api/user route that retrieves the user.
Everything works perfectly well, but now I'm faced with a logical problem in my Next application.

Where should I retrieve my user's data?
1 - At first, I thought I'd create an “auth-middleware” that would allow me to query my API to retrieve my user each time. It also lets me check that the session is still valid (if the user hasn't been banned, for example).
But is it a good thing to do this in middleware? And more importantly, how can I share User data cleanly with my components?

2 - The second option I imagined was to initialize a store (with Zustand) but I have no idea how I can initialize a store with the data I need to retrieve from my API.
Is this a valid and better solution than Middleware?

3 - If both solutions are no good, what should I do? The goal is to have the user data shown on the first load (no lazy load) and use user data everywhere I would use them

Thanks for your help
